Hardware that combines durability and timeless design elevates every door into a statement of quality and style.

Copper Creek makes this possible, embodying true innovation and enduring quality.

A leading hardware company, it crafts door and bath fittings characterized by superior craftsmanship and exceptional value. Raising the standard of everyday hardware, it blends competitive pricing with great ingenuity.

Committed to solving industry-wide problems such as lack of innovation, poor service and declining material quality, Copper Creek has become the trusted name that redefines what the lock industry should be. It was founded in response to an opportunity to reimagine product designs, placing client relationships at the heart of everything it does. It adapts and responds to client needs with a speed and agility that larger competitors often cannot match.

“We treat our clients as family. We can make quick decisions and provide personal, attentive service,” says Tae Lee, principal and founder.

Low return rates and glowing customer reviews are rooted in its proven track record of consistently delivering high-quality products. A comprehensive one-stop shop for all door hardware needs, it seamlessly addresses common product limitations in the industry.

Door locks are its core offering. A variety of builder-grade door hardware, including handlesets, deadbolts, interior hardware and electronic locks, is tailored for commercial and residential clients and multi-family buildings.

Montana Forge, Copper Creek’s high-end designer door hardware line, is celebrated for its architecturally inspired aesthetics. It is crafted with premium, component-based construction and features thoughtful details like concealed screws and a ‘convenience latch’ with a short 28-degree rotation for easy use.

Reflecting luxury, the product line uses premium materials like solid forged brass and solid cast metals, and each piece combines top-tier features with the finest available finishes.

Beyond its products, Copper Creek delivers expert consultation and support for builders, designers and suppliers, ensuring clients have the right hardware, exactly when they need it.
