The Object

Fine groovesbrass that deepens with use

The Kerteminde is turned from solid brass into a cylinder, then ribbed with fine parallel grooves along the body. The ribs add texture you feel rather than just see — a secure grip on the knob, a comfortable pull on the bar. The brass starts warm and bright; over months it deepens into a richer, more settled tone. Available as a knob, T-knob, or pull bar in five lengths.
Why you'll love it
  • Solid brass — develops natural patina with everyday use
  • Fine ribbed grooves — tactile grip and close-range visual depth
  • Knob, T-knob, and pull bar formats — cohesive across the room
  • Five pull-bar lengths from 11.8 cm to 27.8 cm
  • Works on kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, drawers, and vanities
Details

No wiring here — just careful measuring, drilling, and mounting. Mortice locks take a bit more patience than a simple knob.

Before you begin

  • Mounting — surface installation on doors, drawers, or cabinetry; check your product's dimensions for placement and drilling points

What you'll need

  • Screwdriver (Phillips and flathead), drill and drill bits, Allen key
  • Tape measure, pencil, level
  • Chisel (for mortice lock installation)
  • Screws and anchors, safety goggles

Step by step

  1. Cabinet hardware — mark drilling points — use a tape measure and pencil; a template helps for uniformity across multiple pieces.
  2. Cabinet hardware — drill holes — use a bit matched to the screw diameter, keeping the drill straight.
  3. Cabinet hardware — mount — insert screws from inside the cabinet or drawer, secure the hardware on the front face, and tighten without overtightening.
  4. Cabinet hardware — align and inspect — confirm straightness and spacing before fully securing.
  5. Thumb lock or dummy handle — confirm orientation — determine left- or right-hand door swing and adjust as needed.
  6. Thumb lock or dummy handle — mark installation height — typically 36–38 inches from the floor to the handle center; align the mounting plate.
  7. Thumb lock or dummy handle — drill and attach — drill pilot holes and secure the backplate and handle with the included screws. Dummy handles install directly, no latch mechanism.
  8. Thumb lock only — install the strike plate — mark the latch location on the door frame, chisel a recess if needed, and screw the strike plate in.
  9. Mortice lock — cut the mortice pocket — use a chisel and drill to create a cavity in the door edge, following the provided measurements.
  10. Mortice lock — insert the lock body — fit it into the cavity and attach through the faceplate with screws.
  11. Mortice lock — install the handle — align the spindle through the lock, attach handles on both sides, and tighten with a screwdriver or Allen key.
  12. Mortice lock — install the cylinder (if applicable) — insert the key cylinder and secure with the cylinder screw from the door edge.
  13. Mortice lock — mount the strike plate — align with the latch mechanism and secure to the door frame.

Good to know

  • Double-check measurements before drilling.
  • Use a level for consistent alignment across multiple units.
  • If you're unfamiliar with mortice installation, consult a locksmith or professional.
  • Make sure all moving parts operate smoothly before final tightening.
  • Dummy handles are decorative or pull-only — they don't engage latches or locks.

The making

Turned from solid brassgrooves cut after

The cylinder is machined from a solid brass billet, then the grooves are cut in a secondary pass — fine, even lines that run the length of the pull. Nothing is cast thin; the weight when you hold it confirms the material. The bronze-toned finish is factory-applied but will shift over time toward the warmer tones of unlacquered brass.

Solid brass

Cut from solid brass — weighted, built to last, patina develops with daily use.

Ribbed grip

Fine machined grooves provide real traction on the knob and pull bar alike.

Five pull lengths

11.8 to 27.8 cm — mix knobs and pulls in the same finish for a cohesive room.

Frequently asked

Solid brass throughout — the knobs and pull bars are turned from a brass billet, not cast or plated over another metal. The weight reflects the material density.

Fine parallel ribbed grooves machined along the cylinder — they add texture for grip and visual depth when the light catches the surface at an angle.

Kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, dresser drawers, and bathroom vanities — any cabinetry with standard hole spacings. The range covers knobs for smaller doors and pull bars for wider drawers.

The bronze tone sits naturally in contemporary and transitional kitchens and bathrooms. As the brass ages, it gains character — warmer and richer than when new.

Solid brass is among the most durable materials available for cabinet hardware. It resists corrosion, doesn't chip or crack, and the patina that develops is a feature of the material rather than wear.

Knob (D2.8 cm), T-knob (7 cm long), and four pull bar lengths: 11.8, 15, 21.4, and 27.8 cm. Mix and match across the same room for a cohesive but varied look.

Wipe with a dry or lightly damp cloth to remove fingerprints and dust. The natural patina that develops over time is part of the material's character — no special treatment is needed to preserve it.

Yes — solid brass and the ribbed grip make it suitable for high-use environments like hotel rooms, retail cabinetry, and restaurant millwork, as well as home kitchens and bathrooms.

Yes — the grooves give the fingers a contact point that a smooth cylinder doesn't. On a wet hand (bathroom, kitchen) the texture makes a practical difference beyond aesthetics.

Yes — mounting screws are included. Standard cabinetry installation with a screwdriver; no specialist tools required.
