I am looking for cabinet knobs and handles on the web. I see a lot of
stuff made from zinc (often plated with brass). Is this a good material of
should I be avoiding zinc.

Thanks.

Solid brass would be better, but much more expensive. Lie most items, there
will be good ones, some not so good ones.

Actually the stuff that lasts forever has multi coats of different
materials. Usually it will say something like evaporative electro coating
or something like that. Many layers so the inner coating electircally
prevent the outer from corroding or tarnishing. My Hunter fans advertised
that type of finish. Next choic would be solid brass.
