    Iron—Iron hand wheels are durable.
    Aluminum—Aluminum hand wheels have mild corrosion resistance, are lightweight, and are nonmagnetic.
    Required Chain—The chain listed is designed for use with these chain wheels—do not substitute other chain. The chain that's not rated with a capacity is for opening, but not supporting, the weight of a door—use it on doors that have independent supports.
