What the Metro line is

Metro is Century Hardware's urban-contemporary family, the short-handle view of the brand's broader Metro Collection. The line reads quietly modern: bar pulls run clean cylindrical stock with rounded end-caps, and the knobs use smooth-faced bodies with no ornament. That restrained cylindrical vocabulary is the line's visual fingerprint, and it gives Metro the flexibility to sit across nearly any contemporary cabinet style. Century Hardware builds the line in solid metal and ships from stock in Hartland, Wisconsin, with most orders moving within one to two business days. Because the geometry stays simple rather than committing to a single statement shape, Metro is a sensible specification when a cabinet style is still in flux during the design phase.

Where Metro fits and how it compares

Metro specifies cleanly on high-rise apartment kitchens, city-loft conversions, contemporary urban townhouse remodels, hospitality projects in metropolitan settings, and slab cabinetry where the cabinet face does the styling work and the hardware needs to recede. Painted slab fronts in white, sage, deep navy, and matte black give the line its strongest backdrop. Compared with Century's other modern families, Metro stakes out the middle ground: where Modern Geo commits to faceted, angular geometry and Mid Century leans into atomic-era retro shapes, Metro stays neutral and cylindrical. Choose Metro when the goal is contemporary hardware that supports the cabinetry rather than drawing the eye, and reserve the more sculptural Century lines for installations meant to make the pull itself a focal point.
