H. Theophile’s extensive range of custom door hardware is made-to-order and is the leading choice for the world’s top architects and designers. Diverse historical and contemporary hardware designs as well as coordinating trims and mechanisms are engineered in our New York studio. Our production team includes mechanical engineers, specialized machinists, craftspeople, and artists in New York and New England.

Minimalist geometric forms, perfectly machined and finished, approach fine art. H.Theophile's modern hardware collection includes interchangeable components and finishes.

The detail and finish quality of H. Theophile's historical reproductions are unsurpassed as seen in this suite of neoclassical handles and pulls with beaded and filigreed details in matte gold. Hand-chased anthemion motifs frame a ruby red rock crystal cabinet pull.

Special production techniques and materials - lost-wax casting, sterling silver repoussé, hand-blown glass, and machined Corian to name a few - create diverse designs and styles. Two exemplary custom design prototypes above: cast, artisanal door fittings in aged, distressed brass and a silver repoussé geometric knob.

A project management team, engineering-focused with deep industry experience and high levels of technical expertise, can support the highest standards of production and installation. Numerous high-profile projects have come to depend on H. Theophile for collaboration in the field and in the design process.

H. Theophile's collection of handles, hinges, mechanisms, and cabinet hardware includes numerous designs -- both historical and contemporary -- unique in the industry and known for the aesthetics of proportion and quality of hand-finishing.

Our studio also features antique handles, fittings and mechanisms which not only inform the details of reproductions and adaptations, but often become springboards for new designs and products. We continually update the catalog with new designs and antiques including designs by Ruhlmann, Ponti, Behrens, and Gropius. If you're in New York, please schedule a showroom visit.
