Design and Fabrication
The First Impressions line is designed to provide a wide range of styles and options, allowing customers unique solutions for many types of applications. Our design strategy is largely driven by you, our customers, and what you value. Good design also requires sound engineering behind every product, which is why we use state of the art CAD-based systems allowing us to produce highly custom products while insuring our quality control meets precise tolerance level requirements.
Our craftspeople: casters, welders, machinists, assemblers, finishers and inspectors alike, are dedicated to the idea that each product will provide a lifetime of solid performance. Because form is nothing without flawless performance.
Material and Finishes
First Impressions offers a wide range of different materials, including solid and plated metals, exotic woods, glass, clear and colored acrylics, crystal and other options to ensure that your door hardware makes the right impression.
The same goes for our wide range of finishes, which can be specified for appearance (colors, sheens, antiquing) as well as function (weather resistance, heavy usage).
Our website contains some pre-selected options, however, these may only be a starting point for your design. As you design your hardware, we will notify you of available options and give you CAD drawings to help you along the way.
If you can imagine it, we can do it!
Delivery
We'll provide a delivery schedule when you place your order, but standard products typically ship within two weeks of your order. We offer ground and expedited delivery options to meet your requirements.
Customization
Absolutely EVERYTHING you find in our gallery can be customized. Whether you need a basic dimension change or a comprehensive overhaul, all you have to do is click the “Let's get started on your custom job!” button you’ll see throughout the site.
Customers often ask us to manufacture bespoke products they’ve designed themselves. Sometimes they want handles bearing logotypes, monograms, or castings of the very products they sell inside their business. We have created hardware for some very well-known brands, Chanel, Van Cleef and Arpels, Hard Rock, Disney, Tommy Bahama, Ugg, Johnston & Murphy and Ritz Carlton to name a few.
