Amerock offers a wide selection of handles to provide a decorative touch to cabinetry. If you are working with a cabinet that has varying sizes of drawers and cupboards, you may want to consider using a complementary set of both pulls and knobs. Additionally, Amerock offers their handles in a wide selection of materials, designs, colors, and finishes.

Amerock ended the 1960s with another expansion of its physical plant. This time, the addition totaled 95,000 square feet and cost $1 million. The project, which involved several phases, increased the company's office space by 15,000 square feet while boosting manufacturing space by 80,000 square feet. Overall, the total size of the Auburn Street facility grew to 650,000 square feet.

The new finishes are offered on one of Amerock's most universally applied hinges, the 7139 series for traditional self-closing overlay doors. Included are hinges in Hammered Black, Hammered Bronze, Rustic Bronze, Weathered Brass, Champagne and Pewter finishes. Offered in addition to Wrought Iron, Nickel, Polished Brass and other existing finishes for the 7139 series, this expanded selection is intended to coordinate with new Amerock® hardware styles such as the Cyprus™, Divinity™ and Nature's Splendor collections. Each hinge finish matches the knobs and pulls with perfect consistency in hardware color and luster.

In February 1965, Norris Aldeen became president of Amerock. He was at the company's helm when it announced a $32 million merger with New Britain, Connecticut-based toolmaker Stanley Works. Effective August 1, 1966, Amerock became a subsidiary of Stanley. In addition to his role at Amerock, Norris Aldeen became vice-president of the Stanley Works and a member of its board and executive committee. On April 30, 1968, almost two years after the merger occurred, the Federal Trade Commission "filed a complaint charging the merger violated the Clayton Anti-Trust Act and had the potential for cornering the general hardware and cabinet hardware market," as explained in the November 24, 1969 Rockford Register Republic. Amerock contested the FTC's claim, and the issue was not resolved until the 1970s.
