Rocky Mountain Hardware

Architects and Interior Designers may disagree on who should be specifying hardware in a house, but at the very least, there is seldom a disagreement when it comes to where the hardware should come from. Rocky Mountain Hardware is not only known for its amazing quality, but also the beautiful array of products. Their transformation of raw metals into the strong, solid and handsomely formed quality of their pieces extend beyond the your front door, from cabinet knobs and pulls, to lighting and even faucets and sinks. And the best part of it all is what it's all made from - Rocky Mountain is all about sustainability, so when they make their products, their focus is not just the end result, but everything leading up to that point. As US Green Building Council Member, Rocky Mountain believes in the importance of putting their money where their mouth is, so they build their products to meet LEED specifications, and have them certified by Scientific Certification Systems, the leader in third party environmental and sustainability certification. Rocky Mountains metals are made from 90% recycled content, at least 50% of which is made from post-consumer recycled materials. So those hunks of metal above, are turned into the beautiful pieces below, in house, in Idaho.

It all starts at the front door...and this square knocker is absolutely sublime! I love the updated, elegant style - with this, sophistication starts at the front door.


And from their wide range of door hardware, why not select something fabulous to go along with it? I love the flattened circular knobs - totally funky, but not too out there.
And if you're looking for something a little more rustic or a little more traditional, you won't have a problem finding something. The hardware below is a lovely oil rubbed bronze - the perfect finish to convey warmth and welcome.


And once you get inside, why not try a few of their light fixture? The Cube Chandelier is totally fantastic - perfect for making a statement in your Foyer, or imagine it spicing up your Kitchen above the table! The Vessel Sconce is another great way to shed some light in your bathroom or hallway - and best of all, you can use compact fluorescent bulbs in all of their light fixtures.


Sometimes, all it takes to make a bathroom or kitchen with good but boring cabinetry look that much nicer is quality hardware like the ones featured below. It can get pricey, but it's worth the investment when something so small makes such a huge difference in making your cabinetry look amazing.


And even though you might not think about your faucets when you're thinking 'hardware', Rocky Mountain definitely provides some fantastic ones that help keep that consistency of style, quality and that inherent sense of strength their door & cabinetry hardware all have. Whether you go with a wall mounted or deck mounted fixture, you have no problem finding something you'll love.

So whether you focus on inside or out, Rocky Mountain will help you find everything you need without compromising our natural resources OR your sense of style!
