Introduction
At our San Francisco Facility we accomplish restoration/replication of existing
metal products, produce fine custom builders hardware, and produce a wide variety of custom metal products. Our skilled craftsmen
accomplish design, pattern making, lost wax casting, machining, polishing and
finishing to reproduce the fine detail distinguishing our products.
RESTORATION/REPLICATION
Restoration/Replication is our passion.
Being afforded the honor of working on some of our nations most spectacular and
historic building has been the backbone of our continued business. From
San Francisco City Hall to Martha's Vineyard and from Texas State Capital to
Michigan State Capital we have worked to maintain the "soul" of many public
buildings and are very proud to have done it. Some sample photos are
available by clicking the Restoration button at left.

pulls, cabinet hardware, etc.) required to fill the complete house with matching
hardware.
