Key locks are the traditional choice for securing steel boxes. They are easy to use and provide a high level of security when paired with a strong and sturdy key. However, keys can be lost or stolen, which poses a risk to the security of your belongings. For added peace of mind, consider keeping a spare key in a separate location or investing in a lock that allows for key duplication.

Post caps are another place where cost cuts can be made.  Lots of manufacturers will use a stamped steel standard cap which is easier to produce and squish on the top of the post.  For the more decorative ball style post caps, some will make them out of aluminum, or worse, plastic.  Our Stronghold Iron fence line uses cast iron caps for both styles that you can see in the photos below.  The cast iron gives it a nice textured and authentic appearance.

In summary, steel door pull handles represent a perfect amalgamation of functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability. Their strength, security features, design versatility, ergonomic comfort, and low maintenance needs make them an exceptional choice for a variety of applications. Whether you are renovating your home, outfitting a new office, or designing an industrial space, consider steel pull handles as a practical and stylish hardware solution. With their enduring appeal and robust nature, they are sure to serve as a functional yet decorative finishing touch for years to come.
