Everything for a polished brass front door in one place: Heritage Brass door knockers, letterboxes and interior letter flaps, centre door knobs, bell pushes, a door chain and brass house numbers and letters, all made by M.Marcus in solid brass with a clear lacquer. Choose urn, lion head, ring, doctors or slim knockers, gravity and reeded letter plates, and 2 inch or 3 inch numerals to suit the door.

Finish the Front Door

Add matching escutcheons and polished brass door pull handles, hang the door on polished brass hinges, and fit a lock from the York Security polished brass range. For the inside of the house see all polished brass door furniture.

Caring for Brass on an Outside Door

Polished brass is protected by a clear lacquer, which breaks down sooner outdoors, particularly in coastal areas and polluted environments. Wipe off dirt with a non-abrasive cloth, apply a light coat of non-abrasive wax, lightly oil the springs on knockers and letterboxes, and never use metal cleaners or aerosol sprays. The life of the lacquer cannot be guaranteed. Near the sea, consider unlacquered brass or Grade 316 marine stainless steel instead.

Polished Brass Front Door Questions

What front door furniture do I need?

Most front doors have a door knocker, a letterbox, house numbers and either a centre door knob or a pull handle. Many also add a bell push and a key escutcheon.

Is polished brass front door furniture suitable near the sea?

The lacquer breaks down much sooner in coastal areas. For front doors near the sea we recommend Grade 316 marine stainless steel or unlacquered brass, which can be polished back.
