Bronze Door and Pivoting Hardware Restoration
The restoration of six sets of monumental bronze doors included the straightening and re-securing of bottom bronze panels, removal and remanufacturing new pivot hardware top and bottom and repairs to the full length locking mechanism. We also fabricated a number of damaged or missing parts such as lock handles.
