The material of a decorative latch or bolt is crucial because it affects durability, appearance, and the product’s ability to withstand daily use and environmental factors. Steel and iron offer robust strength, ideal for security and long-lasting hardware, while brass provides both aesthetic appeal and natural corrosion resistance. The range available includes steel (as seen in the Acorn Manufacturing Arrowhead Cabinet Latch), iron (used in the Acorn Manufacturing 3" Forged Hook and Eye), and solid brass (featured in the Two Piece Latch with Lock and Handle). Choosing among these allows you to match your project’s need for strength, style, or resistance to tarnish—plus, with several materials available, you can easily find the best fit for your decor and application.
