Decorative door hardware is a special class  of door hardware that is produced to not only function well but is also crafted for exceptional appearance.

Most of the hardware in this classification is noted for being crafted with superior materials, usually with solid knobs and escutcheons, rather than stamped metal. The advantage afforded by the use of these materials and production methods is that finishes adhere better and last longer, details cast into the hardware remain crisp and fresh looking for a long time, and the feel of a solid brass knob or handle is really different from that of stamped metal.

As a group most of the hardware in this class is very well built, with an eye toward long lasting beauty, superior wear, and value retention.

There are styles, designs, functions and finishes available that will match almost any decor and/or usage requirement.
