Matt black is a popular colour choice for modern-style homes. There are matt black kitchen appliances, taps and sinks, and now, matt black door hardware to match this style choice. The colour is great for that industrial stripped-back look, as it’s more masculine and sophisticated compared to the white or standard chrome finish.
In this article, we’ll discuss a few options to help you upgrade your door hardware to match the rest of your house or kitchen.
The Lockwood Flush Pull matt black sliding door handle is a great choice for sliding and cavity doors around the home. The handle is designed to sit flush with the door face which softens the overall aesthetics.
For your front door, you probably want a nice large masculine handle that matches your timber door. The Lockwood 143 Entrance Handle is the perfect option for your front door. It’s constructed using the finest materials, has a sleek matt black finish, and is quite long, so it can easily handle glass, aluminium and thick wooden doors.
Alternatively, if you’re going for a more modern look instead of that industrial inner-city style, you might opt for a mechanical entrance lockset. Which is great for home security with many different locking options. This handle is suitable for apartments and more modern living settings.
To complete the matt black look, you’ll want to change out your bedroom and bathroom handles with something a little more sophisticated. Lockwood offers the Element™ Leverset which comes equipped with a small door lock for home privacy and a 5-year finish guarantee.
A matt black door lock is going to be a great partner to all your fixed door handles. Most people will pair an entrance handle with a matte black deadbolt and deadlatch or night latch. These additions add a lot more to the security of your home.
For a more standard deadbolt, the Lockwood Symmetry 7107 Double Cylinder is a good option, it’s very unassuming yet still offers a high level of security. There is a premium version of this matt black deadbolt as well (Lockwood Paradigm® 005 Double Cylinder Deadbolt), which is available in round or square designs.
And if you’d like to partner your entrance handle with a deadlatch or night latch, we can recommend two options. The Lockwood 100 Nightlatch has a really elegant design with its smooth corners and brass latch. The Lockwood 001 Double Cylinder Deadlatch, on the other hand, is more boxy and modern with its innovative safety features. Looking for premium version which offers more safety features? Don’t miss out on newly released Latching Paradigm® 005 (Lockwood Latching Paradigm 005 | LOCKWOOD (lockweb.com.au)). It comes with contemporary styling and can be combined with any entrance handle.
