greenteQ Viper Bi-Part

greenteQ Viper Bi-Part, well that's what it says in the catalogue!

Came across this image this morning, whilst looking for something else,
so as it's a while since I was here, thought I would post it up.

 

The one at the top is all that can be got now - the next one down is what they 

needed to be, so with a little time and patience, this is the result.

Stainless Keeps and some Brass Work.

Another Stainless job and some Brass parts.

The keeps are copies of an older type, used with the

catch shown on a re-furb job.

The brass domes are Crittall Door Hinge Bearings and

the brass screws are part of 700 that were reduced in size

to 7mm long.

Concern about breaking the glass, I believe was the reason.

Stainless Steel Keeps.

For the last few days, it's been Stainless Steel week!

Everything I'm on at the moment, is in Stainless, so as it is some
time since I was here last, here's a shot of the latest two.

If you have any questions about what we do or what we can
make, drop me a line and I'll come back to you as soon as I can.

Crittall B50 parts.

Crittall not only made Steel Windows, they also made a lot

of aluminium ones, as well. 

One of the most common ones was the B50 Series.

This is an original keep and a replacement part, machined from solid.

Below are a couple of shots of the Crittall Pivot, from the B50 range.

The original ones are now of an age that they are starting to fail, as the

core element was ferrous and has corroded.

The replica that we make has a Stainless Steel core, so should last the

lifetime of the window.

There is also a complex handle mechanism but to date, we have

not made any replacements.

I'm sure that time will come.

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.
