Our old Smithy's (Joseph Smith and Turner) have been returned. From smashed, seized, broken and missing parts to fully functional, snapping to centre with no play whats so ever, usable door closer mechanisms. This design was a hundred years old at the beginning of the First World War, now over two hundred years old, they will live to fight on, With my bespoke springs at their heart it will be a long time before these need any more attention.

The decor plates were only cleaned, leaving the rich caramel brown patina.

I wonder what Joseph would make of it, I wonder if while lying their listening to his bedroom door banging he would ever have thought his design would last so long?

Please leave comment if you happen to pass by and take an interest in this bi-centennial beauty.

    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.
