Berenson Part Number Breakdown

What's in a Number?

Each Berenson Hardware part is assigned a unique number, but those numbers are more than just a label for the part. They contain codes that will tell you:

• What material the part is made from 

• What finish the part is

• How the part is packaged

The graphic on the  right breaks it down for you.
