Matt black vs antique brass: which finish?
Getting the details right is what separates a door that just works from one that feels considered. In this guide we walk through the key decisions, the common mistakes, and our team’s picks.
What to look for
Start with the finish and the fixing type, then confirm the sizes against your doors. A few minutes measuring saves a return later.
- Check the backset and spindle length
- Match the finish across handles, hinges and locks
- Confirm fire ratings if it is a fire door
