Most of our brass coloured handles are solid brass with a protective clear lacquer, and so should match with other solid brass homewares. Read more about our materials and finishing processes.

If you’re uncertain, you can order a single items as a sample to check, then return it if it’s not suitable.

When shopping for cabinet knobs and pull handles, you’re able to select the length of screws which you’d like to accompany them. We offer M4 machine screws in lengths of 16mm to 45mm for most cabinet knobs, then 5mm to 45mm for most pull handles.

For reference, 25mm is our standard screw size.

If you need additional screws at a later stage, you can shop them here.

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, which can be combined in varying proportions to give it different machinable properties and beautiful tones. Brass does tarnish naturally with age, and this process can speed up if cleaned excessively or with corrosive cleaning products. The process can also speed up if brass is exposed to outdoor conditions like wind and rain.

Our solid brass handles are coated with a clear protective lacquer, however over time will still age naturally.
