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.

Prototype Screwjack Brackets

These are shots of a special prototype set of brackets, for double 
action screwjacks - the single hole allows a fixing to go straight 
through 10mm glass, into a patch plate.

 

Monarch Sliding Sash Keeps.

Monarch Windows C330 Vertical Sliding Sash Keep.

The very last of our Monarch keeps went out of the door a few

weeks ago and as there is nothing out there that is even close

to the C330, these are the new replacements.

Old Window Winding Handles.

Many years ago, a lot of high level windows were operated
by winding gear, with a deep cut ACME thread which ran
through a bevel gearbox.

After all of this time, most of the operating handles
have been lost, walked or borrowed on a permanent
basis - never to be seen again!
So, these are some I made recently, which enable the
gear to be used again.

 

Result!!

More bespoke window components next time.

Sash Window Poles.

Quite a few aluminium sliding sash windows, had a groove
on the top rail of the top sash.

You could put your fingers into the groove, if you could reach
it and pull or push the sash with it - mainly ending up with 
broken nails!!

There were some that had a pull handle that would slot into
the groove, which made things a little easier, if. . .  you could 
reach the thing!

So, the best solution is the other option - a pole.

The shape of this pole head means that it is kept within the
groove, no matter if you are pulling or pushing.

Much easier and it will save you a manicure!!! 

Aluminium Door - Hinge Repair.

Never a dull moment!!

Someone turned up at the door with hinges he had already 
taken off, hoping to find some on the same day, for a 25 to
30 year old door.

The right hand one shows what they both looked like
when they arrived - the left hand one shows a trial fit
for washers, after some work with basic hand tools.

Job done!
This should keep the thing going for a little longer.

Parts for Windows - That's what we do!

So many years have passed by, that I'm starting to forget
some of the things that have been done in the past.

This is one of them!

Found in a bag, during the Christmas clearout (found loads 
of other  stuff) and having stared at it for a while, decided
that I hadn't a clue what it was/did!

Here's to finding more odball stuff over the next few months!
