About Us

Established in 2002, Acorn Architectural Ironmongery has built up a formidable reputation as one of the leading architectural ironmongery companies specifying architectural ironmongery and other associated products throughout the UK.

Our dedicated sales teams are well aware of the right product selection process needed to meet the ongoing architectural needs on each type of project, such
as the specially adapted and manufactured Bronze ironmongery supplied to the Howard Theatre Downing College in Cambridge or to more traditional ironmongery designs which are available in a variety of architectural finishes.

Our ongoing experience and expertise has allowed us to continue working with architects and specifiers on projects as diverse and varied as mentioned above, offering the complete ironmongery solution incorporating not just the door ironmongery but also card access control, automatic door operators, steel doors and balustrade systems.
