Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Midlands Floor Springs has been established for nearly a year now, we have met many people and been to some fantastic historical and interesting places along the way. Whilst we have had a few teething problems we feel we have accomplished much and hope to continue going from strength to strength in the up coming year and beyond....as Del Boy likes to say "Next year Rodney we'll be millionaires."

We have some interesting jobs possibly lined up, involving some Gibbons Zenith's, a Colledge and Bridgen "Perfect," as all ready hinted at single and double action "Slaves," many Climax's, some Smiths and more modern transom closers and floor springs.

Thanks to all our customers, readers and especially our posters (Jess in particular). I would also like to thank my parents for their support, those that have aided from behind the curtains (you know who you are even if I don't), Del and Elaine, Johnathan, Tim, UK MAT, Paul R and any others I may have forgot (It is not on purpose).

MFS wishes all a very, very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Margarine,

sometimes its all it takes is some small blog or comment on something to get something going and draw in more business, a;ready, I remember when I was asked by Rod to help bring in more customers and give him pointers on the website as well as key words to help draw attention to those who may be googling about victorian era floor closers/floor springs.

now I see at least a post every few days, it seemed it was slower in past, I take it Rod/MFS got more customers needing their closers worked on.

how I grew popular online, I would leave comments on door closer photos and videos on youtube, and this would also attract the "web spiders" to use my comments in search results and I would start to see responses and emails about many old closers (many were "potbelly" type) from churches and schools,

I cant seem to go 3 weeks without someone asking for help, and strangely, the questions always show up in 2's.

never bores me, can be anyone from anywhere in the world, any walk of life from rich man to poor man, from old great-grandfather to a small child who spotted a closer in his/her school, to engineers/inventors, teachers,doctors/nurses, just never know who will be behind that next question!!

    As there is so little information out there with regard to door closers, especially vintage and antique model floor springs, I thought I would start this blog.
