Physical finish samples
Screens misrepresent metal. We send physical finish samples so a choice is made against the material itself, in the project's own light.
Architects & Consultants
Specify with confidence, then get exactly what was specified.
The gap between a specification and what arrives on site is where most hardware disappointment happens. We work from the drawing, produce a sample against it, and keep the approved sample as the production reference.
How We Support Specification
What a specifier actually needs from a manufacturer.
Not a brochure — dimensioned information, physical references and a straight answer on whether something can be made.
Dimensioned drawings
Drawings for the products you are specifying, covering handle length, rose diameter, projection, backset and spindle.
Hardware schedules
Help compiling the door schedule so bathroom, bedroom, main and service doors each get the correct function and set.
Bespoke development
Products developed to your drawing where the standard range does not carry the form or dimension you have designed.
Finish coordination
One finish carried across handles, bolts, stoppers, hooks and numerals so the interior metalwork reads as one family.
Honest feasibility
If a section, tolerance or finish combination is not producible, you hear it during design rather than during production.
Materials & Finishes
Explore the palette.
Material first, then finish. Request physical samples of any combination before it goes into a specification.
Antique Brass
Finish code AB
Swatches are on-screen approximations. Metal finishes vary with light, base material and batch — we send physical samples for approval before any project order.
Antique Brass. Warm, muted brass tone with a relieved, aged character.
Samples First
Approve the sample, then the sample becomes the standard.
Once a physical finish sample is approved it is retained as the production reference for the whole order, including later phases produced months apart.
Photography pending
Macro product photography — close detail showing finish, curves, edges and surface quality.
Raking light across the surface; no over-retouching, so the finish reads honestly.
Specification Enquiry
Send the drawing or the schedule.
Tell us the project, the direction you are working towards and where the standard range does not quite fit. We will respond with options and, where needed, a development route.
Specifying hardware for a project?
Send the drawings or the intended finish direction and we will send samples, drawings and a schedule you can put into the tender.
