Inox has a new powder-coat finish for its stainless steel door levers, pulls, deadbolts, push/pull plates, and panic devices. The Inox MicroArmor Antimicrobial Coating is infused with silver ions, which attach to microbes’ cellular enzymes to inhibit growth, according to the manufacturer, reducing the spread of bacteria, fungi, or mold on the hardware. The coating and silver ions are applied and integrated during the manufacturing process, which Inox says ensures that the coating will not wear away or lose effectiveness. Pricing ranges from $28 to $108 for residential hardware. inoxproducts.com
