Do polished brass finishes tarnish?

Some polished brass products are lacquered to help slow tarnishing. Unlacquered brass can develop a natural patina over time, especially in humid or coastal environments.

Use a soft cloth with mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For unlacquered brass, occasional polishing can restore shine.

Choosing the Right Polished Brass Bolt – Straight, Cranked, Flush and Espagnolette

Polished brass hardware has long been a favourite in period homes across the UK. Its high-gloss golden finish adds richness to wood and painted surfaces alike, especially in heritage interiors.

In this collection, you’ll find:

Straight bolts: Classic surface-mounted security bolts, ideal for cupboards, internal doors, and basic entry points.
Cranked bolts: Designed with an offset to fit frames that aren’t flush with the door, often used on outward-opening windows and doors.
Flush bolts: Neatly fitted into the edge of the door for a streamlined look — popular on internal double doors and French patio doors.
Espagnolette bolts: Full-height bolts that lock both the top and bottom of the door, often used in taller timber doors or French windows.

Polished brass isn’t just about looks — it’s also known for its durability and suitability for both painted and stained woodwork. Whether you're restoring a historic home or finishing off a classic design scheme, this collection provides both form and function.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do espagnolette bolts come in matching styles to other brass hardware?

Items must be returned within 30 days after receiving your order. Items must be returned in the same condition in which they were received, be unworn/unused, have any tags still attached, and include all the original packaging.

Will polished brass bolts tarnish over time?

Many of our polished brass bolts are coated with a protective lacquer designed to slow down tarnishing and maintain their shine. However, this lacquer can break down over time, especially in damp environments or areas with high humidity, such as coastal locations. Factors like frequent handling, air quality, and the use of certain cleaning chemicals can also accelerate this process. Once the lacquer deteriorates, the underlying brass may begin to tarnish or develop a pitted appearance. Regular maintenance and gentle cleaning with non-abrasive products can help extend the life and appearance of polished brass hardware.
