Door fasteners used to fasten the
doors are being increasingly made from aluminum. Aluminum is a soft and
malleable metallic element and a very lightweight metal, about one-third
the weight of steel. Aluminum is a very durable metal, which can be
easily fabricated, formed, welded, riveted or bolted. It is used in a
variety of applications like Ceiling panels, light fixtures, handrails,
wall panels, table tops, including hooks, hinges, knobs, handles and
also fasteners. Aluminum has gained a lot of popularity because of its
anti-rust properties and is hence used to make durable and sleek door
fasteners. They may be crafted out of hand cast aluminum, inlaid with
resin, and then polished.
Some of the
aluminum door fasteners have different designs
engraved on them. Some door fasteners may have different shapes. They
are available in different finishes such as
- Pewter
- Brass
- Antique
- Lacquer Finish
- Silver Finish
- Chrome Plated
- Polished Chrome
- Brushed Chrome etc.
