Another year!

Hi!

Been a while since I was here - lots of things to do before Christmas
and a few more when we got back, so hopefully I will be back soon 
with more stuff to look at.

See you next time.

Teleflex Midi Drive.

Just taken these shots for a customer, so I thought I 
would share them.

This is what a Teleflex Midi drive unit looks like 
with the cover off.

Bespoke Window fittings at Widmerpool Hall

I came across these window fittings a while ago, whilst looking
for something else - usually the case.
I do have images of the fittings on the windows, somewhere!
I will try and find them out for another time.

Widmerpool Hall was the home of the AA Patrol Service Training School,
from the 1950's, up to a few years ago, when it was turned into 
luxury apartments.

I got involved with the job via the main contractor, who was very
keen to replicate the window fittings.

These are the two main items, although there were others, which
I may find another time








When I come across the other parts and the images I  took,
I will post those up as well.

Heywood Williams Window Handles

Heywood Williams have been making commercial and domestic
windows for many years and a lot of these were fitted in
Schools, Colleges, Hospitals, Social Housing, Civic Buildings etc.
A great deal of these 30 - 40 year old windows are still in service.
Below is a selection of some of the handles fitted to the earlier series.
I will do the rest of what we have, next time.
Any questions, contact metalwindowparts@gmail.com

Pace 340 and Pace 620.

Pace Architectural was based in West Bromwich for many years
and was then acquired by Caldwell Hardware, who took on
board the range of fittings they made.
This included the now, industry standard folding openers, 
along with Spring Catches, Pivots, Locking Units, Hinges,
Handles and a range of "Fireman's Axe" fittings.

I took on board the Fireman's Axe fittings, Handles and
Locking units, some time ago and a good part of
the range is still produced.

The detail below shows a Pace 340 Locking unit
and a 620 Handle.

I will do more Pace fittings, another time.
