  • Door Products Review: Door Hardware
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (8/27/2007)
  • John Carter strives to catch the eye of prospective home buyers. The owner of Unity Construction Group in Nashville, Tenn., builds about four spec homes a year in the $1.5 million-to-$2 million price range, so he needs to use products that are both unique and that will appeal to the widest variety of buyers. "The people that look at these homes are pretty particular," he says. "If I was just using run-of-the-mill stuff, they'd probably turn around and walk out of the house." He says that door hardware is one of his most important choices. "It's like jewelry on the home," he says. "If they don't see what they like on the hardware, they say 'What other corners did he cut?'" Lucky for Carter and for builders and designers at every price range, there's never been a better time to find door hardware that is unique and appealing to consumers. From bamboo looks to fleur-de-lis patterns, hardware can add a touch of individuality to doors.
