Which Fork Handle Material Is More Durable?  

Though small, handles are critical hardware components that ensure the smooth operation of doors and windows. So, what exactly are fork handles? Where are they used? What materials are available, and how do we choose the most durable one? Today, 3H's team breaks it down for you!  

A fork handle is an operating device for opening/closing doors and windows. By rotating or flipping the handle, it drives an internal fork mechanism to engage/disengage locking points, facilitating access and ventilation control. Widely used in aluminum alloy, PVC, and other doors/windows, it is essential for both functionality and security.  

Common Fork Handle Materials  

1. Zinc Alloy  

- Pros: Excellent casting properties allow intricate designs; cost-effective and widely available.  

- Cons: Lower strength and corrosion resistance. Prone to oxidation/rust in humid or harsh environments, reducing lifespan.  

2. Aluminum Alloy  

- Pros: Lightweight, decent strength, corrosion-resistant, and aesthetically versatile with diverse surface treatments.  

- Cons: Less hard and wear-resistant than stainless steel.  

3. Stainless Steel  

- Pros: Exceptional corrosion resistance, high strength, and rust/deformation resistance. Withstands harsh conditions and heavy impact, ensuring long-term durability and safety.

How to Choose?  

Consider these factors:  

- Zinc Alloy: Ideal for dry, mild environments where budget is a priority.  

- Aluminum Alloy: Best for aesthetics and lightweight needs in non-extreme conditions.  

- Stainless Steel: The top choice for coastal/humid/salt-prone areas or when maximum security and longevity are critical.  

Conclusion  

Each material has its strengths and limitations. Stainless steel stands out as the most durable option for demanding environments. Base your choice on actual usage conditions, budget, and security needs to ensure long-term reliability.
