Brass door handle - a noble material for your interior
The brass door handle is considered a great 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 designer brass door handle complemented by its rose with key lock is a decorative addition not only to the door, but also to 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 raw material for a designer door handle
Brass is an alloy of zinc and copper that makes it possible to craft ultra-design, solid door handles at affordable prices. Just like iron or stainless steel, brass is an extremely resistant material well suited to the everyday use of a door handle.
Brass, a very designer copper finish
Brass-finish door handles have the appearance and golden bronze colour of brass, which is however not their manufacturing material. Designers often use zamak (an alloy of zinc, aluminium, copper and magnesium) to design brass-finish handles. A durable material as it is infinitely recyclable, zamak is an entry-level material that has the advantage of producing designer door handles at a very affordable price.
The advantages of the brass door handle
Brass is an ideal material for crafting door handles in varied shapes and finishes.
A quality material for durable handles
Brass is the material of choice for manufacturing quality door handles. A brass handle is distinguished by its colour recalling the golden patina of bronze, perfectly in keeping with the codes of chic. This modern alloy offers all the qualities in terms of security (for your front door or windows) and durability of your interior handles. Guaranteed design finish and durability for your pair of handles or knobs with brass!
Other door handle materials share qualities with 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 generally reserved for 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 can be used to create all types of interior handles:
- Brass door handles on round plate, square plate, rectangular plate and even on concealed plate.
- Handles with closing roses (key or thumb-turn lock) to form a very designer decorative pair
- Brass door knobs
- Recessed handles (ref. recessed cup handle) for sliding pocket doors
- Brass pull handles (ref. bâton de maréchal) for shop entrance doors or swing doors in public spaces. Like the door knob, the pull handle allows you to create a complete decorative look: a handle mounted vertically on a wooden door or glass door, and the same handle mounted horizontally on the drawer of your furniture, kitchen drawer, or on the doors of your wardrobes.
- The brass window handle matching the design of 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 furniture become excellent decorative supports!
- Exterior door handles (brass thus joins iron, aluminium and stainless steel for exterior accessories and exterior door furniture)
The finish of brass door handles
Polished brass finish handle or gold handle?
The appearance of the door handle plays an undeniable role in the overall style. The natural finish of brass ranges from golden 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 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 the designer finish from day one.
How to choose the right brass door handle?
Whatever the brass handle model chosen (door handle on plate, casement fastener for windows, window handle on vertical plate, furniture door knob, front door handle or any other doors), the brass door handle is the perfect product to enhance your interior décor.
The interior brass handle: a powerful decorative accessory
Creating a personalised atmosphere requires attention to every detail. It is important to choose door hardware in keeping with the other elements of your furniture: matching door handles with those of your rustic furniture, your antique wardrobe, the door knobs of cupboards, drawers...
Make sure you choose door handles according to the room in question. A handle with an escutcheon plate is preferred for your kitchen. A vintage handle with a key lock rose is better suited to a study door. An aged brass knob can be installed on the living room door or on the drawer of a white piece of furniture. The recessed brass handle with polished nickel finish highlights the industrial look of the sliding door in the living area.
The door handle is not limited solely to its function of opening and closing doors! It becomes an indispensable decorative accessory for the decoration of your home.
How to use solid brass for your decorative style?
The brass door handle is made to enhance the style of your interior décor.
You will find brass handles suited to all decorative styles, from classic to futuristic. The polished chrome finish is ideal for a contemporary kitchen. The matt black finish handle integrates perfectly into a modern interior, while the polished brass finish pull handle is perfect on a glass door.
A "ready-to-use" product: door handles can be complemented with their closing rose with key lock or thumb-turn system. For bathrooms, a rose with an integrated bolt will replace the key. These roses with locks, offered in the same design and finish as the handle, serve both a decorative and a security function.

How to install a brass door handle?
Fitting a door handle is a quick and easy job! You simply need to assemble the few components that make up the door handle (plate, fixing screws, rose, square spindle…). For a handle on a longitudinal plate, you will need to measure the centre distance or the length of the square spindle. Mounting handles on plate, with or without a lock rose, takes only a few moments.
You may need to call a locksmith if you need to install more complex door furniture such as a cylinder lock system added to the wooden leaf of your front door, such as a cylinder lock, a turn-and-release system or a multi-point lock like 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 provided in the fitting guide supplied upon delivery of the product.
A door handle on its own, or with its lock rose, 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 it takes to enjoy the decorative effect of your designer handle in just a few minutes!
The brass door handle helps to enhance the style of your interior by offering quality products with varied finishes at a lower price. Solid brass allows handles of all styles to be crafted. There is a door handle for every ambiance: polished brass door handles for a classic interior, original handles without plate in chrome or matt black finish for a contemporary setting, luxury handles for every room in the home, modern knobs for furniture doors and drawers, or futuristic recessed handles for sliding doors.
Let yourself be charmed by a modern knob or a pair of vintage handles offered at attractive prices! You can even complement the product with its rose with lock to secure the room, and above all to create a decorative pair with a nickel design! Remember to harmonise your décor by adding a beautiful brass furniture handle and knob!
