About Us
Our Mission
Tradition Hardware's founders have helped hundreds of people build new homes or renovate old kitchens over years of working in the cabinetry design world. In that process they've seen how difficult it can be to sort through hundreds of pulls and thousands of knobs, then dozens of finishes that don't match from one store to the next. They've watched customers try to reconcile the styles they want and the budget they can afford. They've seen the disappointment that comes with sub-par hardware that just isn't the same as the "real thing".
Tradition Hardware was built to make hardware selection simple and enjoyable. Every piece in the collection is meticulously designed by Tradition Hardware's team of artists and engineers, in house, to create a curated selection of beautiful hardware that is easy to choose from. Every piece sold is a Tradition Hardware original, inspired by classic styles that have stood the test of time. Every product is the "real thing", made from solid brass and other genuine materials so you can know you aren't compromising the integrity of your space. Tradition cuts out distributors and middle men, selling direct to consumer, to make sure that value gets passed on to you. In the end Tradition Hardware simply offers more, for less.
Our Founders
Ben and Chris, the founders of Tradition Hardware, share a passion for craftsmanship, problem-solving, and creating functional designs that inspire. Raised with hands-on skills and a love for building, both developed an early appreciation for the artistry and precision required to bring unique ideas to life. Ben’s background as a mechanical engineer and entrepreneur has fueled his fascination with materials like steel, brass, and wood, while Chris’s keen eye for detail and innovative approach have earned him a reputation in the design world for solving complex design challenges. Together, they are driven by a shared mission to craft beautiful, enduring pieces that blend performance with timeless aesthetics.
