Open the door, close the door: this is how often we open a door in our lives

We pay little attention to some things that we do every day. Who has ever thought about how often they open and close a door every day? In fact, this happens on average around 30 times a day. Extrapolated, this means that a single door in a household is moved up to 100,000 times in the course of its life before it is replaced at some point. But what does this mean for the quality of doors and their fittings?

Hard work for doors: more than 2 million movements in a lifetime

If you consider that the average person lives to be over 70 years old, that's an incredible 2 million door movements. For larger families or frequently visited rooms, the figure is even higher. The strain on doors and especially their fittings is therefore enormous.

Finding the perfect durable door

How do you find a door that can withstand this daily strain - and looks good at the same time? The answer lies in the combination of high-quality materials and precise workmanship. Glass doors in particular are becoming increasingly popular: they bring light into the home, create an open feeling of space and look modern and elegant.

But when it comes to opening, a glass door is only as good as its fittings: These invisible heroes determine how quietly a door closes, how smoothly it opens and how long it performs its function. GRIFFWERK fittings are designed to stand the test of time - they are robust, corrosion-resistant and ensure a timeless look with a clear design.

What should you look out for when investing in a durable door?

  1. Material: High-quality metals such as stainless steel or anodized aluminium not only offer stability, but also an elegant appearance. The quality of a glass door also determines its longevity.
  2. Technology: Soft-close mechanisms, high-quality sliding door systems and maintenance-free hinges guarantee smooth, noiseless movement.
  3. Design: Stylish fittings and glass doors - whether clear, frosted or with filigree patterns - set subtle accents and make the door itself stand out.

Sustainably beautiful and functional

A door is more than just a passageway or utility object - it is a statement of design, quality and durability. Anyone who opts for high-quality glass doors and matching hardware is investing in the future of their home. After all, if a door closes somewhere, it will open again - as long as the fittings and materials are stylish and durable.
