These massive hinges were finished for a meeting house in Indiana by our shop.  The bearings and quality of these original hinges are capital.  The doors actually swing out so extra care was taken to provide enough plating and a special clear coat to protect it as long as possible from the environment.

This hardware was custom manufactured and hand finished by our folks here in Wilmette.  The hardware is being installed on a home here in Lake Forest, Illinois.  Custom shower door pulls and interior hardware is all being fabricated in the same design.
