What is Dark Bronze architectural hardware?

Dark Bronze architectural hardware is door and building ironmongery finished in a deep bronze tone, commonly used for door handles, knobs and complementary fittings to create a coordinated look.

Do Dark Bronze door handles suit modern interiors?

Yes. Dark Bronze works well in modern interiors when paired with clean door designs, neutral colours and natural materials, offering a warmer alternative to matte black.

Should I choose handles on roses or backplates?

Handles on roses give a minimal, modern appearance, while backplates are useful for replacing existing door furniture, covering previous holes, and offering a more traditional look.

Are Dark Bronze knobs suitable for internal doors?

Yes. Dark Bronze mortice and rim knobs are popular for internal doors, especially in period properties or for creating a classic statement style.

How do I look after Dark Bronze ironmongery?

Use a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. Regular gentle cleaning helps maintain the finish and appearance.

Why choose a Dark Bronze finish?

Timeless style: suits period properties, heritage décor, and modern rustic interiors
Coordinated look: easier to match handles, knobs, latches, and accessories in one finish
Practical choice: darker tones can help reduce the appearance of day-to-day marks versus brighter polished finishes

Choosing the right hardware

For the best fit, consider your door type (internal or external), your existing prep (backplate footprint or rose size), and your lock type (latch, bathroom, or keyed). If you’re refreshing multiple rooms, stick to one handle style and vary only the function to keep everything consistent.

Care & maintenance

To keep dark bronze looking its best, wipe with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners. If you’re fitting hardware in high-use areas, choosing matching accessories can help maintain a uniform look over time.

We supply dark bronze hardware across the UK, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow and beyond, with fast delivery options available.
