satin nickel door knocker finish
This finish is sometimes called Brushed Nickel. The surface of the castings natural brass gold tone is machine buffed smooth and hand polished. An abrasive media is used to dull the surface and create a horizontal grain to the surface.
The casting is then engraved. Following the engraving the casting is nickel plated to create the silver finish over the satin brass.
Because we engrave before we nickel plate our satin nickel door knockers our engraving shows up very well. This is not true with door knockers that are engraved after the plating process.
The actual engraving creates bright lines on the satin surface that creates excellent contrast. This is duplicated through the plating creating an easy to read personalization.
The final step is the application of clear gloss lacquer to protect and seal the finished product.
