Grandeur’s beauty is complemented by unmatched functionality. Easy and quick installation makes restoration or new construction efficient and exact. Solid brass knobs provide that “bank vault” feel missing in much of today’s hardware. Smooth, yet sturdy mechanics, achieved through demanding production tolerances, ensure silk-like operation. Simply turn a Grandeur® knob or lever, and feel the difference immediately.
Most companies use hollow brass knobs, zinc levers finished to look like brass, and glass instead of crystal. At Grandeur®, we use solid brass knobs, the highest quality forging brass in all of our hardware and lead-free crystal knobs. Using the highest quality materials enables us to produce the finest quality finished products.
Quality is linked to the manufacturing process. Each step in our process has been designed and refined to provide the best possible quality. We forge from solid brass to minimize defects. We hand-polish and hand-finish every piece to ensure that a piece made today will match those we make years from now.
At Grandeur®, we build our products to provide hundreds of thousands of worry-free cycles. So, while our locks are beautiful to look at, they also include features like spring-assisted knobs and levers, to make them robust. In addition, our locks are backed by the industry’s best lifetime warranty.

Although some lock manufacturers use cheaper cast or stamped brass, Grandeur® uses only hot-forged brass. This process yields a denser, stronger brass that can accurately display the intricacies of our beautiful, timeless designs. The photos below demonstrate (from left to right) how a solid brass billet becomes a finished piece of luxury hardware.
We begin with a billet of special forging brass. The metallurgy of this brass is specifically designed to create strength and detail.
The billet is cut and shaped to size in order to best prepare the brass for the pressing stage.
We heat the billet in an electric furnace until it’s red-hot. Then, we press (forge) it into a tool the shape of the hardware.
After the brass has cooled, we trim away the excess and recycle it into new billets. Each piece is inspected for even the most minute defects.
For consistency and quality, every piece is precision polished before being finished.
Each piece is sealed with a special lacquer to set the finish for life.
