Brass door handle – a noble material for your interior
The brass door handle is considered a true classic among door accessories. Brass handles and knobs adapt perfectly to contemporary styles, such as modern or Scandinavian, as well as to vintage, antique, classic and industrial styles. Handle manufacturers (for front doors or furniture) attach great importance to the finish: each brass handle model is designed to be original and timeless.
A design brass door handle completed with its escutcheon and key lock is a decorative addition not only for the door, but also for the entire interior of the home.
What is the difference between the material and the bronze-coloured brass finish?
The manufacturing material should not be confused with the brass finish, which tends towards the golden bronze of a door handle.
Brass, the primary material for a design door handle
Brass is an alloy of zinc and copper that makes it possible to create ultra-design solid door handles at affordable prices. Just like iron or stainless steel, brass is an ultra-resistant material well suited to the everyday use of a door handle.
Brass, a very design copper-toned finish
Door handles with a brass finish have the appearance and golden bronze colour of brass, which is not, however, their manufacturing material. Designers often use zamak (an alloy of zinc, aluminium, copper and magnesium) to design brass-finish handles. A durable material because it is infinitely recyclable, zamak is an entry-level material that has the advantage of producing design door handles at a very affordable price.
The advantages of the brass door handle
Brass is an ideal material for crafting door handles in a variety of shapes and finishes.
A quality material for durable handles
Brass is the preferred material for crafting quality door handles. A brass handle is distinguished by its colour, reminiscent of the golden patina of bronze, which perfectly meets the codes of elegance. This modern alloy offers all the qualities in terms of security (for your front door or windows) and durability of your interior handles. Design finish and durability of your pair of handles or knobs guaranteed with brass!
Other door handle materials come close to the qualities of brass: iron and bronze are chosen for classic products, while zamak is used to design interior handles in all styles. Stainless steel, nylon and aluminium are more suited to modern handles. Solid wood is dedicated to Scandinavian-style handles. Finally, door knobs or furniture and drawer knobs, historically offered in white porcelain or painted ceramic, are also available in iron, bronze, zamak and of course brass. In short, a brass door handle is a quality handle!
The shape of interior brass door handles
Solid brass makes it possible to design all types of interior handles:
- Brass door handles on round plate, square plate, rectangular plate and even on concealed plate.
- Handles with a lock escutcheon (key or thumb-turn) to form a very design decorative pair
- Brass door knobs
- Recessed handles (ref. recessed cup handle) for pocket sliding doors
- Brass pull handles (ref. bâton de maréchal) for shop entrances or swing doors in public spaces. Like a door knob, a pull handle makes it possible to create a complete decorative look: a handle mounted vertically on a wooden door or a glass door, and the same handle horizontally on your furniture drawer, kitchen drawer, or on the doors of your wardrobes.
- A brass window handle in the same design as the door handle
- Furniture knobs: decorative hardware now offers complete ranges of accessories to dress doors and furniture with handles or knobs in matching finishes. The door and the piece of furniture become excellent decorative features!
- Exterior door handles (brass thus joins iron, aluminium and stainless steel for exterior accessories and exterior door hardware)
The finish of brass door handles
Polished brass finish handle or gold handle?
The appearance of a door handle plays an undeniable role in the overall style of a product. The natural finish of brass varies from gold to bronze. Polished brass gives your door a vintage character thanks to its raw copper colour. The satin brass finish offers beautifully golden handles.
The coloured finish of a brass handle
Like other materials (iron, steel, aluminium or zamak), brass allows designers to offer brass handles in many colours: anthracite grey, satin titanium, brushed nickel, satin gold or polished gold, matt black brass or polished black, satin chrome, polished chrome, lacquered white or even bronze. The brass door handle is coated with layers of coloured lacquer that preserve its design finish from day one.
How to choose the right brass door handle?
Whatever brass handle model you choose (door handle on plate, window espagnolette, window handle on vertical plate, furniture door knob, front door handle or any other door), the brass door handle is the perfect product to boost your interior décor.
The interior brass handle: a powerful decorative accessory
Creating a personalised atmosphere requires paying careful attention to every detail. It is important to choose door hardware in keeping with the other elements of your furniture: matching door handles to those of your rustic furniture, your antique wardrobe, cupboard door knobs, drawer handles...
Make sure you choose door handles suited to the room in question. A handle with a finger plate is ideal for your kitchen. A vintage handle with a key lock escutcheon is better suited to an office door. An aged brass knob can be installed on a living room door or on the drawer of a white piece of furniture. The recessed brass handle with polished nickel finish enhances the industrial look of a sliding door in the living area.
A door handle is not limited solely to its function of opening and closing doors! It becomes an indispensable decorative accessory for your home's décor.
How to use solid brass for your decorating style?
The brass door handle is made to enhance the style of your interior décor.
You will find brass handles suited to all decorating styles, from classic to futuristic. The polished chrome finish suits a contemporary kitchen. The matt black finish handle integrates beautifully into a modern interior, while the pull handle with polished brass finish is perfect on a glass door.
A "turnkey" product: door handles can be completed with their lock escutcheon with key lock or thumb-turn system. For bathrooms, an escutcheon with an integrated bolt will replace the key. These escutcheons with locks, offered in the same design and finish as the handle, serve a decorative function as much as a security function.

The brass door handle or knob is an easy product to adopt.

How to install a brass door handle?
Fitting a door handle is a quick and easy task! You simply need to assemble the few components that make up the door handle (plate, fixing screws, escutcheon, spindle…). For a handle on a longitudinal plate, you will need to measure the centre distance or the length of the spindle. Fitting handles on a plate, with or without a lock escutcheon, takes only a few moments.
You may need to call a locksmith if you need to install more complex door hardware such as a cylinder lock system added to the wooden leaf of your front door, such as a cylinder lock, a thumb-turn system or a multi-point lock for an armoured door… To install a mortise lock (recessed), you will need to drill a hole in the wooden door. For a surface-mounted lock, you must carefully follow the instructions in the fitting guide provided upon delivery of the product.
A door handle on its own or with its lock escutcheon is easy to install on your door. A screwdriver and a few turns of the wrist to tighten the fixing screws in their respective holes are all you need to enjoy the decorative result of your design handle in just a few minutes!

Let yourself be charmed by a modern knob or a pair of vintage handles offered at attractive prices! You can even complete the product with its escutcheon with lock to secure the room, but above all to create a decorative pair with a sleek design! Remember to harmonise your décor by adding a beautiful brass furniture handle and knob!
