I am told by some of my much older colleagues (no names, but Kevin and John) that in years gone by door handle choice was right up there with that of choosing a Ford Model T. You could have a set, but it would be brass in colour and invariably Georgian in style.

When I joined ATF back in 2006, we had two show boards displaying door handles. Today we have 16 boards and that number is about to increase. Our customers now, quite rightly, spend a great deal of time ensuring their door furniture creates the aesthetic they desire for their homes. In response, we offer a kaleidoscope of decorative finishes in our door furniture range. From black door furniture to rustic pewter, through to nickel, chrome and bronze. And, of course, brass!

New to our range is a collection of dynamic levers in modern black finish all in striking different designs with the correct range of accessories to compliment your home.

It is one thing seeing a door handle on the internet, but it is much easier to make the correct choice when you see it in daylight and touch and feel what will be on your home’s doors for years to come. Please, pop in and see our selection of Black Door Furniture in the flesh and let us advise you as to what hinges, locks and latches you need to make your doors work perfectly. It’s what we do.
