Ironmongery Blog

We recently supplied ironmongery from our British Brass and Bronze range for renovation work at Scotney Castle in Kent.

Part of the work included some very high double cupboard doors and we were asked to provide suitable bolts to keep the inactive leaves shut - these needed to be at least 900mm long so that they could be easily reached by the staff.
This did not cause us any problems and we supplied 1000mm long traditional brass barrel bolts in polished brass unlacquered finish from one of our British manufacturers.

We would like to thank Yesterday’s World for awarding us with the “Best Dressed Shop Window” accolade during their grand pageant in Battle at the weekend.

We had used the theme of a Victorian Ironmongers for our window and displayed many of our period door and window fittings together with original adverts from the period for items such as Knife Sharpeners, Gas Laundry Irons, Mangles and the like.

We always get a very good response to our ever changing window but it was nice to be officially recognised for our efforts.
