About Carlisle Design Group

Carlisle Brass was established in the mid 80's and has become the UK's number one wholesale distributor of Architectural Ironmongery. The bulk of our products include door handles, door knockers, padlocks, and various other items, the majority of which, are made from solid brass, and are available in a variety of finishes such as chrome, satin chrome and Florentine bronze.

Carlisle Brass is the parent company at the head of a larger group containing three other companies that cover several different markets including: locks and specification door hardware for the commercial sector (Eurospec), high specification switch plates and sockets (Eurolite) and pre-pack for the retail market (Sterling Hardware).

Within the companies there are a number of outstanding brands

Carlisle Brass Ltd:

• Top quality cabinet fittings (Fingertip Design)
• Classic black antique hardware (Ludlow Foundries)
• Exquisite hand finished architectural hardware (Delamain) Luxurious bathroom fittings (DeL'eau)
• Modern Designer levers on rose (Serozzetta)

Eurospec Ltd

• Lock and Latches featuring a reversible bolt (Easi-T)
• Grade 316 stainless steel levers and accessories on a 6mm screw on rose (Steelworx)

The majority of our designs are produced in house and these are registered with the patent office we also own a number of patents. The company prides itself in being able to design its products through its own Computer Aided Design facilities, which ensure that Carlisle Brass has total control of each stage of the design process and subsequent manufacture of its products, making them entirely unique and bespoke.

While each individual brand has the same freedom to innovate as any independent brand, each one benefits from the expertise and the bulk buying and manufacturing power of a large firm such as Carlisle Brass, which means customers can buy the latest new styles without having to pay inflated prices.

This winning formula has seen annual group turnover grow to a total of £30 million. The company's growth has been recognised in the UK by the Guild of Architectural Ironmongers who presented a prestigious award to Carlisle Brass' subsidiary, Eurospec, at the UK Houses of Parliament, for Eurospec's work on the Chelsea Wharf project in London.

The company is ideally situated in the North of England where it employs over 150 people at offices in Carlisle in Cumbria, Blackburn and Preston in Lancashire.
