Here is another image of the mod pulls on a pull out.  We are working on another project with this same sweet hardware.



mod ice box hardware

This is a great shot of our mod ice box hardware collection.  We have completed several installs with this and are currently doing a condo on the lake.



custom mod drawer pulls

This drawer pull was just installed in a howard van doren shaw home right here in evanston, illinois.  The exposed screws are under the pull as well as fasteners that pull the entire piece together.



custom cremone bolts

These cremone parts are being made and will be used to replicated cremone bolts on historic hope’s windows that are currently being restored.  We have a great collection of cremone hardware available and of course do not feel you are limited by what we already make (but just don’t leave your pocket book in the car).



brass clavos

These custom brass screws were cast for a building down at the University of Chicago.  These are not made anymore and our client was only missing a few.  Check the mold to the left that was used to make them.



privacy occupancy indicator

This privacy occupancy indicator is like none we have ever seen.  The engraving was completed by hand and all the components were machined in solid brass.  The first one was finished in silver!



custom shelf brackets in polished nickel

Posted on 25th November, by administrator in Recent Projects. No Comments

This pair of custom shelf brackets was finished in polished nickel.  They were made of solid brass and feature exposed slotted fasteners.  They may seem like over-kill but just wait until you see them installed!



detailed install

Posted on 21st November, by administrator in Recent Projects. No Comments

This is what separates someone with an eye for detail and a clear hack. The time and patience required to install hardware with exposed screws (and flawless finishing for that matter) is unreal.  The hardware on this project is nothing short of stunning.



push plates | il

These Victorian push plates have just been cast in solid bronze and still need machining and final finishing.  They are for a large municipal project we are working on during 2012.



raw cast levers

These levers were just cast in solid brass and are ready to be machined and finished.  The levers will have a broach so they they can be used with multi-point hardware if required.



custom jib pulls

This custom hardware was fabricated for a local furniture maker and designer.  The finish is un-lacquered brass.  The designer worked with our in house hardware team to design and develop this fun hardware.
