Stainless steel, brass, bronze and zinc alloy are popular materials, as there are different levels of resiliency that are mostly just decorative with different amounts of texture. Some popular finishes of door lever handles are satin nickel, polished chrome, and matte black, as they can provide accommodations for the other fixtures/hardware in a space.
Lever handles have a wide range of functions, making them suitable for residential and commercial use. One common function is “passage” generally for doors that don’t need a lock, e.g. closet door or hallway door. The second function which can be identified as “privacy” has a lock on the inside, which is mostly used for bedrooms and bathrooms. The third function, “keyed entry” lever handles are on exterior doors and allow the part to be keyed so the door can be secured.
It is the versatility of the door lever and no disability to use the handle push or pull that has made it the standard for modern construction and design.
