I consider myself to be very privaleged to work in some of the places I do. These next shots are from St Peters RC Church, Bloxwich and the floor springs were originally supplied by Parker, Winder & Achurch of Birmingham in the 1880's. In all we serviced and repaired eight various models of the 600, the majority of which had the square Showell pin. Two of the 600's were behind a plaster wall, boarded up we believe 20 to 30 years ago. It was a good feeling to put these floor springs and the doors back in to commission. These next two lead in to the Church from the entrance hall. These next shots are with the above doors behind you going toward the alter. From the alter back toward the main entrance doors. Side entrance doors. M.F.S also put back in to service two more doors leading from the entrance to the outside that had at some time had the pins sawn off and a surface mounted closer fitted. We were able to maufacture pins and therefore we did away with the surface mounted closers. On this contract we also turned none hold open 600's in to hold open 600's with parts from our stock. Thanks to Tim, Father Bob and Teresa. Please feel free to leave comments if you enjoyed this or any other blog post.

AuthorAs 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. Archives
