Here’s a breakdown of the solid bronze gate hardware from Coastal Bronze used on this particular outdoor double arched z-frame gate entrance project. Featuring old world designed hardware skillfully reproduced and manufactured by Coastal Bronze, this installation includes a combination of Gate Band Hinges, Gate Thumblatches, Gate Pull Handles and Cane Bolts to provide security from the inside. With a focus on gate hardware, Coastal Bronze fills a gap in the hardware industry for a product that will never rust in extreme outdoor conditions. As the bronze hardware ages, the product will form a greenish patina.
Since a door jamb is not available for this particular gate configuration, the use of a gate stop will stop the door from swinging in the wrong direction and protect the entire hardware assembly (hinges and drop bars) when the gate is shut, or inadvertently slammed.

What is bronze?
Bronze is an alloy that contains mostly copper, tin and some lead. It’s introduction over 5,000 years ago revolutionized metal work and launched the Bronze Age. By adding tin to copper, workers created a metal that was stronger and impervious to corrosion. Bronze artifacts have been found dating from as early as 3,500 BC.
Coastal Bronze Hardware is pure bronze; 90% Copper and 10% Tin.
Is bronze hardware more beautiful?
Moving from the scientific to the aesthetic, we can assess the superiority of bronze as a feature in the landscape. Bronze has a long history of use as the preferred material for outdoor hardware, partly because of its durability but mainly because it weathers so beautifully.
Once installed outdoors, the metallic bronze hardware darkens to an old-penny brown then eventually to a greenish/blue patina. These colors compliment the browns and greens in nature and do not distract from the natural beauty of the landscape.
