Hinges for Metal Window

Yet another hinge copy.

Straight off the machine, ready to assemble.

Put together and ready to go.

The original one would be around 80 to 100 years old - these should keep the window operational for some time to come.

Another Winding Handle.

This is another winding handle for Hope, Arens, Newman, Leggott and possibly a few more besides.

These are the smallest ones we have made, just 63mm from the centre of the handle to the centre of the shaft.


 We seem to be getting more and more demand for these now, as industrial buildings are devloped into dwellings.

Kawneer Handle - Ligature Resistant Conversion.

Another slightly odd job, which we have now done a few times.

We were given std Kawneer Cockspur handles and asked to remove the handle part and reduce it down to what you see. 

It's hard to believe but it is still possible to operate it with finger and thumb.

Replica Brass Handles and Stays - Widmerpool Hall.

Almost five years ago, I did a post about the old AA
headquarters in Nottinghamshire - this one:
Widmerpool Hall 

I mentioned that somwhere there were other images of the work carried out. . . . well, at last. . . . they have turned up! 







As well as all the parts that we did for the windows, we also made a bespoke fender, for one of the sitting rooms.
Lovely place!

Steel Window Beading - Easi-Glaze Beading.

Guess what this is?


Not immediately obvious - It's steel window beading for Crittall and other 
types of steel windows.

Just taken delivery of another load, so thought I would include it on here.

 We carry a lot of this material, including the studs and corners, which 
are shown below.


It is also known as Click on beading, Crittall beading, Easi-glaze beading
and has been used on steel windows for many years.

We have brass bead studs, as well as steel ones, polystuds and we also 
have the bead corners to suit, in round, or angled and the straight bead
corners, which are fitted at the joint of the vertical and horizontal bead.

Window Screwjack and Custom Brackets.

This is the finished item, based on the prototype seen on the last post.

Standard double extending screwjack, with custom brackets, to suit
a special application.


If you have a custom application for screwjacks and the standard
brackets won't do the job - drop me a line and I'll see if I can help.
