ᐅ Idea for the Front Door Handle

Hello everyone,

In our case, the angled wall (115mm (4.5 inches) sand-lime brick with a reinforced concrete strip on top) was unfortunately not built with the slight offset shown in the plans, but directly against the door jamb:

The door opens 90°, but it’s quite tight (though a bit of plaster will come off).

Some ideas would be to choose a less protruding handle (this is still the construction door) and/or to create a recess or small niche in the wall (but how? – the electrician has a tool for hollow core drilling for sockets, I can’t think of anything else). Possibly even make several niches and put decorations in them?
Or is this all a bad idea and I should just choose the narrower handle?

Looking forward to your feedback – design isn’t exactly my strong suit :\

In my opinion, you are looking for a solution in the wrong place.

Why not correct the reveal? Whoever builds it incorrectly has to fix the defect...

You can’t really fix the reveal—you can’t just build onto it... otherwise, there won’t be any joint offset, and the front door would tilt outwards 😉

Demolishing the wall is not an option for us either – even if we leave everything as it is, we wouldn’t have any serious issues.

It’s just an idea to optimize the whole thing a bit and maybe add a nice visual accent.

Simple solution: Door stopper?

If the door only opens to 85° that should be sufficient in 99.99% of all cases.

Well, using wall anchors or some kind of frame should do the trick, but that shouldn’t be a problem for you, right?

A slim handle and door stopper is definitely an option.

I was just wondering if anyone has ever seen something like this with recesses in the wall. We have that in our hospital – but there it looks like bedpans, which isn’t very appealing 😀
