Brushed Gold Door Levers

However, many gold handles begin to turn white or fade after two years. This usually happens because they are coated with low-quality spray paint rather than true PVD plating. Paint fades over time, while PVD remains stable.

This Brushed gold door levers uses PVD vacuum coating. The process works as follows: the handle is placed inside a vacuum chamber, where metals such as titanium or zirconium are vaporized. The vapor bonds to the surface, forming a coating layer of 1.2–1.5μm. PVD is 5–8 times harder than spray paint and offers much better resistance to fading and scratching.

The brushed finish features straight, uniform grain lines with a spacing of approximately 0.5mm. The lines run along the length of the lever, creating a clean but refined texture. The PVD layer evenly covers the brushed surface, ensuring that no base material is exposed at the edges.

A 72-hour salt spray test was conducted according to ASTM B117 standards, with no visible color change. We then performed accelerated aging tests combining UV exposure, heat, and humidity cycles, equivalent to approximately 8 years of normal use. The resulting color difference remained below ΔE < 2, meaning it is not easily perceptible to the human eye. We guarantee no noticeable fading for 5 years on this Brushed gold door levers.

A protective top layer is applied to resist fingerprints and oxidation. Fingerprints fade within approximately 5 seconds after touch.

The base materials are carefully selected. Options include brass with ≥57% copper content or 304 stainless steel. The lever wall thickness is 1.8mm for project-grade applications, or 2.0mm and above for residential use. Our PVD equipment is imported, and coating uniformity is controlled within ±0.1μm, ensuring consistent color across the entire surface.

This Brushed gold door levers is suitable for light luxury homes, sales offices, model rooms, clubs, brand showrooms, and boutique hotels. MOQ is 500 sets, with a 5-year color warranty. If noticeable fading occurs within 5 years, we offer replacement.
