Based on high demand from our customers, Coastal Group are pleased to announce two additions to the DURATIQUE™ range - A Ring Door Knocker & Curly Tail Door Handle.

Why DURATIQUE™ Hardware?

With our customers experiencing difficulty finding a durable antique hardware solution, DURATIQUE™ was designed by Coastal to outlast the door itself! Combining beautiful traditional styling with modern performance, DURATIQUE™ benefits include:

• Manufactured from Stainless Steel to prevent hardware failure
• Designed and built in the UK to maintain quality of product
• Precision CNC machined fixing points allow batch productions of doors

Coastal’s DURATIQUE™ black antique front door furniture includes Door Handles, Centre Door Knobs, Cylinder Pulls, Escutcheon, and Letter Plates. Our two newest additions to the DURATIQUE range provide customers with even more choice to create a stunning traditional finish on your doors.

CO7300C DURATIQUE™ Curly Tail Door Handle

The DURATIQUE™ Curly Tail Door Handle is a stylish black antique door handle suitable for multipoint door locks and comes with euro profile cut-out.

Black antique door handles have a reputation for a number of performance issues including handles drooping and rattling spindles. In fact, we often hear of customers refusing to fit black antique hardware altogether as it simply lets down their door.

To avoid such issues, the Curly Tail Door Handle is manufactured using a high quality dual sprung mechanism and spindle. This ensures the handle does not droop or rattle; it provides a positive action and returns the handle consistently to its original position.

To prove the handle’s longevity, it has been durability tested to BS EN 12217:2003 – 200,000 Cycles.

For door and window manufacturers, finding matching hardware solutions that maintain a consistent aesthetic across a property can be extremely difficult. Coastal’s Black Antique Suited Hardware Solution allows you to match door and window hardware. The Curly Tail Door Handle Can be paired with our Curly Tail Espagnolette Window Handle to maintain a traditional look on both doors and windows.

DKB225 DURATIQUE™ Ring Door Knocker

This heavy duty black antique ring door knocker made from Stainless Steel will enhance the front door of any property, especially in adding character to traditional, older style settings.

The ring door knocker features a striker plate and also comes with bolt-through security fixings and secret fix option.

Traditional antique door furniture is made from Malleable Iron, where over time the coating flakes off and the malleable iron base material begins to corrode, causing brown rust streaks to occur within months, spoiling your new door. Coastal make the DURATIQUE™ range using a Stainless Steel base material and apply a specialist topcoat to ensure the best protection against corrosion, even in coastal locations.

Is DURATIQUE™ Right for you?

If you’re after a low-cost iron based antique hardware solution, DURATIQUE is not the product for you.

HOWEVER, if you’re looking for a hardware solution that will enhance the quality of your doors and windows for years to come and avoid unnecessary work later down the line through costly replacement and site callouts, look no further than DURATIQUE™.

Doors are high ticket items that involve a lot of time and effort in manufacture, we create external hardware solutions that don’t let them down. We believe that whilst Iron based products are very suitable for internal use, using them for external projects can cause you a number of problems resulting in corroding or failing hardware.

DURATIQUE™ is manufactured using hard wearing, corrosion resistant Stainless Steel material. This allows us to fulfil one of our key Company Supporting Pillars ‘Ultimate Lasting Performance’, delivering long term value to all of our customers.
