    Keyhole Wooden Handrail

    Some incredibly imaginative person came up with the name Keyhole Handrail ... no idea why !

    A local builder here in Adelaide uses this design regularly in aged care faculties that they construct. It measures 120mm and 40mm thick and is made from select grade Victorian Ash. It is fixed onto the front of a 45 x 50mm backing piece, so that it sits off of the wall.

    This can be the case on a staircase where you may have a closed stringer supporting the treads; and placing a post of the treads may night be practical.

    Round Tapered Timber Furniture Legs

    Last year we added 2 different height round tapered legs to the range of furniture components that we produce. These legs were based on designs that we use to make in the 1960's.

    The sales and response to these 2 legs were so good that we decided recently to add 4 more legs to the range.

    Wire Balustrade Cable and Fittings Being Used

    Wire cable balustrade has been around for many years now, but only recently have we got involved in the products required to produce this style of balustrade.

    We stock a range of wire cables in both 3.2mm and 4.0mm sizes, and also have a range of fittings that both professional installers through to a DIY'er can make use of.
