Franz Schneider Brakel (FSB)

Franz Schneider Brakel is our premium option for handles. FSB originally started in 1881 in Iserlohn, Germany as makers of antique-style cabinet fittings and devotional items in brass. It was in 1909 that Franz Schneider re-located to Brakel and thus began FSB. As a highly specialized boutique shop, FSB hardware was at the forefront of transforming handles from utilitarian items to elements of design at the turn of the century. Today, FSB handles are high-end designer handles with contemporary and traditional designs made of brass.
