Atlantic UK Hardware

Atlantic UK Hardware supplies contemporary architectural ironmongery with a strong focus on grade 304 and grade 316 stainless steel, matt black and satin finishes. The range is built around matching families, so lever handles, knobs, hinges, bathroom turns and door stops can be bought in the same finish across an entire house.

Buying Atlantic hardware by room

Most internal openings need a lever set plus a tubular latch; bathrooms and en-suites also need a privacy turn and release. Browse Atlantic door knobs, handles on back plate, bathroom turns and release cylinders, door stops, flush bolts, parliament hinges and door closers.

Heavier or fire rated leaves need certified hardware, so start at fire rated hinges and read the door specification before ordering. The brand-neutral selection sits in door handles and locks and latches.

What Atlantic UK covers

Atlantic UK is stocked here as a full architectural hardware range, so the same finish can be carried from the handles through to the hinges, the locks and latches, the escutcheons and the door stops. The range is worth looking at when a house is being finished in matt black or in a brushed finish, because those are the finishes where mixing brands usually goes wrong.

Handles on rose or handles on plate

Atlantic covers both mounting styles. A round rose gives a lighter, more contemporary look and suits new door installations where there are no old screw holes to hide. A plate, covered under handles on back plate, is more forgiving on a refurbishment because it covers a larger area of the leaf. Pull handles are used where the door does not latch, such as sliding and pocket doors, and knobs suit period rooms.

What still has to be ordered with the handle

The latch, the hinges and the bathroom or bedroom function are separate items. For one internal door that means a handle pair, a tubular latch, three hinges and then the privacy or key part for the room. Handlepacks bundle that for a single door, and bathroom door handle sets cover the WC and en suite case.

Fire doors

On an FD30 or FD60 fire door, use fire rated hinges and intumescent strips and pads, and add a door closer where the door has to close itself. FD30 vs FD60 fire doors explains where each rating is used.

Can Atlantic hardware be mixed with another brand?

Room to room, yes, provided the finish reads the same. Within a single doorway it is safer to stay in one range because back plate lengths and lock centres vary.

Which finishes wear best?

Brushed and satin finishes hide daily marks better than polished ones. Matt black looks the sharpest but shows thumb wear soonest.
