General & product offering
Opitome supplies a complete range of architectural hardware for doors, windows, and cabinetry. From handles, hinges, and locks to sliding door systems and bespoke statement pieces, we source and deliver hardware packages that are both highly functional and beautifully designed.
Yes — providing accurate, project-specific hardware schedules is at the heart of what we do. Our team carefully reviews drawings and specifications to create fully coordinated schedules that streamline the design and installation process.
Absolutely. We regularly work with designers and architects to develop bespoke hardware tailored to their vision. Whether it’s a custom finish, a unique handle design, or a complete one-off piece, our team manages the design, prototyping, and supply process seamlessly.
We offer an extensive palette of finishes, including polished and satin metals, bronzes, antique treatments, PVD coatings, and powder-coated options. Our curated material selection allows us to complement any design scheme, from contemporary minimalism to heritage restoration.
Yes — we can specify products and finishes designed for challenging environments such as coastal properties or spa settings. Our expertise ensures that your hardware not only looks exceptional but also performs reliably in demanding conditions.
Specification & technical
Yes — our consultancy service specialises in hardware specification. We work closely with architects and designers to ensure every detail is technically sound, aesthetically aligned, and fully coordinated across the project.
We can provide technical drawings and data sheets on request. Although fully dimensioned CAD files are not always available from our manufacturers due to design protection, our focus is always on providing the level of technical detail your team needs to integrate hardware smoothly into the design process.
Yes — compliance is fundamental to every project we undertake. We specify products that meet or exceed UK building regulations, fire door ratings, and relevant performance standards, giving you peace of mind that your project is fully protected.
Our team carefully coordinates every element of the hardware package. We review drawings, check product interfaces, and pre-empt issues before they reach site. This meticulous approach ensures a seamless fit and avoids costly delays during installation.
Yes — we frequently advise on inclusive design and can recommend hardware that meets DDA requirements without compromising on aesthetics. Our expertise ensures that accessibility is considered early and integrated elegantly into the design.
Ordering & logistics
Lead times vary depending on the product, but we always provide clear guidance at quotation stage. The majority of items are made to order and many standard items can often be delivered within 3-4 weeks, while bespoke or specialist pieces typically require longer. Our team proactively manages timelines to keep your project on track.
We operate a hybrid approach — some core lines are held in stock, while others are made to order. This ensures you benefit from both quick access to essentials and the flexibility to specify unique finishes or custom pieces.
Yes — we regularly coordinate deliveries in line with construction and fit-out schedules. By phasing shipments, we help reduce site storage requirements and ensure the right hardware arrives exactly when it’s needed.
Yes — door by door packaging is offered as standard and all items are labelled and delivered matching codes supplied in our specification schedule. Our packaging service is designed to save contractors time and prevent errors on site. Each package is clearly labelled per door, room, or area, making installation straightforward and efficient.
Support & services
Yes — our technical team is available to support you both remotely and on site. We pride ourselves on being responsive and proactive, helping resolve any challenges quickly to keep installation running smoothly.
Yes — samples can be provided for review, mock-ups, or client approval. We understand the importance of touch, scale, and finish in design decisions and are happy to supply samples to support the creative process.
Absolutely. We act as a central point of contact, liaising with joiners, contractors, and site teams to ensure the hardware package is implemented correctly. This hands-on support is one of the reasons clients trust us to deliver complex projects with ease.
