As a result of the care taken to investigate and reproduce the hardware at Montpelier, the Mansion now has an incredible collection of very accurately reconstructed locks and handles.  Because evidence was found for almost every room in the Mansion, each door in the Mansion now features faithful reproductions of the types of hardware that the Madisons would have seen and used on a daily basis.
