Builder’s Sets No comments yet

The H802 series knob is available in 4 finishes, including PB.

With the release of our new product catalog, Cliffside Industries is proud to introduce several lines of new product that will be outlined here in the blog in upcoming weeks. Today, our focus is on Cliffside’s new Builder’s Sets, incorporating elements from our previous hardware line and expanding them into new and exciting offerings.

Builders’ Finishes

The Z211-96 pull is a new addition to the Cliffside line.

As opposed to the 10 finishes available in our solid brass hardware line, Cliffside’s builders’ hardware is available in four finishes: the ever-popular Brushed Nickel and Silver Satin; the classic Old Antique, new to all of our builders’ products; the contemporary sheen of Polished Chrome; and the timeless elegance of Polished Brass.

Alternative Materials

K-510-OA is a new zinc die cast knob, one of four finishes offered in the builders' line.

Items in Cliffside Industries’ builders’ line are manufactured with the same rigorous expectations of quality that our customers have learned to trust for over 20 years. The materials in our builders’ include zinc die cast pieces such as Z211-96, a new pull, and brass hardware such as the H802.

Economical and Elegant

If you're interested in upgraded builders' hardware, consider this 813-B knob and its matching pull.

Cliffside is proud to offer two distinct lines of builders’ hardware. The first includes item H802 in four finishes, the K-510 series knobs in four finishes, and the new Z211 pull.  This line, in which most items are quantity-priced, is geared toward builders and manufacturers who are seeking economical hardware options.

If your customer is looking for an upgrade, consider our Italian-made upgraded builders’ line: the matching knob and pull 813-B and 1040-B. These pieces are an elegant alternative to the simpler styles of the more economical line.

Introducing the Artisan Suite No comments yet

For years, Cliffside carried several die cast pulls that displayed a faux exposed screw design on the foot of the straight pull and on the rim of the cup pull. While a popular design, this series was limited by odd center-to-center measurements and few finishes available in the zinc material.

Customers have continued to demand this long time favorite… and we have listened!

The B602, a solid brass cup pull, is available in 10 finishes.

In a new revival of an old style, Cliffside’s new Artisan Suite is now available in 10 finishes. All pieces in this suite are now crafted from solid brass material. The faux exposed screw design complements the pulls, cup pull and our own one-of-a-kind B600 knob. Solid brass latches and hinges round out this offering.

As with the rest of Cliffside’s suites, the new B602 cup pull is offered in the standard 3″cc size, as opposed to its predecessor (the 602 cup pull), which was originally zinc die cast with a 2¹/₂” center-to-center measurement. The faux screws on the rim are an attractive adornment that complements Cliffside’s solid brass IBCL and SBCL cupboard latches.

New B622-3 pull in polished nickel

In re-creating the original 622 series pull style, Cliffside improved the center-to-center measurement to 3″ (previously 3¹³/₁₆“). This new pull, numbered B622-3, is available in 10 finishes to match the rest of the Cliffside hardware line. Additionally, as with every hardware suite, the pulls are available in 8″cc and 12″cc sizes for use with small appliances and refrigerators, respectively. You can see pictures of these new items by looking at the included images, or following the link to see all of the new items in each available finish!

The B600 is an item that is exclusive to Cliffside Industries' line.

Several classic Cliffside knobs make an appearance in the Artisan Suite, including the 110 and 158 series, but none are more exciting than Cliffside’s new B600 knob. This item, designed exclusively for Cliffside, is one of a kind; you will not find this piece anywhere else! Distinctively decorated to match the Artisan hardware, we feel confident that the B600 will be a popular part of our hardware line for years to come.

As with all Cliffside hardware suites, our high-quality solid brass hinges are offered to complement any of our ten signature finishes. To complete our line, we have added several new finishes to our hinges, including the 3-8-OFFSET in four new finishes and new colors available in the AHI and AHO series.

Featured Suite: Rope No comments yet

Continuing our featured suite series, we focus next on the second grouping in the 2009 new product supplement: the Rope Suite. When originally introduced, it consisted of just three pieces, and was available only in five finishes. Due to demand, it’s now available in all of our ten signature finishes. Let’s examine its individual elements.

Knobs

B674 knob

B674-31-OC

The B674-31 is one of the three original pieces in this suite. It features the braided rope design around the rim of the knob. With a 1¼” diameter, it is similar in size to many of our other standard round knobs while offering a decorative alternative to more traditional styles. As with all of the hardware suites, this item is solid brass and available in 10 finishes.

