Restorers Classic Cremone Bolt

Even better than expected. Perfect for our antique French doors.

I found this hardware easy to install, except that I did not receive flat plates that would work with my doors, just the cremone recepticals on each end. I had to make my own flat plates from two leaves of a brass von morris hinge. It works but it would have been nice for this package of hardware to have included flat plates that would receive the ends of the rods on the top and bottom of the jamb and threshold. All that said, the hardware works beautifully.

I was dubious about this low priced cremone bolt but the description as "solid brass", as well as the high prices for competing bolts, persuaded me to give it a try. Two arrived today and I've looked them over. The cast parts have a nice weight and substantial size. It's made in India and has a decent finish but you can see some rough chasing in some places when you look close -- the look of traditional Indian brass work.
