GENERAL

Whilst we don't have a showroom at present, we are pleased to offer a sample service so you can discover our luxury brass products in person. Find out more here.

We recommend a professional tradesman to help install your hardware. If this is not possible, each piece comes complete with screws so you can fix your hardware yourself. For rear fix hardware, simply measure your centre hole(s) accurately, drill your hole(s) and then screw your hardware in securely. Our handles are supplied with a M4 snapoff bolt so you will need to drill a 4.2mm hole for clearance. For face fix hardware, accurately mark the screw hole positions and drill a small pilot hole before fixing the handles. If you get stuck, please give us a call 0121 359 2111 and we’d be happy to help.

FINISHES

A lacquer is an organic coating that forms a protective layer between the brass and the environment to prevent the oxidation process and the finish changing over time. Brass naturally oxidises over time which can change the finish of your product.

A lacquer is an organic coating that forms a protective layer between the brass and the environment to prevent the oxidation process and the finish changing over time. The choice is based on personal preference.

Both lacquered and unlacquered are suitable. Lacquered finishes are most suitable in high-usage areas if you do not wish for the finish to change. Unlacquered finishes are equally suitable but please note, the finish will age and change over time.

Yes, all of our hardware is supplied with screws. If front facing screws are required, your screws will be supplied in a matching finish to your hardware. Hinges are the only item sold without screws. You can purchase them separately here.

Our samples are only available in our Polished brass unlacquered (PBUL) finish as this is the easiest for our team to refinish, making it the most economical and sustainable choice. You will have the option to add finish chips samples if you wish to see a different finish.

For lacquered finishes, we recommend the occasional use of a soft cloth. Abrasive cleaning products should never be used as they will escalate the speed in which the lacquer breaks down. For plated (unlacquered) finishes, we recommend the occasional use of a soft cloth and the use of a quality metal polish will help preserve the finish. For non-plated (unlacquered) finishes, we recommend the occasional use of a soft cloth and the use of a quality metal polish will help preserve the finish if highly polished. Our antique unlacquered finishes are designed to naturally oxidise overtime.
