Baldwin incorporates Microban technology into seven of its Spyglass Collection door hardware options.
Baldwin Hardware announces the launch of seven products in its Spyglass Collection that feature antimicrobial Microban technology on a black matte finish. The products are the first in the company's Prestige Series door hardware line that includes the technology.
The seven Spyglass handlesets, levers, and deadbolts with SmartKey feature a layer of antimicrobial product protection built into the coating that allows the hardware to inhibit the growth of many types of common bacteria on the surface, according to PJ Rosch, senior brand manager for Baldwin Hardware. “During this time of increased awareness of the amount of bacteria on surfaces, we are thrilled to be able to add this technology for continuous, effective defense against bacterial growth for the life span of the matte black Spyglass hardware," Rosch says.
On a typical unprotected doorknob or lock, stain- and odor-causing bacteria can double in number every 20 minutes. Microban technology works continuously to keep Baldwin door hardware cleaner for longer, Rosch explains, providing non-stop antimicrobial product protection. Microban will not wash off or wear away between routine cleanings or from daily use.
The Prestige Series also includes the company's innovative SmartKey Security re-key technology, allowing users to re-key locks whenever needed, without replacing the entire lock. The flexibility to re-key locks at any time, whether for convenience or security reasons, increases safety and allows for one-key convenience.
The Spyglass products available in matte black finish with Microban technology include exterior handlesets, passage, privacy, dummy, entry levers, and deadbolts. Products are available at homedepot.com, lowes.com, Wayfair, Build, and Amazon.
