The G1226 is engineered for permanence. Brass is an exceptionally durable material, renowned for its strength, corrosion resistance, and longevity. Unlike plated alternatives, this solid brass handle will never chip, peel, or lose its core integrity. This makes it an ideal choice for high-traffic, high-visibility entrances where the demands on hardware are at their highest. The durability of the brass ensures that the handle will not only last for generations but will also grow more beautiful with age, acquiring a unique character that cannot be replicated.
