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!

An update on the last post I put up - they are back from the platers.
It seems that the next one I will be doing is this one.
These were fitted to Kawneer Vertical Sliding Sashes, which are the same sashes that we make the Fitch Catch for.
This one.

Back next year with more!!

These are the components that a Spiral Sash Balance
engages into - known as Shoes, Feet or Brackets.
This is a custom job, to re-make the one you see in
the centre of the image.
This is a good example of what can be achieved when
making replica parts.
Off to the platers today - will take another shot when
they return.
Teleflex is a well known manufacturer of control gear,
which is used to operate high level windows.
One of the Teleflex handles has a ratchet on it, to allow
it to be used in a tight space.
This job was to operate Teleflex control gear, that was
mounted behind a secondary glazing panel, so extension
pieces were made to suit the distance required.
That way, the outer windows could be operated without
opening the inner panels.

Another replica hinge job.
The customer had tried various routes to find this hinge
and ended up going around in circles.
I couldn't pin it down, either - so it was decided to copy
one of the good ones that they had.
Machined and then barrelled.
The copy is on the left - the original hinge next to it.
Completed hinges.
Neat!

Yet another unusual job!
Using a whole load of these parts, machined from Aluminium and Nylon,
put them together on lengths of threaded rod and this is what you get.
They are the grilles that go over under-floor heating pipes!
In the image above, you can just see the joint, if you look closely.
Made in three pieces, to make up a complete module of around 2800mm.
Never a dull moment around here!!
Another plastic machining job.
Crescent shaped keeps, for inward opening casement windows.
