Forged
Brass is Best.
All Bravura locks are forged, because forging makes
stronger, more durable brass with a better finish. Cast
brass is melted, then poured into a mould. It is softer,
less-dense and can have many imperfections. Cast brass
will also not wear as well as forged brass.
1) We start with a solid ingot of brass, then heat it
red-hot.
2) The red-hot ingot is then put into a polished, metal
die and forged (squeezed) into the desired shape using
600 - 1000 tons of pressure.
3) After the excess metal (flashing) is cut-off, the
forging is inspected, then machined, then inspected
again.
4) Once all the hand-polishing and finishing is complete,
Bravura locks are ready for years of functional beauty
on your home.
