Casement Handle - Bolt Handle.

These are referred to as either Casement Handles or Bolt Handles and the traditional set up is shown below.



A customer has a site where the handle part has been broken off - the one below is the complete sample unit.


So, a close replica of the handle part was made - and are currently at the anodisers.
Will put up pics of the finished item when they come back.

Crittall Spring Catch

Many years back, this would have been a stock item, with a part code of 05/00009/061 and was used on Crittall Pivot Windows and Bottom Hung Windows.

As they are all now long gone, these are some I made earlier! :)

Crittall Window Spring Catch.

Being in the middle of another project, it was time for some shots of the progress!




So, dug out the camera and because I was keen to get them to the platers, very quickly put it together and took some images, before rushing off to get them sorted!
Went to look at the images. . . . the pin is back to front!
Doh!!

Back next time, plated at with the pin fitted the right way!

Muppet!

Custom Slide Stay Conversion.

Some old slide stays on site - some were missing completely, some had missing parts and the customer didn't want to do any modifications, he just wanted to fit them on and walk away.























A standard stay was used and the top bars cut down to match the hole centres of the originals.
A patch plate converted the standard lower bracket fixing centres and height to the same as the original.
That way, there was no drilling, just a straightforward fit.

Duplex Studs - Just a small job!

This is post number 101, I never thought that when I started this blog, I would get to 100, let alone start heading towards 200!! : )

Just a small job today.
These were made to replace missing studs for a Duplex Handle Set.
I think they were removed for decoration and when the time came to put them back, the studs had gone!

Another custom folding opener.

And. . . . yet another one!!

A really weird setup on the window - nothing standard would fit, so I ended up with this - to get the job done.

Not what you would call the most ideal solution but needs must!

Folding Opener - Custom Job.

Another interesting project.

















This was sent to me, following an image that was emailed.
This was the image.



As you can see, a bit of an odd set-up.

So, I took a standard folding opener and removed the upper and lower brackets.



Using the sample lower bracket, a replica was made.




Put the whole thing together and end up with this.



The ring is on the top, as there was a trap point with the original set-up and I'm told that this works much better now.
