Century Hardware Builders Choice Collection cabinet hardware
The Century Hardware Builders Choice Collection is the brand's spec-build and new-construction family, the line sized and priced for production builders, multi-unit projects, and rental-property refresh installs. Builders Choice covers traditional and transitional knobs and pulls in workhorse finishes at center-to-center spacings that match the most common cabinet-shop conventions. Century Hardware is a Hartland, Wisconsin operation founded in 1992 to supply cabinet-and-furniture hardware to distributors worldwide. Hardware ships from stock with most orders moving within 1-2 business days.
What identifies the Builders Choice line
The line is built around solid-brass construction at a price point matched to volume installs. The styling stays restrained and transitional: simple bar pulls, classic round knobs, and quietly tailored backplate options. The line covers the standard new-construction center-to-center spacings (96mm, 128mm, 160mm) and the most-asked finishes (brushed nickel, matte black, oil-rubbed bronze). The visual language is deliberately quiet to keep specifications simple across multi-unit projects.
Where Builders Choice fits
The line works on production-builder new-construction kitchens, on multifamily and apartment rental-grade installs, on spec-house builds where the cabinetry needs to read clean without specific period reference, and on tract-housing renovations. The transitional styling sits comfortably against painted shaker, slab, and lightly raised-panel cabinetry. Verify center-to-center spacing carefully when replacing earlier hardware, since older cabinetry sometimes runs spacings that don't match Century's standard offerings.
