Gate Stop Warranty Advisory
The need for a proper gate stop is made apparent when viewing this image of one of our bronze gate handles. The gate stop is an alignment device that can prevent hinge, latch and gate damage and will also help prolong the life of your gate.
If a gate stop is not installed on your gate, the risk of damage to the gate and its hardware is increased and as a result, normal usage of the gate can result in fractured handles and hinges. The image demonstrates the kind of fracture that can occur when a strong gust of wind or a heavy hand closes the gate without a gate stop.
If installing a gate with Coastal Bronze gate hardware, keep in mind the necessity for the Gate Stop to increase the integrity and life of your gate. This simple piece of hardware can help prevent unnecessary damage to your gate and gate hardware. Additionally, using a gate stop ensures the Coastal Bronze warranty remains intact.

What is bronze?
Bronze is an alloy that contains mostly copper, tin and some lead. It's introduction over 5,000 years ago revolutionized metal work and launched the Bronze Age. By adding tin to copper, workers created a metal that was stronger and impervious to corrosion. Bronze artifacts have been found dating from as early as 3,500 BC.
Coastal Bronze Hardware is pure bronze; 90% Copper and 10% Tin.
Is bronze hardware more beautiful?
Moving from the scientific to the aesthetic, we can assess the superiority of bronze as a feature in the landscape. Bronze has a long history of use as the preferred material for outdoor hardware, partly because of its durability but mainly because it weathers so beautifully.
Once installed outdoors, the metallic bronze hardware darkens to an old-penny brown then eventually to a greenish/blue patina. These colors compliment the browns and greens in nature and do not distract from the natural beauty of the landscape.
