Lever Handle Installation & Replacement
Detailed Description
Round Door Knobs Make Simple Tasks Difficult — Lever Handles Don’t
Round door knobs require gripping and turning — a motion that becomes progressively more difficult for Toronto & GTA residents managing arthritis, limited grip strength, hand injuries, or the challenges that come with aging. Lever handles require pressing down — a motion that can be performed with a fist, an elbow, or even a forearm when hands are full. The difference in daily ease of use is substantial, and for family members in Toronto & GTA homes dealing with grip limitations, the difference between a lever handle and a knob is often the difference between independent access and needing help. Converting to lever handles is one of the most practical and affordable accessibility improvements available.
At CNG Contracting, lever handle installation in Toronto & GTA replaces door knobs and round handles throughout your home with lever-style hardware that works for every family member. Properly fitted to the existing door prep, aligned with the latch, and operating smoothly from the first day.
Lever Handle Installation in Toronto & GTA Homes
- Direct Replacement: Most Toronto & GTA home door hardware uses standard backset and bore hole configurations — lever sets replace knobs directly without modification in the majority of cases
- Latch Alignment: New lever hardware checked for proper latch engagement with the existing strike plate — lever sets with different geometry than the original knob occasionally need minor adjustment
- Passage, Privacy, and Entry Functions: Lever sets in the correct function for each door — passage levers for interior doors, privacy with interior lock for bathrooms, keyed entry or deadbolt coordination at exterior doors
- Finish Consistency: We advise on consistent finish selection across your Toronto & GTA home so hardware reads as coordinated rather than mixed

Why is a Technical Visit necessary?
Replacing door hardware seems simple until you realize not all doors are "prepped" the same way. Older doors might have a smaller bore hole that modern levers won't fit into, or the "strike plate" on the door frame might be a different shape (round corner vs. square corner), preventing the door from latching. Our assessment verifies your door thickness, backset measurement, and jamb preparation to ensure the new handles fit perfectly without leaving ugly gaps or loose latches.
