How come some locks in Oil Rubbed Bronze finish look different than other Oil Rubbed Bronze locks?
Oil Rubbed Bronze finish is a “Live” finish that will change over time. Unlike other finishes (like Brass or Chrome) there is not a standard Oil Rubbed Bronze finish, instead it’s a manufactured process that is applied over brass. This is why there are different shades of Oil Rubbed Bronze and why no two Oil Rubbed Bronze finishes will be ever truly be the same. That process will vary even more from manufacturer to manufacturer … chances are that an Oil Rubbed Bronze lock from one manufacturer will not look exactly like an Oil Rubbed Bronze lock from another manufacturer. In addition while most of the product pictures on our site come from the manufacturers themselves, unfortunately not all finishes translate exactly the same over the Internet. So please be aware that due to the natural differences and limitations of computer displays, product finishes may not always exactly match as shown on your computer screen.
