Manukard Gard | Mason and Wales
Located in New Zealand’s South Island, surrounded by dramatic mountainscapes, this home by Mason and Wales is grounded in a palette that speaks to its surroundings—schist stone, timber, and solid bronze.
This whole-home hardware solution complements the architectural vision, unifying every space with timeless materiality and thoughtful detail. The design begins at the entry door, where our Offset Pull Handle makes a tactile statement. Inside, the range continues with Straight Pulls and Lever Handles, while interior details are elevated with Peggy Hooks, Hand-Rail Brackets, and Cabinetry Knobs, offering both functionality and a refined finish to bespoke joinery.
Our Straight Pull range embodies a minimalist design language, combining clean lines with the rich texture of cast bronze. Over time, the solid bronze develops its patina, interacting harmoniously with the natural materials of stone and timber. Together, these elements settle into their environment, deepening their connection to the home’s evolving story.

Fixing: Our lever handles come as a back to back pair unless otherwise specified.

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.
