Monaco Titanium Black Knurled PVD Door Handles

Durable Titanium Finish with PVD Coating

The Monaco Titanium Black handles feature a premium PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating that provides exceptional durability and corrosion resistance—critical for Australian coastal and humid climates. Unlike traditional plating, PVD creates an ultra-hard, ultra-durable surface that resists salt spray, moisture, and UV exposure. The titanium black finish adds a sophisticated, modern aesthetic to any architectural project while maintaining functional reliability for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is PVD coating and why does it matter for door handles?

A: PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a premium coating process that creates an ultra-durable, corrosion-resistant surface. Unlike traditional electroplating, PVD is significantly more resistant to salt spray, moisture, UV exposure, and scratching. For Australian conditions—especially coastal and humid climates—PVD is the gold standard for architectural hardware durability. Monaco's PVD-coated titanium black finish will maintain its appearance for 15+ years with minimal maintenance, making it a long-term investment.

Q: Are Monaco handles suitable for outdoor/exterior use?

A: Yes. In fact, the PVD coating makes Monaco exceptionally suitable for exterior doors, coastal properties, and high-moisture areas. Many architects specifically specify Monaco for projects in salt spray exposure zones (within 5km of coastline) and humid regions. The titanium black finish is proven to outperform standard plating in these challenging environments.

Q: How do I clean and maintain Monaco Titanium Black handles?

A: Maintenance is simple. Regular cleaning requires only a soft cloth and clean water. The PVD coating eliminates the need for special polishes, sealers, or protective products. Avoid abrasive cleaners and steel wool, which can damage the PVD surface.

Q: What's included in each kit option?

A: Kits are available upon request. Right now this product is for the set of lever handles. To add items like tube latch, or a mortise lock please get in touch with our team and we can put together a tailored quote that is right for your project. There is no project too big or small.

Q: Will these handles fit my existing Australian door frames?

A: Monaco handles are designed to fit standard Australian door frames with thicknesses of 35-50mm and work with most common Australian lock systems. Before ordering, verify your door thickness and lock type. If you're uncertain, photos of your current door setup will help us confirm compatibility. We're here to help—contact our team with any questions.

Q: What's the difference between Monaco and your other titanium finish options?

A: The knurled (textured) grip design of Monaco provides superior ergonomics, prevents hand slip in wet conditions, and adds a sophisticated visual detail compared to our smooth-finish options. The PVD coating durability is identical across all our titanium ranges. Choose Monaco if you prefer a tactile, premium grip; choose smooth finishes if you prefer a sleeker, completely smooth aesthetic. Both are equally durable.

Q: How long is the warranty, and what does it cover?

A: Monaco includes a 15-year warranty against coating failure, corrosion, and tarnishing under normal residential use. This means if the titanium black finish shows signs of peeling, corrosion, or discoloration within 15 years, we'll replace the handles at no cost (excluding shipping in some cases). For commercial or heavy-use applications, contact us to discuss extended warranty options.

We also have the Monaco in Titanium Copper on sale at the moment as well if you're looking for other finishes.
