BUILD Q1 2025 The Road to Success Hiatt Hardware began as a family business in 1982, supplying door handles and hardware to large DIY retailers, construction contractors and interior design firms. Today it also sells direct via its e-commerce channel, which has expanded significantly in the past decade. The business’s diversification into online retail created an important additional revenue stream that helped accelerate growth, taking door handles and other hardware products directly to the consumer marketplace. A core tenet of their success, Hiatt supplies door handles that DIY consumers and traders want, offering contemporary designs, consistent product quality and genuine value for money. Ankesh Agrawal, Hiatt Director explains: “We understand our customer base. We know it’s made up of a wide range of people with equally wide ranging needs. That’s why we offer door handles and other hardware products that meet those diverse demands, from very high quality premium handles for luxury-end interiors, to utility door handles, to good quality products for DIYers on a tighter budget. It’s important to have that full product mix.” Door Handle Designs Door handles can create and accentuate the feel and ambience of a home or work space. The right door handles, in the right style and finish can create harmony, make a bolder statement or indeed become a main feature of an interior design. Hiatt’s door handle designs are often supplied in a variety of versions, as well as with latch, key lock and bathroom thumbturn options, whether lever-style or door knob. Their product offering goes from the kind of handles you might find in high-end homes, hotels or plush offices, to doors where utility and compliance are the main concern, such as in shared housing accommodation and public areas in residential buildings, in terms of security and fire safety. Hiatt offers many door handle types and styles, from traditional period through to early and mid-20th century modern, to contemporary rustic or industrial, with Hiatt’s Kensington and Whitby lines setting the bar for aesthetic design and manufacturing quality. Nipun Agrawal, Hiatt Director elaborates: “Our popular premium handles and knobs include knurled, ringed, reeded and fluted designs, as well as traditional Victorian, Gothic and Georgian styles, and of course the ever-popular, clean lines of modern, minimalist handles.” “Wood is popular too, especially in reeded knob designs such as ebonised beehive and Edwardian styles. And ceramic door knobs can offer a vintage or traditional look, with painted flowers and ringed patterns, and glass door knobs are very much on trend right now.” Best DIY Hardware Products Retailer 2025 - Hiatt Hardware (UK) Hiatt Hardware is the UK’s leading door handle specialist providing consumers and businesses with handles, knobs and other door furniture.
