FORMANI door fittings are not automatically universal, as their compatibility depends on several factors, such as the specific locks and doors on which it is to be installed. However, to meet diverse needs, FORMANI offers different options and solutions for different models, making our products suitable for various types of doors and locks. In markets where there are deviations in specifications, we have developed customized programs and products. It is essential to consult the product information or technical specifications of FORMANI door fittings to ensure that they are suitable for your specific type of door and lock. If you are considering using FORMANI door fittings, we recommend that you contact a specialist or a FORMANI dealer to determine the specific model or design that best suits your situation.
Yes, our standard stainless steel quality (AISI 304) is suitable for outdoor use. However, if you're in coastal or industrial areas, we recommend opting for a PVD coating. Glossy nickel is not suitable for outdoors. However, in our TIMELESS collection, we offer PVD nickel finishes for exterior door hardware and some popular door handle models. Brass, on the other hand, is excellent for outdoor use, but our brass finish is unlacquered, allowing it to develop a patinated look over time, which adds to its charm. Remember, regular maintenance is always essential.
