William Newman Patent Invincible

7/18/2018

Following in the foot steps of Sir Winston Churchill, we were called out to repair this non checking Invincible at one of his early haunts. The estates department were told by the carpet fitters. I believe, that they would not get anyone to repair/service this floor spring, safe to say they were wrong! Not only were we able to get it back to working like new we were also able to get around the nearly 1/2 inch difference in the floor heights after the carpet fitters had laid new flooring.

Someone previously had tried to get around the problem of the differing floor heights by placing large washers over the pin with a view to lifting the shoe/door, so I presume it would close. Neither was it closing when we arrived nor was it centering because of these washers. As I have previously stated this method makes the shoe/door loose on the tapered pin and will over time damage the female fitting in the brass shoe.

Please, please carpet fitters/floor layers do not place washers over the pin, contact us instead.

    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.
