1. Settling for Plated Instead of Solid Brass

Plated brass peels/rusts in 6-12 months (especially humid kitchens/bathrooms). Opt for 100% solid brass (≥1.2mm thick, 80-100g per 64mm pull) – ask for material certificates to verify.

2. Ignoring EU/US Compliance

Non-compliant handles face customs delays. Confirm CE (EN 1906), RoHS, and lead-free certification (≤0.01% lead) for global markets.

3. Mismatched Hole Spacing

Skip re-drilling headaches: Measure existing holes (64/96/128/160mm standard) or confirm custom spacing with suppliers (MOQ ≥50pcs).

4. Wrong Finish for Your Space

Glossy brass clashes with Neo-Chinese minimalism; uncoated brass tarnishes fast. Choose brushed matte (anti-fingerprint) for high-traffic areas, antique patina for traditional decor.
