RESTORATION AND REPLICATION

Replica Bronze shoot bolts to match original centre bolt

It is important and essential to retain as much of the original fittings and ironmongery as possible when restoring an historic building. This ensures the original design and styling is preserved, maintaining the period style of the building.

MBL refurbish and repair all types of ironmongery using many of the traditional methods of our forefathers with modern engineering practices, ensuring that the original fittings are retained for future generations.

Where the original fittings are missing, beyond practical repair or the incorrect style or finish required, we design and manufacture bespoke ironmongery to match as closely as possible to the genuine part.

Restored Georgian Hinges

We are able to reproduce in a wide range of materials and finishes allowing the new parts to blend into their historic surroundings.

MBL can also manufacture a "One Off" lock case for furniture to match the original mortise that remains, to complement this service MBL supply a wide range of keys in steel, brass and bronze, these can be cut to pass the original lock to maintain the style and design of the piece. Whether it is a replica brass Georgian Sash catch or a complete restoration project of fittings MBL provide a professional service with care and attention to detail ensured.