B721 knob

B721-VB

In response to customer requests, the original B711 knob has been replaced by the new B721, which was introduced in spring of 2009. This oblong knob has the same look and braided design of the B711; however, it has been enlarged slightly. Where the B711 knob was 1¼” in diameter and 1” in height, the B721 knob is 1½” in diameter with a height of 1¼”.

Other knobs

161-IR

Since all of the pieces in the Cliffside signature line are available in all ten finishes and are all made from the same material, any knob can be used with the Rope Suite, if you prefer not to utilize the above designs. In the new product supplement, the B674 and B721 are accompanied by the 161 knob, but any other knob can also be used.

Pulls

K344 series pulls in 3"cc, 8"cc and 12"cc models

Before our recent line expansion, the K344 series was notably inconsistent, with the 3″cc pull available in the BNI finish while the 12″cc appliance pull was available in SS (Silver Satin). We are pleased to announce that all of the pieces are now available in the SS finish only, allowing you a greater freedom to choose pieces that match your hardware! The newest piece is the K344-8, a stylish size that is appropriate for oversized pantry doors or for appliances like dishwashers and trash compactors with wood panel kits.

K544-AB

This suite is the only one to receive a completely new cup pull as well; it was designed in conjunction with our suppliers especially for Cliffside Industries. Borrowing the braided design of the K344 and following the style of the ever-popular K4235, the new K544 cup makes a bold statement on any drawer.

Accessories

SBCL-PN

Each Cliffside suite can be accompanied by the use of one or more latches. Cliffside offers two styles: the IBCL finger latch, and the SBCL turn latch. Each is cast from solid brass and will prove more durable in the long run than any similar products made of inferior materials. Cliffside also offers the widest variety of finishes in the industry for both of these products.

BH2A-FB-NF

Cliffside’s solid brass hinges are the perfect solution for matching an exposed hinge to your hardware. Made with solid one-piece construction, our hinges have been developed with the finest European craftsmen to bring you a product that remains unchanged over the years and continues to provide the high quality you deserve and expect. Cliffside currently offers six hinge styles, with a new seventh style arriving in early 2010. The BH2A hinge is available with our signature steeple finial (17 finishes), a ball finial (11 finishes), or no finial (11 finishes). Its larger counterpart, the BH3A, is available with its signature minaret finial in 13 finishes. The BH2A-NM non-mortise butt hinge has 16 finishes to choose from with the signature finial, and 11 finishes with a ball tip as well. The newest hinge style, BH3A-NM — a larger non-mortise hinge — will be available with the signature finial in 11 finishes coming in early 2010. Additionally, Cliffside offers two styles of offset hinges and two styles of armoire hinges to supply your cabinet construction needs.

The moral?

Let yourself get roped in to buying Cliffside hardware this winter – you won’t regret it!

Cliffside Industries Introduces New Hardware Suites

Drawing on decades of experience distributing traditional solid brass hardware

Cliffside Industries proudly introduces our new hardware suites. Each suite contains a variety of items designed to be used in conjunction with one another. Each suite contains a minimum of three knobs, a 3″cc pull, a 3″cc cup pull, an 8″cc pull, a 12″cc pull, and two latches. Any item from any suite can be mixed and matched with items from another. Additionally, all four solid brass suites are available complete in all of our top ten finishes, including  Antique Brass, Black, Iron, Old Antique, Old Copper, Polished Brass, Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, Silver Satin, and Venetian Bronze. Cliffside also offers six different hinge styles in finishes to match nearly every suite. The four solid brass suites include:

Scroll Suite

This suite contains the scroll-style pulls SP-3, SP-8, and SP-12. Any knobs or cup pulls in our line may be used with this suite, but we particularly recommend the 100, 100-20, or 105 series knobs and the K4235 cup pull. See the photos below for more details. Due to the sleek ball design in the middle of the pull, Cliffside’s new ball tip hinges work very well with this design.

Rope Suite

This suite contains the rope-design pulls K344, K344-8, and K344-12. A new cup pull, K544, has been designed specifically for this suite as well, though customers wishing for a simpler look may certainly choose any other piece. The B674-31 and B721 knobs also have the rope design on their faces, though we recommend the 161 series for customers seeking a simpler solution. Cliffside’s line of 3-8-OFFSET hinges add a definitive sparkle to this hardware series.

Criss-Cross Suite

Many new items are available in this suite, including the P-399-8 and P-399-12 pulls, which match the original P-399. Previously available in only two finishes, this entire line, which includes the P-398 cup pull, the K-580 knob, and the new K-579 knob, is now available in all of the top ten finishes. With this decorative look, Cliffside recommends the armoire hinges to add a unique accent to your cabinet doors.

