custom shower door handle | polished nickel
This shower door pull was fabricated using a salvage crystal knob. Wood screws were dummied in the rosette and the internal mounting hardware is all stainless steel. We have several shower door pulls as well as the ability to manufacture custom pulls.
custom towel bar | polished nickel
These towel bars were fabricated out of brass and finished in polished nickel. They incorporate the design from our ames appliance pull shown on our website http://www.wilmettehardware.com/cabinet/pulls/ames_pull.php.
satin antique nickel harmon hinge
This harmon hinge was finished in satin antique nickel. We can provide harmon hinges for 1 3/4″, 2″, 2 1/4″ doors with integrated ball stops. The hinges also have roller bearings which allow for an extremely smooth operation.
antique nickel | flush pulls
These pocket doors have custom tudor flush pulls installed on them. This flush pull is fabricated from the same rosette specification on one of our tudor door knobs. Often we can add to a suite of hardware by using existing molds or drawings.
iron railing | tudor hardware
I guess it is tudor week – this railing was cleaned and waxed in the field by our craftsman. The hardware in this apartment was also all restored as well and replicated for additional openings. Let us know how we can help you on your next project.
tudor push plate | dual action door
Here is a great shot of our tudor push plate used on a door to a butler’s pantry. We have a fabulous selection of new and old push plates (remember if you find an old push plate we can finish it to work with your hardware).

butler pantry hardware | antique nickel
This pantry was re-outfitted with existing and new cabinet hardware. The pulls and hinges here were re-finished in an antique nickel to coordinate with the balance of the custom hardware in the apartment.
custom german silver sink
This photo is of a custom german silver sink we fabricated. Notice the custom hand hammered towel bar on the cabinet below too!
french entry door
Here is a photo of a century old entry in the south of france taken by my brother who is living in france right now. Looks like this will be a great inspiration piece for an appliance pull.
adler lever & rosette | un-lacquered brass
This lever set provides a sense of simple elegance virtually unavailable from production hardware today. Note the scale of the rosette and proportion of the lever on the narrow stile of the door. We have narrow back-set locks available – and as this one is shown here they can be built the traditional way (upside down).
custom appliance pull
Here is a photo of our latest custom appliance pull. This pull was designed for a firm in Highland Park. The finish will be a brushed nickel with a half matte lacquer coating. Stop by our shop in Wilmette to see one of these on display in our collection.
concealed hinges | oil rubbed bronze
These concealed hinges were finished for a client in New York. Often we coordinate finishes with hardware manufacturers or other door hardware showrooms.
salvage door hardware restoration & plating
Here is some fabulous hardware originally manufactured in the 1890’s. The hardware was salvaged for re-use on in a home in Chicago. We will finish this in a highlighted nickel finish (watch for photos).
