As an island nation, there is an undeniable, almost instinctive pull that draws us to the sea.
Our Cove collection draws inspiration from the stunning diversity of the British coastline, from the towering white chalk cliffs of Dover to the breathtaking Scottish Highlands and Cornwall's secluded coves.
Capturing the rugged, natural beauty of the uncomplicated pebble, we have strived to embrace its simplistic form, using traditional hand-casting methods to create a texture that is unique on each piece we make.
Stainless steel roses with sealed ball bearings, for optimum performance. The bearing rose to bring smooth, positive and flawless operation while addressing all the common door knob issues. The unique bearing rose is our preferred option to be used with all door knobs.
BASIC ROSE
Flat aluminium rose, that may have to be used in some situations where the Grip Tight, Self-centring, Sprung Bearing Inner-Rose System cannot be accommodated, for example, thin metal doors. This rose option is not our preferred rose to supply with lever handles or door knobs, it does not offer any of the properties and or performance of the grip tight or sprung rose designs, and operation of the handles are purely down to the strength of the lock and highly accurate installation.
FIXED ROSE
Stainless steel roses with TIG-welded fixed spindles. A highly durable fixed rose for use where a lever handle or door knob is not required to turn, or rotate but is needed to be installed in a push/pull application, e.g. when used in conjunction with a magnetic catch on a cupboard door.
HSTO BEARING ROSE
Stainless steel single sided rose with TIG welded spindle with bearing for smooth operation, designed for door knobs. The bearing rose brings smooth, positive and flawless operation while addressing all the common door knob issues. To be operated from one side of the door by the use of a single door knob.
Finish Types
If you're wondering which finish type to select, here's the key difference: living finishes gently patinate and change over time, ageing gracefully, whilst ageless finishes are either naturally unchanging, or boast a protective ceramic coating which mean the finish stays consistent.
