custom door handle | polished nickel | restoration

I think I’ll do something different and post the following comment from another happy customer:
After providing some pictures to you via email and obtaining a quotation, Al Bar was able to turn our ‘pop-up’ request around in less than two days, just-in-time for our event. This door handle is no off-the-shelf item, it was specially ordered from Europe long ago, so it wasn’t a matter of just ordering up a new one. It may seem like an insignifacant detail, this door handle, but we are a design-driven company where details really matter, and the handle is literally the first object every customer sees and touches in our showroom (thus the 20 years of wear, right down to the brass!). The re-plated door handle is just as magnificent as when it was new, and the owner was very pleased.
harmon hinge | polished nickel
This is our harmon hinge in a polished nickel finish. It is the perfect choice if your looking for a very clean and flush installation of a pocketing door. They are available for 1 3/4″, 2″ and 2 1/4″ thick doors. Integrated ball stops keep the door in the open or closed position and roller bearings gives them an extremely smooth operation. You can view them along with our other specialty hinges at http://www.wilmettehardware.com/hinges/index.php
