KALTENBACH HARDWARE
Solid-milled raw metal hardware.
Unlacquered brass, steel, and matte iron fittings engineered in Essen, Germany. Built to record the touch of hands and age naturally over generations.
TECHNICAL STANDARDS
Essen Workshop
Solid Bar Stock
Natural Patina
All orders ship directly from our workshop at 266 Altendorfer in Essen, Germany. Standardized technical dimensions for seamless architectural specification.
Milled directly from solid bar stock without zinc cores or hollow castings. Heavy, tactile hardware engineered to outlast the buildings they are installed in.
Our unlacquered metals reject synthetic coatings. They tarnish, darken, and develop a rich, historic patina through daily tactile contact over time.
Specify honest hardware.
Select from our complete range of solid-milled pulls, brackets, and hooks. Shipped directly to your project site from our Essen workshop.
