Sobinco, Turner Fain

I came across these, the other day.
A job that goes back two or three years ago.




 This was a bit of a challenge!

These are from Turner Fain Windows and are unique to their system.
The original parts were failing and there was nothing else that would fit.
The frames and glazing were all in good order, so it was decided by our
client that the only course of action, was to re-make the part.

They could have been made of brass but I decided that Stainless Steel
would be the material, on this occasion.
I think if I had to do them again, I would go for brass!!!

Live and learn!

Next. . . . .

Kilian Roller Wheels.

Kilian Rollers were made in Canada and used on older patio doors.

Over time, wear and tear takes its toll and the panel slowly starts
to drop lower and lower.

These are replacements, that are made to fit in the same way as
the originals and will then give the door a new lease of life.

Sash window poles and Packers.

A couple of slightly different jobs, for this post.

The first one is a replica window pole job.
These were made for a range of aluminium vertical sliding sashes,
which had a socket in the top sash, in order to operate it with a
pole, therefore saving the need of a handy chair!!!


















































The ball pushed into the socket, allowing it to push up and down,
without jumping out of the socket and then the sash was in the 
desired position, it was gently extracted, allowing the ball to come
out of the socket.

The other recent job was a simple packer - nothing more and
nothing less.




















That's all for this time.
