Cleaning matte black hardware is simple. Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to preserve the finish.
Matte black finishes are designed to resist fingerprints and smudges better than glossy finishes. While no finish is completely immune to scratches, matte black hardware is more forgiving and easier to keep looking clean.
Yes! Our door hardware features durable, corrosion-resistant coatings that withstand outdoor conditions well, making them an ideal choice for front doors and other exterior applications.
While most matte black finishes are visually similar, slight variations in tone or texture can occur between brands. For a perfectly matched look, we recommend selecting all hardware from the same manufacturer or collection when possible, especially if the hardware will be in the same room (such as a privacy knob on a bedroom door and a dummy knob on the closet door).
