Century Hardware

Century Hardware solid-brass cabinet pulls and knobs

Century Hardware was founded in 1992 in Hartland, Wisconsin specifically to supply and service cabinet and furniture hardware to distributors worldwide. The catalog still reflects that distributor-channel focus: clean execution, broad finish coverage, and price points below the artisan tier. Hardware ships from stock; most orders land within 1-2 business days. Solid-brass construction is the through-line that distinguishes Century from the zinc-dominated mainstream of the category.

Collections worth knowing

The Yukon collection is the brand's most-distinguished line. Yukon is solid brass with a lifetime-grade finish, offered in seven finishes including rose gold and satin rose gold; those finishes are uncommon at most price points. The Builders Choice collection covers the working spec-build range. The Stainless collection covers commercial-leaning stainless steel pulls. Hartford, Wexford, Newport, Highlander, and Saturn round out the catalog.

What the catalog looks like in practice

Applied finishes hold up well on solid brass. Style coverage is balanced across traditional, modern, transitional, and rustic, with a smaller Arts and Crafts group. Sizing covers the standard knob diameters and pull spacings used on framed and frameless cabinets. A few oversize appliance pulls appear in select collections. Distribution runs through cabinet dealers and showrooms in the United States, Canada, and internationally.

When Century fits a project

Choose Century when solid-brass construction matters to the buyer, when an uncommon finish like rose gold is part of the design direction, or when the project wants real metal substrate at a price point below the artisan tier. The brand is a steady choice for kitchens, baths, and built-ins where finish life and substrate matter more than artisan one-off detail. Pay attention to which collections are solid brass versus brass-plated. The Yukon line is unambiguously solid brass with lifetime-grade finish.
