There are different types of handles, including bridge handles. Bridge handles feature a simple, ergonomic design that makes them easy to use. And while they may look similar to other handles, bridge handles feature a unique shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Bridge Handles?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bridge handles are pull-to-open handles. They are known as &#8220;bridge handles&#8221; because of their bridge-like shape. They feature a raised bar section in the center that slopes down on the sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Applications for Bridge Handles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use bridge handles on doors. As long as a door features a flat front &#8212; and it can hold threaded fasteners &#8212; it should support a bridge handle. Bridge handles are a popular choice for doors because of their simple design. Once installed, they will provide a bar that you can grab and pull to open a door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use bridge handles on cabinets. Cabinets require some type of handle or knob to open and close. Bridge handles offer a solution. Installing a bridge handle on a cabinet drawer will allow you to open the drawer by pulling it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While most bridge handles are used on wooden doors and cabinets, they can be used on aluminum profiles. You can install a bridge handle on just about any aluminum profile. If you need to open or otherwise pull an aluminum profile, you may want to install a bridge handle on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Things to Consider When Shopping for Bridge Handles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When shopping for bridge handles, check to see what type of threaded fasteners are required for installation. Most bridge handles have a single hole at each end. To install a bridge handle, you&#8217;ll need to place it against the door or surface, after which you can drive a pair of threaded fasteners through these holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The specific type of threaded fastener that a bridge handle requires for installation, though, may vary. Some bridge handles may require fasteners with wider threads than others. Threads can be narrow or wide. Narrow-thread fasteners have a shorter distance between their individual threads than wide-thread fasteners. M6 screws, for instance, have a thread distance of 6 millimeters. The distance between each of their threads is 6 millimeters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should consider the material when shopping for bridge handles. Most bridge handles are made of a single piece of material, such as plastic. Plastic bridge handles are lightweight, comfortable and durable. These properties make them a popular choice. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not all handles are the same. There are different types of handles, including bridge handles.
