Does satin brass show fingerprints?

Satin brass generally shows fingerprints less than polished brass because the brushed texture helps disguise marks. Regular wiping with a soft cloth keeps it looking its best.

How do I match satin brass door handles with other hardware?

For the most consistent finish, match your door handles, knobs, window furniture and cabinet pulls from the same range or manufacturer where possible, as satin brass tones can vary slightly between brands.

What should I check before ordering satin brass door handles on backplates?

Check whether the door is latch, lock or bathroom function, confirm your required centres (such as keyhole or bathroom turn), and verify door thickness and spindle size so the handle set fits correctly.

How do I clean and maintain satin brass hardware?

Use a soft cloth and mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemicals, which can damage protective coatings and affect the finish.
