The changing landscape of Lower Shotover, embraced by rolling slopes, offers a serene space where architecture meets nature. Designed by Bureaux, this project features our solid bronze straight pull handle with a custom-machined plate and door stop. Crafted to endure, the handle integrates seamlessly with the architecture, anchoring the space with timeless strength and elegance.

Technical
Please choose the appropriate fixing. Either a M10 x 70mm stainless steel threaded rod which can be used for epoxy fixing into tile and concrete. Or a 12g x 1 ½ timber screw, which is suitable for installation into timber, alternatively this can be used with a masonry plug for tile or concrete installation.
Key Features:
Made to Order: Our door handles are made to order. Leadtime: 12-14 weeks, however please contact us as we do sometimes have product in stock.
A ‘Living’ Finish: We celebrate the authentic patina of solid bronze. To enhance the natural ageing process, we apply a light patina that will respond to its environment and age over time. We don’t apply artificial 'finishes.’ Instead we embrace the natural, rumbled state of silicon bronze.
Unique Variations: Our products are cast in bronze. Each item will have its own character telling the story of its alchemy. From molten metal to machining and hand finishing, rather than concealing the cast texture, we embrace it.

Our products are crafted from silicon bronze, a material celebrated for its strength, resilience, and timeless appeal. As a noble metal, silicon bronze offers remarkable durability; however, when paired with dissimilar metals like aluminum, it can occasionally result in galvanic corrosion if not installed properly.
To ensure the longevity of your hardware and prevent potential corrosion, we recommend the following tips:Use separation tools: Install nylon or rubber washers between different metals to minimise direct contact.
Apply protective coatings: Use lanolin-based grease or similar products on all contact surfaces.
Regular maintenance: Especially in coastal or high-humidity environments, periodic checks and care will help preserve your hardware's performance and beauty.

Our cast bronze Push Plates are a beautiful expression of cast bronze and are an excellent solution if you want to have a Pull Handle on the exterior side of the door only. The push plate effectively hides the screws from the pull handle. Push plates come in three sizes and are supplied with silicon bronze timber screws.
