Product Info & Taking Care of your Uptown Handles

What is Electroplating?
Electroplating on brass is a process of depositing a thin layer of a different metal onto a brass object using an electric current.
What is PVD?
PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating is a high-tech vacuum coating process that applies an ultra-thin, durable film of material onto a surface to improve its hardness, wear resistance and appearance.
How to take care of your Uptown Handles?
To keep your premium door hardware looking beautiful and functioning at its best, please follow these simple guidelines.
Always Choose a Professional Installer
Installing brass hardware requires precision. Incorrect drilling, over-tightening or misalignment can damage the internal thread, chip your door or mark the handle. We strongly recommend using a qualified installer to ensure your handles are fitted safely and securely.
No Water. No Chemicals.
Brass should not be cleaned with detergents, polishes, sprays, or any abrasive products. Even water can affect the finish.
For everyday care, simply use a dry, soft, dust-free cloth. This helps preserve the natural beauty and long-term appearance of your handles.
Consider Their Environment
Like any premium material, brass can be affected by harsh conditions. Direct sunlight, humidity, or coastal air may alter the appearance of handles over time. Choosing the right location and caring for them regularly will help maintain their premium finish.
Check Fixings Periodically
Daily use may loosen screws slightly. A gentle tighten with the correct tool will keep everything secure. Avoid over tightening.
Protect Your Walls and Doors
Using a door stopper helps prevent the handle or lever from striking walls or furniture, avoiding unnecessary marks or stress on the mechanism.
