It’s Fire Door Safety Week 2026! Did you know that a fire door is not considered a valid fire door unless all the ironmongery attached to it is fire rated too?

Fitting non-certified hinges, closers, or locks can compromise the entire door set during a fire. At AC Leigh, we supply fully certified, CE & UKCA-marked fire-rated door closers, intumescent seals, hinges, and latches to keep your building safe and compliant.

Need help with your project?
🔶 Our G*I-qualified architectural ironmongers can write hardware schedules and provide specification

Since 1934, Italian brand has redefined architectural hardware, transforming the humble door handle from a functional necessity into an iconic piece of interior design. Crafted in Brianza, Italy, Valli levers unite sculptural elegance, ergonomic balance, and long-term durability.

Available at AC Leigh, the Valli collection offers specifiers, architects, and interior designers a complete architectural ironmongery system. Featuring advanced, hard-wearing PVD finishes—including Matt Black, Satin Brass, and Antique Brass—alongside matching escutcheons, turn and releases, and accessories, Valli hardware delivers a seamless, design-led finish across any luxury residential or commercial project.

“Guided by a humanist vision and a conscious approach to aesthetics, Valli stands out for its ability to transform ideas into experiences, thanks to collaborations with some of the world’s most extraordinary architects and designers.” - Valli.

“In founding the company that still bears his name, Pasquale Valli imagined the handle as a work of art, a sculpture with its own personality. Not just an industrial mechanism, but the synthesis of function and aesthetics, brought together in a single artefact.” - Valli.

"Some of the world's leading architects and designers have moulded Valli's collections with their visions and suggestions, reinterpreting classic models or igniting the imagination with unconventional and utterly irreverent shapes and solutions. The dialogue with the authors is an extraordinary opportunity to stress the potential of materials, explore the variety of finishes and take the possibilities of form into new territories where design had not yet arrived." - Valli.
