Main Line Architectural Hardware was founded in 2007 as Allentown Architectural Hardware in Emmaus, PA. With demand from our clients, and push from our vendor partners, we moved our showroom to Philadelphia's Main Line in late 2014. We are located at 1712 E. Lancaster Avenue, Paoli, PA 19301. Allentown Architectural Hardware was founded by Louis Bunnick in 2007.
Prior to opening the showroom, Mr. Bunnick was marketing director for Baldwin Hardware in Reading, PA for 8 years. At Baldwin, he was responsible for new product development and identification of style and finish trends in the residential building and interior design markets. At Baldwin, his teams launched the Pasadena, Richland, Lakeshore, Bethpage and other trim styles, and finishes such as Venetian Bronze.

Services
We are the hardware experts - Philadelphia's best source for premium door, window, cabinet, and accessory hardware. We pay attention to detail.

All types of hinges: We offer standard hinges, wide-throw, lift off, pivot and Harmon hinges. We offer concealed hinges that can carry a 660-lb. Pocket doors or barn doors?
Online images of finishes are not the best at showing the true appearance or the various color tones. Come see for yourself. We might not have the exact style/finish combination on hand, but we will have both the style and the finish for you to see and feel. Lacquered - The applied matte or gloss lacquer will provide years of durable protection, maintaining the original finish appearance.
If you require, we can provide custom hardware designs to your specification in brass, bronze, iron, or stainless steel. Let's talk about your design. A review will help us determine the best manufacturing method, and if the design needs to be modified to make manufacturing more efficient. Finish requirements can also influence the manufacturing process.

I can't believe I've lived in the area for 25 years, renovated 6 homes, and only just discovered this gem. Wow. What a selection and the owner (Lou) is incredibly knowledgeable and patient. You have to have an appointment and he doesn't allow photos to be taken (he explained that people used to come in, take up his time, take a photo, and then try and find it elsewhere or online). Having looked at just about every other showroom in the area - it's doubtful you could find what he sells anywhere else. So excited about finding this place, I had to share.
