About us

Visit site

Bankston is a thoughtful and consistent lab of design incubation.

Our goal is to identify and collaborate with the best and brightest minds in architecture and design—to explore and produce sought-after, functional, physical objects of exceptional quality.

We like to think of our architectural hardware as the punctuation marks within designed environments—intentionally crafted objects that invite a moment of pause and appreciation before engaging with a space.

Our commitment to design excellence is reflected in our current collections, created in collaboration with YSG Studio, Sans-Arc, Edition Office, and Civilian.

Care Instructions

Caring for your Bankston product is simple and only requires a soft damp cloth to remove stains or fingerprints. For stubborn marks, a non-abrasive cleaning product can be used, but please do so sparingly. Products should be dried immediately after cleaning with a soft dry cloth.

In coastal areas, it is recommended to clean and dry your hardware regularly to remove salt spray which can dramatically increase the tarnishing and aging process. We suggest incorporating this into your regular cleaning routine.

Do not allow your Bankston product, particularly those that are finished with a lacquer, to come into contact with paint thinners or masking tape which may compromise the finish. We recommend always removing your door furniture prior to painting or undertaking maintenance activities to avoid damaging the finish or chipping powder coated products.

Never use solvents, scourers or abrasive cleaning products on your hardware. Doing so will compromise the finish of your Bankston product.

Environmental Focus

Bankston has a responsibility to the communities that support us and the environment that sustains us. Bankston is constantly working to lessen overall environmental impact, from streamlining manufacturing processes, to creating more sustainable packaging and providing online resources. Products are crafted to the highest quality, ensuring their sustained functionality and aesthetics for years to come.

Functionality, Materials & Finishes

The enduring quality of Bankston products is integral throughout the design and manufacturing process. All products are crafted from solid-forged brass, a metal renowned for its durable beauty and inherent warmth. Brass is also anti-microbial and is not susceptible to rust. Various methods are used to create Bankston’s unique finishes. From delicate hand-aged colours, to leading-edge plating techniques that give the finishes unrivalled endurance and clarity.

All Bankston door furniture is fire tested to 2 hours, successfully meeting the requirements of Australian Standard 1530.4:2014 on Firecore doors. Bankston’s vision is to provide customers with an unrivalled combination of quality, price, and durability. Bankston products are a great fit for all residential and commercial projects, offering on-trend designs and finishes with enhanced functionality.
