New product introduction: B1-5 No comments yet

B1 series pulls in Antique Brass

To introduce our new line of 5″cc solid brass cabinet pulls, Cliffside will feature a short blog on each design. The first to be spotlighted is the B1-5, part of the Classic Suite and shown here in Antique Brass. The items of the Classic Suite feature a timeless beveled-edge design, and the B1-5 is no different. Suitable for wide drawers or larger cabinet doors, or for any application where the homeowner, designer, or contractor desires a larger hardware piece, this new standard pull is sure to fill the need.

As shown, the B1-5 is part of a larger set; the Classic Suite now offers two cabinet pulls (the B1-3 and new B1-5), an oversized pull (the B1-8; usable for oversized doors and drawers and small appliances such as dishwashers, trash compactors, and under-counter small refrigerators), and an appliance pull (the B1-12; designed to stand up to the toughest refrigerators).

All of our hardware suites are available with coordinating knobs, like the Classic Suite’s 147, 148, and 149 shape knobs. All suites also have ten designs of hinges in coordinating finishes and two styles of solid brass cupboard latches available as well. For more information on this “classic” design or any of our new 5″cc pulls, contact our customer service department or any of our dealers today!

New display designs No comments yet

With Cliffside’s custom display board program, it’s possible to create nearly any hardware board you or your customers desire. However, we do have some “old standards”: designs that we fall back on when a customer asks for something well-established. Cliffside’s hardware suites contain the most timeless and popular items in our hardware line, and we are planning yet another expansion, which we will preview on these boards.

Cliffside's Criss-Cross suite displayed in the Iron finish

Our new board design incorporates the traditional 3″cc cabinet pull, the matching 8″cc and 12″cc appliance pulls, and the brand-new 5″cc large cabinet pull! All of the new 5″cc pulls will be available in fall 2011, but these boards give you an exclusive sneak peek at the designs of these pieces, which will be available in ten finishes and in all five solid brass hardware suites.

At right, you can see the Criss-Cross suite, bold and distinctive in the Iron finish. Along the top of the board are the four pull sizes: 3″cc at the far left, the new 5″cc size beside it, and then the 8″cc small appliance pull and the 12″cc refrigerator pull at the far right. Below the pulls on the left, you can see the K579 knob, a Cliffside-exclusive design, and the K580, a more ornate selection. Any iron-finish solid brass knob can coordinate with this suite, like the oblong 105 shown beneath the 5″cc pull.

In the lower center section of the board, you can see the P398 cup pull, attractively antiqued and displaying the suite’s signature reeded design. Hinges are available to coordinate with all of our suites, and this one is no exception; the AHI inset armoire hinge is displayed alongside two other non-mortise hinges: the BH3A-NM (left center) and BH2A-NM (right center). All of Cliffside’s solid brass suites match our solid brass cupboard latches too, including the IBCL shown here in the lower right corner.

All in all, the new Cliffside display designs are a big hit. The 5″cc pulls are brand-new designs which we believe are the best way to complete our solid-brass suites. For further details on our displays or with any questions, feel free to e-mail us or contact the customer service department

New product introduction: Contemporary and crystal No comments yet

Cliffside Industries is proud to announce the addition of several new hardware sets to our line. Rather than our hardware suites, which are constructed from solid brass and bronze and stainless steel, these smaller “sets” give customers the opportunity to mix and match on a smaller scale. This line includes several new elegant crystal options, as well as a wide variety of choices in contemporary styles.

New European crystal

Cliffside Industries’ line of special-order crystal now includes several items using elements from Swarovski, the famed Austrian crystal manufacturer. In addition to our wide selection of lead crystal knobs, Cliffside now offers a selection of crystal pulls, shining like sparkling diamonds inset in polished chrome. In all, Cliffside has added 12 new items, including the CX100 series shown below.

New stainless steel

Having carried high-quality stainless steel lines for years in the form of the T305, T366, and D85 series pulls, Cliffside has now added four new lines of special-order stainless steel handles. The CX403 and CX404 series are nearly identical; both are an attractive square design with the same thickness maintained throughout the pull. The CX403 is thinner, at approximately ¹/₂“, while the CX404 offers a thickness of approximately ⁵/₈“. Both are available in a variety of sizes (CX403-192-BNA shown below).

The CX753 and CX754 series are another alternative for those customer seeking a round shape that is not like the T305 and T366 that we already provide. Offering multiple sizes in both styles, the CX753 is a thinner, cylindrical shape, while the CX754 has a flatter, more elliptical bar with round feet. Shown below is the CX754 series in a 128mm (approximately 5¹/₁₆“) center-to-center:

New contemporary sets

While Cliffside’s focus has always been traditional hardware, we do realize that there is an occasional demand for contemporary products. Therefore, we have added this special-order line to fill that need. With a variety of knobs and pulls in different sizes, Cliffside offers several different styles, all offered as shown on our website. Some series, like the Italian pieces shown below, are available in three finishes (Polished Chrome, Silver Satin, and Weathered Bronze):

Others, like the contemporary collection here, are available only in one or two colors.

New novelty hardware No comments yet

New for 2011, Cliffside Industries has added a wide variety of novelty hardware items to expand upon the selection in our catalog. These new items, an expansion of a collection that we previously offered in limited items only, are all available in five standard finishes — Antique Brass, Antique Copper, Nickel, Oil-Rubbed Bronze, and Pewter. This line is crafted from zinc and are made in the United States. Our supplier will drop-ship the product directly to you, so there is no extra wait in addition to the standard lead time for manufacturing (approximately 2 weeks). With a wide variety of products — from natural to nautical, aquatic to eclectic — our new novelty hardware has something to please everyone!

A walk on the beach

Sail away...

