About Oil Rubbed Bronze Door Hardware

Cabinet door hardware can vary from cabinet knobs, cabinet pulls, to hinges and finishes.

Cabinets can mean two separate sections in your kitchen. Cabinet refers to cupboards, and drawers are usually located below those. Both sections can use the same product or can be enhanced with opposite hardware.

Most commonly cupboards or cabinet doors will be enhanced with knobs to identify which way to door swings and the knob allows access from all gripping angels. While the cabinet drawers below will be enhanced with pulls which allow an easy open especially drawers will heavy loads.









However the decision is yours. Which is the best part.

Rocky Mountain Hardware                                                                    

Rocky Mountain Hardware uses only the highest quality bronze to achieve their unique designs. Silicon and white bronze are both alloys. Silicon bronze contains copper, silicon, and zinc creating a coppery-gold color. White bronze is composed of copper, manganese, nickel, and zinc producing a silver color.












Rocky Mountain Hardware products let the deep beauty of bronze speak for itself. The hand-applied patinas enhance the hues of bronze creating an aged appearance. The photos shown here give a close representation of the true appearance of these patinas, however, the various elements of time, touch, and climate work together with the bronze and the patina to create a unique hue. Each piece, then, distinctly reflects its surroundings.

A Latch for a Door:












When thinking of a latch for a door one might think of many variations because a latch is a type of fastener or mechanism used to join two doors or other objects and surfaces.

A latch often differs from a locking mechanism which is intended for higher security whereas a latch is meant more for security and convenience.

Latches range in complexity from flexible one piece flat springs of metal or plastic, such as are used to keep blow molded plastic power tool cases closed, to multi-point cammed latches used to keep large doors closed.

SPEAKEASYS                                                                                                              

HISTORY:

Prohibition began in the early 1900's which was a law that restricted the sale of, the transportation and drinking of alcohol. Many agreed with the law and many others wanted the freedom and choice to decide on their own restrictions. 

Though the Volstead Act prohibited the sale of alcohol, it did little to enforce the law. The illegal production and distribution of liquor, or bootlegging, became rampant, and the national government did not have the means or desire to enforce every border, lake, river, and speakeasy in America.

The speakeasy was introduced to doors around the nation because the invention of the peep hole did not exist. The speakeasy was an easy way for those in the illegal clubs to see who was entering without actually letting them enter and also to be protected from the individual knocking on the door in case it was someone who wanted to force their way in. 

The term comes from a patron’s manner of ordering an alcoholic drink without raising suspicion so bartenders would tell patrons to be quiet and "speak easy".

PRESENT TIMES:
 
The products we have now which share the same name Speakeasy, do not serve the same purpose and have actually become popular among residential and commercial buildings. The Modern Speakeasy has a classic look that has been introduced to this age for many purposes.

*Useful for airflow throughout the home
 
*Adds architectural design

*Also adds character to the home

*Can be used as a replacement to the peep hole.

Single? or Double?                                                                                   

What do they mean by a single or double cylinder? We're not talking about deadbolts.

Cylinder options are most common on entrysets for front doors or exterior facing doors. When specifying which type of cylinder you prefer there are a few things to keep in mind.



A Single cylinder is the most common lock, aside from deadbolts, with a keyed lock on the exterior and a small decorative latch on the interior of the door. They are very functional and user-friendly.




Click Here








Double cylinders have pros and cons to their use. Typically with entry doors there are side lights, or panes of glass that accompany the door and add beautiful natural light. However these windows offer access points for robbers who break the glass and unlock the door from the inside. The double cylinder prevents this access by requiring a key on either side to lock or unlock the door. The downside to this method is in emergencies, one does not want to search for a key.
