Without further delay, we reveal our June winner, Steve Blalock!
He added a contemporary solid bronze latch – our Dark Bronze 5″ Arch Plate Lever Latch – to this Arts & Crafts gate with mortise and tenon joinery.
Since bronze doesn’t contain any elements that can rust, this hardware is good to go for the long term. Over time, you can see a green patina (on the copper component), but you won’t see rust. Bronze has a living finish that is never pristine. It’s always reacting to its environment in beautiful and unique ways.
We love seeing all of your photos, especially all the sunny summer ones, so keep them coming!
