SPRING ASSIST Each handle Rocky Mountain Hardware produces has an additional spring attached to the handle and the escutcheon that returns the lever, knob or ring to the neutral position; this mechanism eliminates sagging handles.

ORDERING GLOSSARY Follow these Steps to Customize our Door Hardware Perfectly to Your Style Select an escutcheon (back plate) style. We have over 25 styles to choose from. Look through these pages to see pictures of each style in setting as well as simple product shots on white background. Each style has many different sized plates to carry your selected design from the entry to the bathroom. See pages 24-165. If you selected our DESIGNER COLLECTION , you will also need to select a choice from either our Italian leather (pages 66-67) or our bronze texture options (pages 58-59). If you selected our EDGE COLLECTION , you will also need to select a texture option (pages 32-35). Contact your local authorized Rocky Mountain Hardware dealer to help carry your design selections throughout your project. If you do not already know your local dealer, please call us directly to find the one best suited to serve your needs. 888.788.2013 Below is a list of details that your dealer will need to finalize for your order. • Number and location of doors–then the following information for each door. • Handing of each door (see diagram on page 262). • Door stile width. The stile is the vertical flat portion of the door where the hardware mounts. The dimension needed is from the edge of the door to where the flat portion ends/molding or other detail begins. • Door Thickness. • Are doors already bored for hardware? If yes, you will need measurements of these holes. (If not, boring instructions are included with the hardware.) Select a patina. We have 12 patina finishes-with two different base alloys. Our silicon bronze finishes are more copper/brown in appearance, while our white bronze finishes are more pewter/silver in appearance. See pages 16-19. Select a handle. We have many handle options, including grips, levers and knobs. Grips are typically used on larger entry doors, while levers and knobs can be used for either entry or interior doors. Grips and levers or knobs are often mixed on the same project to accommodate different needs. See pages 166-195.
