Grandeur Hardware
Get a grip — Exterior door hardware that is exposed to humidity, sunlight and freezing temperatures, and also to frequent use, will need to be replaced more often than indoor hardware. Besides obvious rust and corrosion, being hard to open or close is another sign a door may need new hardware.
Wedding drives M.O.B to become ‘unhinged’ over door hardware
There comes a time when all good homeowners need to replace their outdoor hardware. The week before your daughter’s wedding is not the time.
power washed to get rid of calci ed crud and abandoned spider webs. I’d replaced the worn-out front and back doormats, and I’d replanted all the outdoor owerpots with owers that were actually living.
As if I didn’t have enough to do planning a wedding celebration for family and friends coming from all over, I suddenly had an irrepressible need to replace the handles and hinges on my outside patio doors. My perfectionist streak was in overdrive. I not only wanted all the wedding details just right, but I also wanted my house — where I would entertain the new in-laws before the wedding and host breakfast for a mere 50 guests the day a er the wedding — to shine.
I’d already had the exterior of the house
Five days before the wedding, as I was relaxing outside on my back covered patio with my husband, thinking for a brief delusional minute that the house was ready, I noticed the corroded exterior door handles and hinges on the three sets of French doors that opened onto the U-shaped patio. All had rusty crusty hardware that looked like the underside of the Titanic’s anchor. You wouldn’t look so great either if you sat outside day and night in the hot, humid Florida sun for 20 years.
“Holy crud! Our hardware looks terrible!” I exclaimed.
“I agree, but we’re not replacing it now,”

CAR releases its 2025 California Housing Market Forecast
News release
LOS ANGELES — A more favorable interest rate environment that will loosen up the “lock-in” e ect and improve housing inventory will encourage buyers and sellers to return to the market to boost both home sales and prices next year, according to a housing and economic forecast recently released by the California Association of Realtors.
The baseline scenario of CAR’s 2025 California Housing Market Forecast sees an increase in existing single-family home sales of 10.5% next year to reach 304,400 units, up from the projected 2024 sales gure of 275,400. The projected 2024 gure is 6.8% higher compared with the pace of 257,900 homes sold in 2023.
The California median home price is forecast to rise 4.6% to $909,400 in 2025, following a projected 6.8% increase to $869,500 in 2024 from $814,000 in 2023. A persistent housing shortage and a competitive housing market will continue to put upward pressure on home prices next year.
“An increase in homes for sale, along with lower borrowing costs, is expected to entice more buyers and sellers to enter the market in 2025,” said CAR President Melanie Barker, a Yosemite Realtor. “Demand will
grow as we start the year with the lowest interest rates in more than two years, particularly for rsttime buyers. Meanwhile, would-be home sellers, held back by the “lock-in e ect,” will have more exibility to pursue a home that better suits their needs as mortgage rates continue to decline.”
CAR’s 2025 forecast predicts the U.S. gross domestic product to slip to 1.1% in 2025, a er a projected increase of 1.9% in 2024. With California’s 2025 nonfarm job growth rate at 1.1%, down from a projected 1.5% in 2024, the state’s unemployment rate will inch up to 5.6% in 2025 from 2024’s projected rate of 5.4%.
In ation will moderate further over the next 12 months, with the CPI registering an annual average of 2% in 2025, down from 2.9% in 2024. As such, the average 30-year, xed mortgage interest rate will decline from 6.6% in 2024 to 5.9% in 2025. While next year’s projected average for the 30-year xed mortgage interest rate will be higher than the levels observed in the few years prior to the pandemic, it will still be lower than the long-run average of nearly 8% in the past 50 years.
Housing supply conditions will continue to improve next year, but a moderate increase rather
than a surge in active listings should be expected in 2025. In the next 18 months, interest rates will decline, the lock-in e ect will loosen up further, and more properties will be released onto the market. Homeowners who have delayed moving and investors who have been waiting for a market bounce-back will put their properties up on the market as they see the rising trend in home prices as an opportunity to sell. While supply in 2025 will remain below the norm by historical standards, active listings will increase slightly above 10% as market conditions and lending environment continue to improve.
