Atlantic UK specialises in architectural hardware designed around one simple principle: the finish should be considered across the complete door rather than only on the handle.
This makes the range particularly useful when specifying several pieces of ironmongery together, as handles, hinges, locks, latches, thumb turns, escutcheons, door stops and other visible fittings can be coordinated in matching or complementary finishes.
Atlantic Door Handles
Door handles form a major part of the Atlantic portfolio.
The range extends from clean contemporary lever handles through to traditional and period-inspired designs, allowing Atlantic hardware to be used across modern homes, renovations, hotels, apartments and commercial interiors.
Handles can then be combined with complementary hinges, latches, locks, thumb turns and escutcheons to create a complete door furniture specification.
Atlantic Mortice Door Knobs
Atlantic also offers mortice door knobs across traditional and contemporary collections.
Designs include classic rounded and reeded forms together with more distinctive architectural styles.
When choosing a mortice knob, consider both the appearance and the latch or lock being used. Larger door knobs generally benefit from a deeper backset to provide adequate hand clearance from the door frame.
Locks & Latches
A coordinated finish does not need to stop at the visible door handle.
Atlantic offers an extensive range of tubular latches, deadbolts, mortice locks, bathroom locks, security locks and related accessories in finishes designed to complement its decorative door furniture.
When selecting a lock or latch, the required door function and technical performance should always take priority over appearance. Fire performance, security certification and product dimensions vary between individual products.
Atlantic Hinges
Visible hinges can have a significant influence on the finished appearance of a door.
Atlantic's hinge range includes washered and ball-bearing designs together with options in numerous architectural finishes.
Where a hinge is required for a particularly heavy, frequently used or fire-rated door, check the individual product's load, durability and fire-performance evidence rather than selecting solely by finish.
Old English
The Old English range provides Atlantic's more traditional design language.
It combines heritage-inspired architectural forms with a broad selection of finishes and works particularly well in cottages, barn conversions, renovations and period-inspired interiors.
Old English products include door furniture and coordinating accessories, making it possible to carry the same design style across several elements of the door.
Millhouse Brass
Millhouse Brass offers a more design-led approach to architectural and cabinet hardware.
Textured, knurled and architectural details make the range particularly suitable for contemporary kitchens, bathrooms and high-specification interiors where hardware is intended to become a noticeable design feature.
Coordinating cabinet knobs, pulls and larger architectural fittings can help carry the same material palette throughout a room.
Choosing an Atlantic Finish
One of Atlantic's main strengths is the breadth of available finishes.
Traditional schemes can work particularly well with Antique Brass, Antique Copper and Distressed Silver, while Satin Brass, Matt Black, Polished Nickel, Urban Bronze and Urban Dark Bronze can suit contemporary interiors.
When several pieces of hardware are visible on the same door, choosing them from a coordinated finish family can produce a much more consistent result.
Coordinating the Complete Door
A well-designed ironmongery specification considers more than the handle.
For a typical internal door, you may need to coordinate the lever or knob, hinges, latch, thumb turn, escutcheon and door stop.
Locking doors may additionally require a sashlock, deadlock or cylinder.
Selecting these items together can reduce mismatched finishes and help ensure that the operating components are compatible.
Atlantic Cabinet Hardware
Atlantic's wider portfolio also includes cabinet knobs, cabinet handles and drawer furniture.
This allows the finish used on architectural door hardware to continue into kitchens, wardrobes and fitted furniture.
For open-plan interiors in particular, coordinating cabinet and door furniture can produce a much more unified overall design.