For those customers living near the coast (any coast!), beach-themed and nautical hardware is a must. If you are a boat owner — or are designing for a boat lover — there are several knobs available to suit your fancy. We also offer an anchor for your vessel, as well as other nautical pastimes, like fishing. For the safety-conscious captain, lighthouses are also available.

A-hunting we will go

Hunting for deer

If you’re a hunter, we offer several different animal knobs that would be perfect for your lodge or cabin — or even your everyday home. Whether you hunt deer, bear, moose, duck, or other game, there is hardware to suit all tastes, especially if you like to track your prey. For the shooting enthusiast who’s not a hunter, we also offer several designs of firearm-related knobs and pulls.

Wild kingdom

Thanksgiving dinner?

In addition to the above-listed animals, Cliffside offers several additional wildlife options. We have birds of the air, creatures of the land, and insects of the earth. There are also frogs, dogs, turtles, and even a turkey! In addition to fish in the water, we also offer crabs, seahorses, and whales. If you’d rather go on a safari than stay close to home, you can have elephants, lions, and rhinos.

Regional appeal

A kokopelli

If you live in the Southwest, we have several appealing designs related to your native area. There are three different cacti, cattle heads and skulls, and cowboy boots. For your trip west, you could take a wagon. Other items include an abstract southwestern design and the kokopelli, a Native American figure.

Planes, trains, and automobiles

Rev up that bike!

If you’re a car buff, we’ve got knobs for you; if you love airplanes and railroads, we can handle those too! You can also take a ride in a hot air balloon or, if you fancy yourself a daredevil, fly down the highway on a motorcycle. Take a tractor, sail a boat, or just drift away to a tropical island…

A sporting chance

Quiet on the green...

Everyone’s a sports fan, and Cliffside offers products for many enthusiasts. You can catch a pop fly with our baseball gloves, or run between the tackles with our football knobs. Other sports represented include tennis and our wide variety of golf-related hardware pieces.

Cliffside's Fine Hardware Collections catalog

In August 2010, Cliffside Industries released our newest Fine Hardware Collections catalog. This new generation of product catalog was born from countless ideas and requests from Cliffside customers to offer literature that is concise, straightforward, and well-organized with a clean approach. By eliminating fussy background and distracting props, we have brought the focus back to the hardware; Cliffside’s customers have asked and we delivered!

What’s new in this catalog?

The first new feature begins immediately inside the catalog, with our Table of Contents on page 3. Coupled with the Index (page 67), Cliffside provides two easy ways to cross-reference our products. Distinct color tabs define individual product lines, making it easy to locate a specific item.

New to this catalog are our hardware suites, which occupy pages 4 through 15 of the catalog. Each suite, including the new Artisan Suite, is shown in its entirety on these pages. All of Cliffside’s suites are crafted from solid materials, including brass, stainless steel, and bronze. Every item shown in the suite has a letter code, referencing the catalog page on which the item can be found. Customers have said that showing the hardware suites in the beginning of the catalog helps their clients to visualize the complete look of the job and facilitates decision-making.

Immediately following the suites is the complete breakdown of Cliffside’s product line. Each item is shown in all of its available finishes on the same page, and are shown on a white background for easy color comparison. For example, on page 17, you will find the 110 series knob in all of its available finishes. The clean look of the white page allows a truer interpretation of each finish color, repeated again for each page of solid brass knobs, latches, and cup pulls.

Beginning on page 24, you can see Cliffside’s new solid brass pull sets; each is shown in all available finishes in its 3″cc size, with the 8″cc and 12″cc sizes shown for proportion. You can now see up to thirty pieces of hardware on just one page of our catalog! Additionally, we offer suggestions on each page for coordinating cup pulls to complete your look.

If you are interested in Cliffside’s solid brass hinges, look no further than pages 34 to 46! Our 2010 catalog includes an expanded hinge line with several new products, as well as several classic hinges in new finishes. Our hinge specifications have grown to three whole pages to provide the most comprehensive information for your hinge purchase.

Just added to our hardware line is our builders’ hardware, which involved expanding, improving, and unifying several different Cliffside product lines. There are four finishes available in the builders’ line, which are shown on pages 52 and 53 of our catalog; several new products are available in this line, including the all-new Z211-96 and the addition of finishes to the 813-B knob  and 1040-B pull.

As in our previous editions, this catalog has several pages devoted to Cliffside’s top-selling special-order hardware, including European lead crystal and novelty items. Check out Cliffside’s website in the near future for our continually expanding line of novelty products.

How can I get literature for my customers?

To give your customers a more streamlined selection, small literature flyers are available.

If you need literature for customers, please contact Cliffside or make a literature request through our website. We are proud to say that we are the only company in our industry who is providing a full-line magazine-style catalog for our dealers to distribute to their clients. We have premium-grade catalogs for designers and manufacturers to use in their showrooms and shops, and we also offer a separate customer magazine that can be distributed without fear of losing your original book.

Our customer magazine contains the same 68 pages as our regular premium-grade catalog; it is simply a slightly smaller size, and is printed on a magazine-quality paper. This allows your clients to take home the same literature that they see in your showroom. If they have a question, they can call you directly; their catalog page numbers will be the same as yours, so it’s easy to cross-reference! They can also use their magazine in conjunction with our website, as you can, but they’ll never see your prices!

If your customer is indecisive about the full hardware line, you can also request small flyers which limit the hardware selection; these concise product supplements show four of our solid brass hardware suites, the stainless steel suite, and the Sedona line, as well as the finishes in which the solid brass hardware is available.

Can I get more literature for my showroom?

If you need additional literature, please contact us or make a literature request through the website. If you have any questions on literature you have received, Cliffside’s customer service staff is ready and willing to assist; our hours are 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM ET.
