We use actual antique hardware for our dies and patterns, and still employ many of the same painstaking methods used by early American craftsman. Since our beginning, no compromise is allowed to affect the authenticity or quality of our hardware. My great-grandmother, Angeline Horton, was an antique dealer with a need for fine hardware. So my great-grandfather Frank Horton, using his skills as a tool and die maker, began making reproduction hardware in 1936 in his basement. He established his reputation by making hardware for many of the finest antique dealers in the east.
Effectively keep doors, drawers, and cabinets from opening with durable brass furniture locks from Horton Brasses. An attractive and versatile brass exterior gives way to a classic steel box; a decorative key, with ornate antique details, complements each lock set. Although apt for modern and reproduction applications, furniture locks are based on period forms. Through Horton Brasses, find half and full mortise furniture locks for large and small applications. For adding an additional level of security and protection throughout your home, choose from brass locks for boxes, drawers, cabinets, and cupboards, desks, chests, and trunks.
Antique or reproduction furniture is a beautiful addition to your home, enhancing the living area or providing a period touch to the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, or front door. Modern hardware simply does not match the style and detail of such pieces, and Horton Brasses offers such a solution for restoring and improving the look and functionality of such furniture. Adding strength, retaining period details, and always offering a comfortable grip are the assets our reproduction furniture hardware provides.

Hailing from around our neck of the woods, David shares this little box he built using our HF-19 forged wire pulls. The box is sleek, sophisticated, and a work of fine craftsmanship. The uses are endless, and the shape of these wire pulls adds a sense of movement and interest to the piece. —KJ #...
It may be hard to tell from these photos, but here we have some cabinets that are inside of a boat! @morganbayboat sent in these photos of cabinet doors they build for custom sport fishing vessels, like the one you can kind of see here. They chose our NM-7 non-mortised hinges in polished nickel,...
This spool cabinet built by Brad was a gift for his wife for her birthday. He used our K-13 spool cabinet knobs in antique, and they match the wood on this cabinet almost exactly. This piece is small, compact, and functional — and isn’t that what it’s meant to be? —KJ #marchcontest
Two parts of a whole, this china cabinet sent in by David is a conversation piece to say the least. It would look great in any home, and the sheer size of it is enough to make you want one.
