Grorud Pivot G 2450S

Quite often, someone will be looking for and item and stocks are
low or gone completely and on opening the catalogue, you see this.
Items marked Discontinued, Unavailable,Obsolete!



As some items are a unique shape or operate in a certain way, it is
often difficult to convert to something else, without a great deal of work.
So, the best thing to do, is to re-make it, which is what we do with many
things that are obsolete but are still in use, all over the country.
This is one of those items - Grorud Pivot.
We also know them as "CD" Pivots and these were used extensively
over many years.



I will do some more pivots next time.

More parts for Windows.

These are a few more images from projects done some years ago.

This one was for a very old window, with a rotational bar that turned
these hooks into looped keeps

  
This is what the Crittall B50 pivot looks like in a raw state, before painting.


Repro Gibbons Window handles, from a 70's 80's aluminium window.


Gibbons Pivot - a lot of these windows still around.


This was an interesting project - Door rollers off a huge sliding showroom door at a Sytner dealers.



And finally, for this time - Epag Handles, for timber windows.
This was a facinating project, for a HUGE new built house, in a valley that was shared by a property that John Paul Getty owned.
No expense was spared - these handles had to match older ones on other areas in the house, that had be found in France.


See anything you recognise as a part you may need, or you may have something similar, drop me a line.