Classic Suite

The lines of this suite are smooth and contoured as the hardware is defined by the B1-3 and B1-12 pulls. The new B1-8 is an addition to this line. Cliffside also offers the K341 cup pull, as the 110, 158, and 161 series knobs. Two different cupboard latches are available with this and with all other suites as well. Cliffside’s original BH2A or BH2A-NM hinges work well with this series, in steeple or ball finial.

Other suites

Sedona

The Sedona suite, available in three rustic finishes, contains many of the elements of the traditional Cliffside suites. With pulls available in four sizes up to 18″cc as well as a cup pull, Sedona pulls offer a variety of design options in Antique Iron, Antique Silver, and Bronze. Five knobs are also available: small and large round knobs, small and large wave knobs, and an oblong knob. If you are looking for hinges to match a Sedona project, call customer service for more information.

Stainless Steel

While there are no cup pulls available in stainless steel, our T305 and T366 series pulls are available in a variety of sizes from 96mm cc up to 1392mm cc. Two knobs, the T565-30 and the T6312-25, are also available. These pulls also match well with our solid brass hinges in the “SS” (silver satin) finish. For appliances, Cliffside also offers the D85 series pulls, with sizes up to 64″ overall.

Featured Dealer: Quality Custom Cabinetry No comments yet

About QCCI

QCCI® is nationally recognized for its high-end custom product lines: the classic all-wood Quality Custom Cabinetry® and the sleek Euro-design inspired Saxton Cabinetry® brands. Based in New Holland (Lancaster County) PA, QCCI employs 300 people who work in its 22,500 sq.ft. corporate headquarters and two state-of-the-art production facilities that total 205,500 sq.ft. Both brands are sold through a network of award-winning dealers across the U.S., and have been prominently featured in such prestigious publications such as Architectural Digest, Trends, Veranda and Traditional Home.

Company history

This beautiful farmhouse kitchen features the Quality Custom Cabinetry® Lancaster door style in an Olde Towne Buttermilk finish. Olde Towne Moss is used on the free-standing island.

In 1968, a cabinetmaker named Martin H. Weaver started his own business in a 2,200 sq. ft. building in Brownstown (PA), with two employees and a modest goal of building one, very special kitchen a day. Weaver was all about quality and giving people an honest product that would be built with integrity and pride. Hence the straightforward name Quality Custom Kitchens.

By 1972 Quality hired its first full-time kitchen designer plus a salesperson to develop a small dealer network that initially built inroads into the Philadelphia and New Haven (CT) markets. Business flourished and in 1983 the company moved up the road to New Holland, into a 27,000 sq.ft. building that was equipped with the most advanced technologies for woodworking and finishing. Four years later there was another 20,000 sq.ft. expansion, and a formal, freestanding corporate headquarters was built in 1990.

By the time Quality celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1993, annual sales were close to $10 million, generated by 100 dealers and 135 employees. About this time Weaver stepped aside so his son-in-law Glenn L. Good, now President and CEO, and son Jerry Weaver, now Vice President, could take over the helm.

In 1995 the company’s name was changed to Quality Custom Cabinetry, Inc. – a reflection of the diversity of its solid wood product line. From a three-person shop, Quality had become one of the most sophisticated cabinetry manufacturers in the nation, renown for its exquisite solid wood cabinetry and accessories, timeless designs, and range of finishes that are always in tune with the latest design trends.
Sales continued at a steady pace, leading to more expansions in manufacturing (to 126,000 sq.ft.), enhanced product offerings, and a dealer network that now extends to the West Coast.

The sleek Euro-styling of this contemporary Saxton Cabinetry® kitchen spotlights the sophisticated Opus Gold door style in Birdseye Maple with a hi-gloss finish.

It was renewed interest in frameless construction that sparked Quality’s progression into Saxton Cabinetry®. After a rigorous two-year pilot program the new brand was formally launched in 2007 with construction of a 57,000 sq.ft. facility that is 100% dedicated to the latest frameless technology.

To separate its custom cabinetry brands and set up a business structure to better accommodate future growth, the firm’s corporate identity has been changed to QCCI®. The company’s business practices have earned the KCMA Environmental Stewardship Program Certification. In addition, QCCI is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council and promotes its LEED programs. QCCI is also proud of the fact that for six consecutive years it has been named a “Best Place to Work in PA”, earning an 11th place ranking in companies with over 250 employees.
