Zinc Alloy Hardware

Cabinet knobs, pulls, and hinges cast from zinc alloy (zamak), the most widely used base metal in decorative cabinet hardware manufacturing. Zinc alloy is favored because it casts with fine detail, accepts electroplated finishes (chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, matte black) extremely well, resists corrosion, and costs less than solid brass or stainless steel. The vast majority of mid-range and premium cabinet hardware sold today is zinc alloy with a decorative finish layer.
