windows & doors PRODUCTS EDITORS' CHOICE Stainless-steel hardware Stainless-steel hardware: * No lacquer protective coating required * For all door-material types * Traditional bronze also available Hardware for the company's balanced doors is available in stainless steel. Manufactured with #316L alloy stainless steel, the material does not require a lacquer protective coating and is said to not tarnish over time. The hardware can be used on all door-material types: stainless steel for a matching finish, extruded aluminum (painted or anodized), wood, or bronze for a contrasting look. Traditional-colored bronze balanced hardware is still available for use on any door where a bronze finish is desired.
