Why inspect door handles before shipment?
Pre-shipment inspection for door handles helps detect defects like cosmetic scratches, dimension errors, stuck operation and locking failure before delivery. As critical hardware for doors and windows, faulty door handles will lead to returned goods, rework cost at destination and order deductions once shipped overseas, hurting brand reputation. We check function, surface finish and accessories to meet order requirements, reduce after-sales disputes and guarantee delivery quality.