“Although inventory is expected to loosen as rates ease, demand will also increase with lower mortgage rates and limited housing supply, which will push home prices higher next year,” said CAR Senior Vice President and Chief Economist Jordan Levine. “Price growth is expected to be slower, but the housing shortage will keep the market competitive outside of big economic shocks, so prices will still rise. Assuming a healthy economy in 2025 that slows but doesn’t shrink, home prices should rise modestly across California, with the state’s median price climbing 4.6% to reach $909,400 in 2025.”

DC said, trying to save me from myself.
“We can’t have our hardware looking like this when company comes!”
“Oh, because everyone who comes over is going to be focused on our hinges,” he says. I ignore this.
“We still have time!” I say.
I text my handyman, Richard. With Richard anything is possible. “We can do the job quickly,” he said, “so long as we have the hardware.”
That’s all I need to hear. We agree that the new hardware should match the nish of the hardware we’re replacing, which matches the hardware throughout the house. Richard diagnoses the
nish as “antique pewter,” an uncommon nish that looks like tarnished silver. He nds and orders leverstyle handles and deadbolts in antique pewter. He can’t, however, nd matching hinges.
Because time is tight, and I am running around like my hair is on re, Richard opts to get “the next best thing,” hinges in oil-rubbed bronze. (These are black.)
Three days before the wedding he’s installing the hardware. When I check on progress, he has all the handles in and two-thirds of the hinges. My eyebrows form a knot when I see the black hinges. He can’t nd antique pewter, he says. I check my tolerance meter to see how much
imperfection I can handle. Zero. I pull out my phone and start searching. He’s amazed when I nd the elusive antique pewter hinges from a lesserknown company. (Never underestimate the Mother of the Bride three days before a wedding.)
“Look!” I point to the phone. “They can be delivered ‘as soon as next day’! Richard gives the thumbs up, and says he’ll be back when the hinges arrive. Meanwhile, the patio area looks worse. It features three mismatched metals (black, corroded and new antique pewter). Plus, each lever handle and corresponding round deadbolt has its own unique set of keys dangling from
them like cheap charms. The keys need to stay like this until a locksmith can rekey the locks, so they t the same key. I add “call locksmith” to the to-do list.
The hinges that could arrive “as soon as next day” arrive the day before the wedding. I start to call Richard. DC gently says, “I wouldn’t.”
“But he can put them in while we’re at the wedding, so they’ll be in before the breakfast,” I say, sounding perfectly reasonable to myself.
DC looks at me as if I he knows I have o cially become unhinged, and says, “No one is going to be looking at the hinges.”
hardware that’s exposed to humidity, sunlight, freezing temperatures and frequent use will deteriorate faster. Besides obvious rust and corrosion, signs you need new hardware include a door that is hard to open or close.
I reluctantly let this sink in. Fine. Fine. Fine. I do not call Richard. The hinges stay in the garage. At the post-wedding breakfast, we throw all the patio doors open so our guests can ow in and out. Nobody can see the mixed metals and trashy key charms. And even if they could, they wouldn’t care.
A week later, my daughter is married. Sanity has returned. Richard is back. And all is right with the world and my patio hardware. Now I just need a locksmith.
Replacing deteriorated outdoor hardware is a worthy task. However, as with any home improvement, assume it won’t go smoothly. Leave time. Here’s what else to know when taking on this project:
Know when to replace. According to hardware experts, the lifespan for hinges and handles can range from a few years to decades, with 10 to 15 years being average. Outdoor
Choose your nish. To make your home look cohesive, match hardware nishes on door locks, levers, knobs and hinges throughout. Available nishes include bright chrome, satin nickel, aged bronze, oil-rubbed bronze, satin brass, antique brass, antique pewter, polished brass and matte black. Pick one and stick with it. Get the size right. If replacing old door hinges, be sure to get the same size and shape. Standard door hinges come in curved or square corner styles, and length can range from 3 1/2 to 6 inches, depending on the heaviness of the door. Mind the brand. When replacing a handle on one side of a door, say the outside, it needs to mesh with the handle on the inside. This will only happen if the handles are from the same manufacturer. Schlage, Kwikset and Baldwin are among the more common brands. Hinges can be any brand.
Unify the locks. If you want all the locks in your home to work with the same key (yes), a locksmith can do that provided all handle hardware is the same brand.
