Hello happy people! Well I have decided to write a review on Brass Door Handles, now you may think this is an easy one to write about, but it's not.

Brass door handles are used internally and externally within dwellings and commercial buildings. Brass door handles range from many different uses, this could be lever handles, lever lock plate handles, lever handles with escutcheons, Lever latch handles, knob handle furniture, pull handles, etc, etc. The list goes on and on.

The real issue when choosing ironmongery is the finish of the material being used. As this review is about Brass door handles you think that was end of what type of finish you can have, but you are wrong, there are many types of finishes you can have of brass, this ranges from:-

• Polished Brass
• Gun Metal Brass
• Standard Brass
• Brass Anodised

Design of Brass door handles can be anything you want. Most ironmongery companies can offer your own personal design part, where you the client can actually design what you want, though this can be quiet expensive. Most Ironmongery companies and the likes of Homebase, B&Q and others like that offer standard design ranges and door handles you would probably find in a hospital or public place. Standard off the shelf door handles are not very expensive and would only cost less than a fiver. The upper part of the market can set you back about £15.00 / per set.

At the end of the day it all depends what meets your requirements and your needs.

If you want to buy from a respectable source and find the best manufacturers, go to the web site of " The Guild of Architectural Ironmongers" this organisation will recommend ironmongery companies who have been approved by them and have been given membership because of the service, price and product they offer.

Other alternatives are SSA finish, Satin Chrome, Stainless Steel & Plastic. All very good finishes and it all depends were you are putting them and on what type of door.

Hoped you enjoyed the review - Karl
