Cliffside Industries today announced the arrival of its new BH3A-NM hinge line. These new hinges are manufactured and finished by the same companies that make every hinge offering in the hardware line. This new hinge offers a longer barrel (3½”) and leaf (2½”) which is excellent for use in the construction and hanging of larger-sized cabinet doors. Each hinge is fully adjustable and countersunk to meet the exacting standards that Cliffside’s customers demand. In addition, the barrel diameter (¼”) is identical to that of the BH2A-NM hinge, making it seamlessly easy to use both sizes in the same application without fretting over style differences.

“In the same way that our BH3NA hinge offers a bolder alternative for those customer seeking a mortised hinge, the new BH3A-NM offers a larger size for those manufacturers who prefer not to have to mortise their doors,” said one customer service representative.

Cliffside offers eleven standard hinge finishes available to choose from: Antique Brass and Antique English, Black, Iron, Old Antique, Old Copper, Polished Brass, Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, Silver Satin and Venetian Bronze. These finishes cover the entire hinge line for the BH2A, BH2A-NM, BH2A-NF, BH3NA, and  BH3A-NM styles.

“Cliffside Industries is an award winning distributor of traditional solid brass hinges, knobs and pulls respected industry-wide for our customer service. Family owned and operated since 1987.”

He reached in the sack and shook it about
Then reached down inside and took hardware out
The pulls and the latches gleamed silver and gold
With dark-colored hinges like antique of old.
Dim light from the window made them sparkle like day,
And the man chuckled loudly as I heard him say:
“Pick Copper! Pick Iron! Pick Black or Venetian!
The hardware you need for your bath and your kitchen!”

He strolled through the house, seeking cupboard and shelf,
Their hardware improved by the jovial elf.
Cried the man of the house, “Sir, is this a joke?—
Why did you adorn all our cabinets of oak
With all of these dazzling hardware delights?”
But St. Nick just winked as he turned to the right
And dashed to the bath, where he drew from his pack,
Crystal knobs with glittering stems at the back.
Attached to the vanity, they sparkled and shone,
With light glist’ning this way and that from the stones.

The owners—they saw all the changes he made;
Fine hardware on all of their cabinets displayed.
They asked him, “O Santa, please, where did you get
All this hardware you’ve placed upon our cabinets?”
St. Nick laughed aloud when he heard their request:
“Why, from Cliffside! For you, none but the best!”

And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
And they heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight:
“Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

Happy Holidays to you and yours from Cliffside Industries!
Adapted from “A Visit from St. Nicholas” by Clement Clarke Moore

Knobs

161-VB

Many of Cliffside’s customers prefer traditionally-styled hardware, which is why it comprises the majority of our hardware line. The 161 knob is a prime example of a piece whose design is simple yet timelessly elegant. With its attached backplate and beveled face, it is one of Cliffside’s most popular pieces. As with all of the solid brass hardware suites, this piece is available in 10 finishes. It is just under 1¼” in diameter and is 1⅛” in height.

158-FB

The other two knobs in the classic suite — the 158 and the 110 —are also very simple pieces that maintain the ridged element that ties the Classic Suite together. The 158, which is now available in several new finishes as a result of the line expansion, is popular for its rounded face and attached backplate, while the 110 offers a stylistic alternative to the plainness of other Cliffside knobs like the 158 or the 100 series.

Pulls

The classic suite pulls in polished nickel (3"cc, 8"cc, and 12"cc models)

The simple B1 series pulls of the Classic Suite combine smooth lines with ageless style to create this very traditional look suitable for any cabinet application. The 8″cc pulls are now part of this line as well: 10 completely new items! Besides adding the Venetian Bronze finish to the 3″cc line, the 12″cc appliance pulls are now also available in our 10 signature finishes — new finishes include Polished Chrome, Antique Brass, Old Copper, and Black.

K341-OC

The K341 cup pull is a chic alternative to other Cliffside cup pulls. Where the others are crafted in the traditional half-circle shape, the K341 is elongated, echoing the elegant lines of the B1 series. This pull’s new finishes, which include Polished Chrome and Polished Nickel, are already among its most popular sellers.

