Two year in development
8th October 2019

Door and window hardware supplier COASTAL GROUP has launched the new DuraTique antique hardware range.

The new range, the result of two years in development, is made from stainless steel and designed to provide a solution to the problem of rusting, corroded black antique hardware, and features multipoint door lock handles, letter-plates, door-knockers, cylinder pulls, centre door knobs and hinges.

Available in four finishes, Textured Matt Black, Textured Pewter, Textured Dark Bronze and Textured Autumn Bronze, the range has been salt spray tested to Class 5. The handles have been Cycle Tested to over 200,000 cycles and are double-sprung.

 “So many homeowners today still want the traditional looking hardware because it suits the design and style of their of their property. But with this traditional hardware comes traditional issues – namely – it’s highly likely to rust quickly and fail to operate properly in no time at all,” said MD Loren Jenner. 

“That often means going back to site to replace poor performing iron hardware – wasting valuable time and money. So problematic is it that many manufacturers are reluctant to fit this type of hardware in the first place, as they know how quickly it’s likely to fail. It’s very nature, with inconsistent fixing points, make it difficult to use along with CNC machinery on assembly lines. With the DuraTique handles we’ve solved that issue and CNC machined the handle backplates to ensure consistency of screw holes and handle centres.”
