Material is a key consideration when purchasing door hardware, as it impacts durability, appearance, and resistance to wear or corrosion. High-quality metals such as aluminum, stainless steel, brass, and die-cast zinc are commonly used for their strength and longevity. Choosing the right material depends on your environment—aluminum and stainless steel offer rust resistance for humid areas, while brass and zinc provide aesthetic and functional benefits. For example, the KV 989 ALUM, Aluminum Door Latch leverages aluminum for lightweight durability, while the Sugatsune DSD Floor Mount Door Stop uses stainless steel for extra robustness. A variety of material options across products allows you to select the best fit for your specific needs.
