No. What you have is a steel door handle that's been plated with
nickel then brass plated over that.

Skeptical?

Hold a magnet against the handle. Brass is non-magnetic (that's why
compasses and stuff are made of brass).


The magnet won't stick to it.


Ah, okay. It's aluminum (plated with nickle then plated with brass). Or
wood.
