By Mary Ellen Polson Verified, Abby Cote| Fine Homebuilding Verified Architectural or builders’ hardware such as doorknobs, locks, latches, hinges, and window catches are among the most prized details in any vintage house. Over the decades, these functional pieces of house jewelry tend to take a beating. Rust, tarnish, multiple coats of paint, missing parts, and damage from missing or stripped screws compromise the integrity of these essential bits. Depending on the period and materials, vintage hardware may be better or lesser than what’s made today.
