Often, the most impressive case studies aren’t just the newest buildings, they are the ones that stand the test of time. In these projects, unwavering reliability is the true point of distinction. Schlage Verta hardware demonstrates this perfectly. Durable and elegant, it delivers consistent performance in spaces as diverse as a much-loved holiday home and a heavy-use fishmonger.
Sieglaar House is a multi generational holiday house and long running Airbnb located at one of the North Island’s most popular beaches. The property endures heavy, continual use and constant exposure to salt spray and coastal weather. Similarly, Sanford & Sons Fishmonger in Auckland’s Wynyard Quarter sits 30m from the North Wharf Promenade — a corrosive, high traffic marine environment where hardware is subject to daily use and harsh conditions.
The owners selected the Schlage Verta Series because of its marine grade 316 stainless steel construction and broad range of fittings. Schlage Verta was specified across timber interior hinge and sliding doors as well as external aluminium doors and windows to provide consistent performance and appearance where it mattered most.
The Schlage Verta series brings cohesive design and proven durability to this beautiful coastal holiday home.
After more than nine years at Sieglaar House, interior and exterior handles show minimal wear and, importantly, no rusting or pitting commonly seen in salt spray zones.
Schlage Verta stands the test of time at Sanford & Sons Fishmonger in Auckland’s Wynyard Quarter.
Sanford and Sons Fishmongers buildings have been an iconic part of the foreshore since 1894, so choosing products for their 2018 refurbishment that would stand the test of time for their next chapter was pivotal. Since then, the doors have operated flawlessly, reliably welcoming visitors under the demands of heavy, daily foot traffic.
The Schlage Verta Series delivers a cohesive aesthetic across any market. With a complete range of levers, pull handles, cavity sliders, and window fasteners, you can match hardware seamlessly throughout a home or building. For those wanting a different look than the projects shown, the full collection is also available in a premium PVD black finish.
Together these installations demonstrate Schlage Verta’s ability to combine robust corrosion resistance with refined design, making it suitable for both coastal residences and demanding commercial environments.
