American Metal Arts Studios Decorative Hardware

Decorative hardware looks the best when there is fine detail as well as high and low relief, much more than the products thatare made in the east, with a sand caste cheaper look. Because our process utilizes rubber molds that are flexible, we also have more liberty with unusual designs.

Normally we also put a heavy coat of lacquer in order to insure a lustrum finish. The attachment of hardware is sometimes problematic, but our factory employs several methods for attachment. The main method is with an insert that is made of brass that is inserted into our molds. This insert is threaded and allows a screw to attach the hardware. The second method utilizes magnets. Lastly, screws that protrude from the caste piece that can be fastened to nuts from the cabinet.
