Exclusive Hardware
Story by Judy Goppert / Sponsored Content
This might sound a little overconfident, but when you’re known as a premier source for decorative door, bath and cabinet hardware, you can show a little swagger. From the smallest apartment to luxury hotel suites, starter homes to spectacular executive and celebrity mansions, Locks and Pulls has thousands of door, bath, and cabinet hardware selections in stock that will satisfy the basic as well as the most discriminating of tastes.
When you arrive at a Locks and Pulls store, expect to be greeted by an enthusiastic, knowledgeable employee ready to answer questions and share insight on what’s trending. They will take the time to listen and help you find the perfect piece to inspire or complete your project. This is how they’ve done business for 40 years, building long-term relationships with builders, designers, and homeowners since 1985.
Kansas City’s builders and designers are confident in directing their customers to Locks and Pulls. They trust that their customers will receive exceptional service at both locations. Plus, their showrooms offer classic upscale product lines as well as unique artisan pieces. Baldwin, Emtek, Colonial Bronze, and Rocky Mountain Hardware are a few names customers will recognize, but they believe customers will also enjoy the options from newer decorative lines, such as such as Modern Matter, Classic Brass, Waterstreet Brass, and Armac Martin.
Adam Hensley, owner and company president, shared that brass tones are making a comeback, both polished brass and unlacquered polished brass, with satin brass still going strong. Knurled features on door and cabinet hardware are a popular trend, as is mixing metals and finish tones within a living space in your home.
He noted, “Our market has a greater appetite for higher end products. Also, we have updated our showroom significantly over the last 18 months and brought in a substantial number of new display boards, particularly in the higher end category of door and cabinet hardware. This further ensures customers that we continue to strive to elevate our showroom and cater more towards designers, builders and their clients.”
Hardware shouldn’t be hard, and with so many options to express personal style and make an artistic statement, Adam and his staff believe hardware is actually fun. Both Overland Park and the North Kansas City locations offer over 1,500 cabinet knobs and pulls and over 50 door hardware options, most of which are in stock. “Plus, there are thousands of additional items available for order from more than 100 manufacturers around the world.”
