Built to Outlast the Home It Lives In
Our Story.
At Potomac Standard, we believe the true measure of a home lies in its details—the weight of a door handle, the finish on a hinge, the quiet permanence of something made to outlast the home it lives in.
Most hardware—even the expensive kind—is a compromise. Thin walls, coated surfaces, materials chosen for margin rather than longevity. Even $400 — “Brass Finish” is rarely solid brass. We refuse that compromise.
Materials That Endure
Our products are solid 304 stainless steel, brass, and titanium—made in Miami. Nothing is coated. Nothing is hollow. With a focus on products that can are able to be refinished and passed down for generations. Our standards come from aerospace engineering and fine watchmaking for our standards—not our competition. The same obsession with tolerance, finish, and material integrity that defines a Swiss movement or a turbine blade is what we bring to a door handle.
The Potomac
My grandfather, David, served in the Army, built a career, and spent his later years raising therapy dogs — bringing them to hospitals, nursing homes, and Ground Zero after September 11th.
He was also a craftsman — building things correctly, from materials that meant something, with no interest in cutting corners.
When he passed in 2020, that part of our family went quiet. In 2023, we decided it shouldn't stay that way. Potomac Standard is how we bring it back.
