\"Assist<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Are you looking to buy assist handles? Consisting of a raised bar-like handle with fastener holes on the ends, assist handles are commonly used on doors, walls, machines and other surfaces. You can mount them vertically or horizontally. Once mounted, you can grab them. There are several things you should consider, however, when choosing assist handles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1) Material<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Assist handles are available in different materials. Some of the most common materials in which they are made include stainless steel and aluminum. Stainless steel assist handles are stronger and more durable than their aluminum counterparts, but aluminum assist handles weigh less and are better protected against rust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2) Fastener Holes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How many fastener holes do the assist handles feature? All assist handles require mounting. You must mount them on an object or surface using a set of fasteners. Some assist handles only have a single fastener hole on each end, but others have two fastener holes on each end. Regardless, you should consider how many fastener holes the assist handles have, and you should consider the size of those holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3) Diameter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don’t forget to consider the diameter when choosing assist handles. Some assist handles are thicker than others. The diameter, of course, represents the thickness of an assist handles. There are assist handles with a diameter of a half-inch, and there are others with a diameter of over 1 inch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4) Finish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether they are made of stainless steel, aluminum or any other material, assist handles may feature a finish. Some of them have a plain finish. Other assist handles, however, have a chrome or brass finish. Finishes offer a unique aesthetic element. At the same time, they can help to protect the underlying metal from damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5) Standard vs Heavy Duty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are heavy-duty assist handles available. As the name suggests, they are designed to withstand greater force than standard assist handles. Most heavy-duty assist handles have a bigger diameter than their standard counterpart, and they typically have two fastener holes on each end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#6) Length<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the diameter, you should consider the length when choosing assist handles. Assist handles are available in different lengths. Some of them are short, measuring just 5 or 6 inches long. Other assist handles are longer, measuring up to 16 inches long. You should choose assist handles in an appropriate length for the object or surface on which you intend to mount them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
