The Root is the 3.75" antique brass bar pull for rental properties with period or heritage cabinetry — the finish that matches existing architectural character instead of fighting it.
For a landlord with pre-war stock, a character conversion, or original millwork, modern finishes look wrong — matte black and chrome both fight the building's age. Antique brass aligns with what's already there. And critically for a rental: this patina is factory-applied and lacquer-sealed, not a living finish. It arrives looking aged and stays exactly that way — heritage character without the gentle maintenance a developing patina would demand of tenants. The period look, tenant-proofed.
The 96mm center-to-center fits compact cabinet doors and narrow drawers. Solid brass core with a sealed antique patina — stable across turnover cycles.
Best fit: rentals in period buildings, character conversions, and heritage-style kitchens. For a warm-brass rental alternative, see the Mono 3.75". For a champagne-gold rental alternative, the Form 3.75". For the homeowner-grade version of this finish, the Halo 3.75" serves an owner kitchen.
Wipe gently with a dry cloth only. Avoid cleaning products that may strip the intentional patina.
Fit & installation
Back-mounted, with mounting screws included. The screws suit standard drawer fronts and doors from 1/2 to 1 1/2 inches thick; for thicker or thinner panels, a longer or shorter screw is available at any hardware store. Drill a 3/16-inch hole at each marked center, fit the screw from behind, and hand-tighten until snug. With daily use, hardware can work loose over time — an occasional re-tighten keeps it solid.
Care
Soft cloth and a mild, damp wipe. Avoid solvents that strip the finish.
