door handles
Knobs and levers
Door handles are the hardware used to open and close doors—the levers, knobs, or bars you grip and turn or push.
The term covers both functional mechanisms and decorative fixtures: The brass door handles matched the vintage aesthetic.
In automotive contexts, door handles specifically mean the exterior or interior grips for opening car doors.
