Cabinet Hardware

Due to the hand-made of our products, no two are exactly alike and possess their own individual characteristics. Just like the people who produce them, and those who acquire them.

Bear Creek Bronze cabinet hardware is produced using certified alloys obtained from domestic sources. The three alloys used are a specific silicon-bronze (containing approximately 90% copper, 5% zinc and 5% silicon), a high grade copper alloy (containing around 94% copper, 2% tin and 4% zinc), and our nickel appearing white bronze (containing approximately 60% copper, 5% nickel, 10% manganese and 25% zinc).

Bear Creek Bronze hardware is ground by hand then placed in a shot-blast machine to blend the grind marks. Following this process, the hardware along with special polishing media and water are loaded into a large tumbling machine to achieve a beautiful burnished surface.

After tumbling the cabinet hardware for an extended amount of time, care is taken to remove the hardware from the water quickly or the natural patina process will begin to occur.

The cabinet hardware is then placed in a heated centrifuge for drying. Once these operations are complete, the knobs and pulls are ready for machining. We drill and tap the pieces "dry" without the use of cutting fluids or lubricants to prevent discoloration.

Our cabinet hardware is available without clear-coat or lacquer in order to allow the natural process of aging or with our rich clear-coated oil rubbed bronze finish. Whichever finish you select, there is no doubt that our cabinet hardware will add a distinctive and captivating touch to your home.
