			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the biggest advantages of shopping online is that <strong>you don&#8217;t pay sales tax.</strong> If you shop at a brick and mortar store in your area then you&#8217;ll pay a 6% sales tax on every purchase. You can avoid that by shopping online. Depending on your purchase that 6% can really add up. </p>
<p>Sometimes the cost of the sales tax is just replaced with the cost of shipping. We&#8217;ve helped you avoid that by offering <strong>free shipping on all orders over $35!</strong> The only exception to our free shipping policy is brass bar railing and related accessories. </p>
<p>Avoiding sales tax really helps your bottom line on big ticket items like <a href="http://www.atouchofbrass.com/c-160-handlesets.aspx">handlesets</a> and <a href="http://www.atouchofbrass.com/c-202-fireplace-doors.aspx">fireplace doors</a>.</p>
<p>So save yourself some money! Browse all you want at the local stores but when it comes time to make your purchase, shop online with A Touch of Brass!</p>

You might want a special finish or a particular design and none of the handlesets you see match what you want. The only way to solve those problems is to keep looking until you find what&#8217;s right. Some problems, however, are much simpler to solve. </p>
<p>For example, <strong>the most common roadblock people run into when looking for a handleset is finding one that will fit.</strong></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.atouchofbrass.com/p-8646-baldwin-images-madison-handleset.aspx">Baldwin Madison handleset </a>will fit any front door that is prepped for a tubular lock. This is because it is a  <a href="http://www.atouchofbrass.com/c-339-two-piece-handlesets.aspx">sectional lock</a>, the Madison has no <a href="http://www.atouchofbrass.com/blog/index.php/entry/what-does-center-to-center-mean-for-handlesets-and-cabinet-pulls/">CTC measurement</a>, so fitting it to your door will be no problem.</p>
<p>The Madison comes with an <a href="http://www.atouchofbrass.com/p-8775-baldwin-images-classic-knob.aspx">interior knob </a>or an inter<a href="http://www.atouchofbrass.com/p-8807-baldwin-images-classic-lever.aspx">ior lever</a> and is available in all of Baldwin&#8217;s famous finishes. <strong>If you order the Madison today it will ship within a week and it will ship absolutely free!</strong></p>
