Debuting at KBIS 2026 in Orlando, Fla., Baldwin Hardware introduces a refined 2026 portfolio, reflecting an intentional evolution of the brand’s design language across door, cabinet and architectural hardware.
Created for the professional design community, Baldwin’s 2026 portfolio reflects a commitment to elevated aesthetics, material authenticity and purposeful innovation. Grounded in solid materials, thoughtful proportions and meticulous craftsmanship, these introductions span contemporary door hardware, expanded smart functionality, expressive finishes and refined cabinet offerings, each designed to perform reliably and age beautifully.
“Design at Baldwin is never about trends alone; it’s about creating hardware that feels intentional, performs beautifully and remains relevant for years to come,” said Tim Burdett, head of product development at Baldwin. “With our 2026 introductions, we focused on refining form, material expression and functionality in ways that elevate the everyday experience.”
This year also sees Baldwin further expand its popular Reserve Collection with contemporary-leaning levers, new knobs, roses and deadbolts, along with expanded keyed entry options that allow for greater flexibility while maintaining visual continuity across the door. The introduction of non-lacquered brass (031) brings a living finish to the collection, designed to develop natural patina over time. Functional updates include the expansion of SmartKey (SMC) technology into the C-keyway (SC1) for key-in-lever and key-in-knob applications, as well as a new nickel-plated finished latch bolt available in plain and dead-latch options.
Complementing these introductions, Baldwin continues to expand its smart offerings through select integrations with Level, delivering discreet, design-forward solutions that pair advanced functionality with the Lake Forest, Calif.–based company’s hardware aesthetic.
At KBIS, Baldwin also expands the Gramercy Collection with new gripsets and mechanical and electronic combinations. Offered in smooth or knurled profiles with select split-finish options, Gramercy continues to bridge classic sensibility with modern expression.
Architectural introductions include the Square Barrel Hinges, designed to complement modern and transitional doors with clean geometry and reliable performance, along with new pocket door hardware created to bring architectural clarity and precision to space-conscious interiors.
Baldwin’s cabinet hardware portfolio grows with the introduction of Briarcrest, a refined traditional collection, and the debut of the Bespoke Series. Built around foundational forms and tactile textures, including plain, knurled, fluted and spiraled designs, Bespoke allows for single or dual finish specifications to support mixed-metal interiors.
Rounding out the 2026 introductions is 077 heirloom brass, a solid brass finish designed to age naturally over time. As it develops its characteristic tonal variations, heirloom brass brings warmth, depth and character to both contemporary and traditional spaces and is available across Baldwin’s Estate and Reserve collections.
For KBIS 2026, Baldwin Hardware collaborated with design tastemakers Billy Ceglia, Deana Duffulk and Peti Lau to create a series of interactive vignettes showcasing Baldwin craftsmanship, reflecting the brand’s commitment to forward-thinking design. The designers will be on hand throughout the show, providing insight as attendees explore the complete 2026 Baldwin line, including new product introductions, February 17–19, 2026, at the Orange County Convention Center in booth #W2055.