Accessories

All of the Cliffside hardware suites, including the Classic, can be used in conjunction with any of our matching hinge styles, including the BH2A, BH2A-BALL, BH2A-NF, BH3A, BH2A-NM, and BH2A-NM-BALL.  We also have armoire hinges and offset hinges available in most of our suite finishes. Our stylish solid brass latches (IBCL and SBCL) are the perfect compliment to this suite. Introduced in 2008, the IBCL has quickly become a very popular part of our line, and its lines match well with the bold style of the Classic suite.

The moral?

If you’re in the mood for an upgrade this holiday season, consider adding a touch of class — with Cliffside Industries’ Classic Suite!

Pulls

The P-399 pulls in 3"cc, 8"cc, and 12"cc models

Cliffside’s criss-cross pulls are the biggest part of this line, both literally and figuratively. The series was originally only available with the 3″cc size, and only existed in two finishes (Antique Brass and Silver Satin). With the advent of the suite concept at Cliffside, we have expanded the 3″cc to be available in all ten of our best-selling finishes. Additionally, we added the 8″cc and 12″cc sizes, which were developed in conjunction with the engineers that create our products.  Though first attempts proved to be awkwardly shaped and humorous at times, the results were finely crafted pieces of durable and beautiful hardware that look stunning on any cabinet design. These pulls match especially well with the “ribbon and reed”-style molding found on many traditional cabinets.

P-398-OC

Also part of this series of pulls is the P-398 cup pull, which has also been expanded to ten finishes. Originally available in only AB, PB, and SS, this piece is striking in some of our more detailed or antiqued finishes, like Venetian Bronze, Iron, and Old Copper, and offers an alternative to a plain and simple cup pull in the simpler finishes like Flat Black and Old Antique.

Knobs

K-580-OA

The original knob from the criss-cross series is the K-580, which Cliffside has offered in three finishes for years. The line expansion gave this traditional piece a new life by providing it in several dramatic new colors. The knob’s design is tied to this line by the criss-cross style around the exterior rim of the face. It is a subtle way of connecting hardware pieces without being too bold.

K-579-VB

If you’d rather make a bold statement about the criss-cross design, consider the K-579. This piece is completely unique, developed through cooperative efforts between Cliffside representatives and the engineering team. The K-579 was chosen from several different designs, based on customer demand for a knob that more obviously matched the P-399 pulls. Each finish offers a different perspective on the knob, whether you seek a subdued statement or an emphatic one.

Mix and Match

Any knob can be used with this hardware suite, if you’d rather not use the K-580 or K-579. If you’re looking for an oblong-shaped knob, for example, why not try the 105? For a more detailed look, the B721 is available as well.

Accessories

BH2A-AE-NF

The main impact that the criss-cross suite had on the Cliffside hinge line was the addition of the Antique English finish. Since the Antique Brass criss-cross hardware is quite popular, it was mentioned by several customers that Cliffside did not have hinges to match the hardware exactly. As Cliffside’s hinges are European-made, the “AB” finish is a rich, dark brownish-gold, rather than the brighter brushed golden color tones that American designers and manufacturers consider to be antique brass. Thus was born the Antique English finish, a matching brushed brass finish that resembles antique brass hardware more closely. This finish is available in six different hinge styles, including the BH2A, BH2A-BALL, BH2A-NF, BH3A, BH2A-NM, and BH2A-NM-BALL. If you are more interested in an armoire hinge, the Bronze Satin finish is the best match in that series.

SBCL-PN

In the Antique Brass finish, Cliffside also brought back the SBCL-AB, and introduced the IBCL-AB, a dramatic-looking piece. As with the rest of our signature hardware line, both latch styles were extended to ten finishes when we expanded our line, including the popular new SBCL-PN shown at right.

The moral?

If you’re frustrated looking for hardware in a saturated market, don’t get cross… get Cliffside’s Criss-Cross!
