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.
