A mahogany door deserves more than a generic handle. Hardware is the point of contact between the hand and the wood. It must rise to the level of the material it accompanies. At MICHELENA, we distribute a selection of luxury hardware from the most respected manufacturers worldwide. Hand-forged iron, solid brass, aged bronze, brushed stainless steel. Every piece is chosen for build quality, durability and aesthetics. This is not a generic catalog. It is a collection curated by a door manufacturer who understands the demands of wood.

Needs vary by door type. An exterior entry door requires a multipoint lock and a weather-resistant handle. An interior door calls for a discreet mechanism and a finish consistent with the rest of the home. Our role is to guide the choice.
Wrought iron for classic entries and wine cellar doors. Solid brass or bronze for a traditional, warm look. Brushed or polished stainless steel for contemporary installations. Matte black chrome for minimalist designs. Finishes are selected to withstand daily use without tarnishing or corroding.
The selection below is representative. Our full catalogue is more extensive, and our advisors present the options suited to your project on request.
Buying hardware at a general hardware store or online is possible. Here is what the MICHELENA approach brings differently.
Every piece of hardware we distribute has been tested on our doors. Mortise depth, panel thickness, leaf weight. No risk of incompatibility at installation.
We know how each species responds to hardware. Mahogany reacts differently from oak during drilling. Walnut requires pretreatment before installation. This knowledge prevents costly mistakes.
Hardware is ordered, drilled and installed as part of the manufacturing mandate. No separate order, no separate delivery, no on-site drilling.
Beyond distribution, we provide advisory and coordination so every piece of hardware integrates perfectly with the door.
Four steps to choose and integrate hardware on the door or cabinet.
Discussion of door style, required mechanism type and budget. Presentation of brands and finishes suited to the project.
Physical sample presentation. Validation of the model, finish and color in context with the door species.
Order placed with the manufacturer. Door drilling and mortising done in our St-Eustache workshop before delivery. No drilling work on site.
Hardware is installed when the door is fitted. Mechanism adjustment, clearance check and functional test on site.
Hardware raises different questions depending on whether it is ordered alone or with doors. Five answers cover the majority of situations.
Yes. Hardware is available independently from doors. That said, for clients who order MICHELENA doors, hardware is drilled and installed at the factory, which guarantees an optimal result.
More than 35 decorative and functional hardware brands. The selection covers classic, contemporary and minimalist styles, in a variety of materials: wrought iron, brass, bronze, stainless steel and matte black chrome.
In most cases, yes. Drilling and mortise standards are universal for doors 1¾ to 2¼ inches thick. For non-standard doors, a compatibility check is recommended.
Yes. The brands we distribute offer finishes resistant to corrosion, UV and freeze-thaw cycles. Stainless steel, bronze and treated brass are the materials best suited to exterior doors in Quebec.
Yes. Samples are available at our St-Eustache workshop. For larger mandates, we can bring a sample selection directly to the site or the designer’s office.
Tell us about the door or cabinet. Type, species, architectural style. Our team presents a fitted hardware selection and prepares a detailed quote.
The whole MICHELENA team is taking a well-deserved break.
To mark the construction holidays, we will be closed from 17 July to 2 August.
We look forward to seeing you again on 3 August to continue working on your projects.
Thank you for your trust, and have a great holiday!
