Properly Hang Doors r PROPERLY HUNG DOORS Information lor the Building Owner, Contractor, aud Architect. The Stanley Works Office. The Guaranty of Quality THE STANLEY WORKS NEW YORK NEW BRITAIN, CONN. CHICAGO Manufacturers of Butts, Hinges, Door Bolts, Shelf Brackets, Blind Trimmings and Wrought Hardware. The Stanley Works Factories at New Britain, Conn. A poorly hung door which creaks and binds is a source of continual annoyance and dissatisfaction. The cause is usually to be found in the hinges, which either are not of the proper size, or are of inferior quality, poorly manufactured of cheap materials. Given hinges of good quality and handsome finish, with screws of the proper size, the average carpenter can hang a well constructed door, so that it will swing easily without friction or noise. Three butt hinges, known in the trade simply as “butts” should ordinarily be used for each door to prevent warping. Instead, therefore, of using two large sized butts, it is better practice to use three of a smaller size. The ideal material for Door Butts is Cold Rolled \\ rought Steel. Bronze Butts while somewhat more ex¬ pensive will never rust, and can be used to advantage on outside doors. Very few Butts and Hinges are now made of Cast Iron, as it is liable to break, and will not take the handsome finishes of Wrought Steel Hardware. The Stanley Works was the first manufacturing con¬ cern to use Cold Rolled Steel for Butts, and Hinges. For over fifty years it has continued to develop the possibili¬ ties of Wrought Steel Hardware. One of the largest cold rolling mills in the United States is operated at the New Britain Plant, producing all of the steel used in the manu¬ facture of the famous Stanley Butts. The Steel is care- 2 fully tested in completely equipped laboratories, and every care is used to maintain the high standard of the Stanley Product. The manufacturing processes through which the metal passes have been brought by constant improvement of both methods and machinery to a high state of perfec¬ tion. Trained experts supervise every portion of the work, modern systems prevail in all departments, and in addition every Stanley Butt is frequently inspected. After the goods are finished and ready for packing, a rigid final inspection is made, to prevent imperfect goods being placed on the market. The process of cold rolling gives the steel a bright smooth surface commonly known as “Bright Steel”. Plated Butts in this finish are called “Planished Goods”, to distinguish them from their more aristocratic brothers the “Polished” Butts, which are given an extra finish and are the finest examples of Wrought Hardware to be found. The Butts are heavily plated in many hand¬ some effects of bronze, brass, antique copper, nickel, silver, etc. It is possible to produce any desired finish to match the other door hardware. The subject of proper packing has been given especial attention and as a consequence Stanley's Plated Door Butts are all separately wrapped in such a manner that the surfaces cannot be marred. Screws of the proper size and corresponding finish are included with each pair of Butts. This insures the proper hanging of the doors, and is a convenience and saving of expense to both the owner and the builder. In the succeeding pages a few of the Stanley Butts, and other lines of Wrought Hardware are illustrated and de¬ scribed. They can be purchased through any reliable Hardware Dealer. They are the “Standard” of the Hard¬ ware World, and their use will insure the owner of a new building or residence that his doors will be properly hung. This *t RA °E is printed on Stanley labels and stamped on Stanley Butts. It guarantees their quality and is a protection against the substitution of inferior goods. 3 STANLEY’S BALL BEARING BUTTS Wrou^ht Steel or Bronze Cut of 4/ x 4 y 2 inch Ball Bearing Butt. Half Size. The Non - Rising Pin, showing the small wings which fit into slots in the joint and prevent the pin from working out of the joint. The Ball Bearing Washer, showing construc¬ tion of the bearings, and the brass dust proof cap. 4 A door hung on Stanley’s Ball Bearing Butts is properly hung in every respect. Friction is elimi¬ nated and the door swings smoothly and softly without creaking or binding. The Improved Ball Bearing Washers are so construct¬ ed that they cannot come apart. Each ball is turned from solid steel, and will carry one thousand pounds without crushing. As the weight of the door is entirely carried on these bearings, it can readily be seen that the Ball Bearing Butts will never wear down or break. The bearings are protected by a brass cap from dust and moisture and the butts consequently never require oiling. Owing to the increased strength and their everlasting wearing qualities, Stanley’s Ball Bearing Butts, while of slightly higher price than ordinary Butts, are more economical in the end, and prevent the annoyance caused by squeaking, binding hinges. Stanley’s Ball Bearing Butts are equipped with pat¬ ented Non-rising Loose Pins. The wings on the pin which fit into corresponding slots in the joint, prevent the pin working up under the action of the door, as so frequently happens with the ordinary loose pins. These pins can be as easily taken out, however, as other loose pins. Stanley Ball Bearing Butts are made in all sizes and can be supplied in any desired finish. They are made in the following grades: No. 180 —Wrought Bronze Ball Bearing Butts. Polished. Im¬ proved Ball Bearing Washers, Non-Rising Loose Pins and Beveled Joints. This is the ideal Butt for heavy exterior doors. No. BB 239— Wrought Steel Ball Bearing Butts. Improved Washers, Non-Rising Loose Pins and Beveled Joints. These Butts are highly polished and heavily plated, and mark the highest perfection in Wrought Steel Hardware. No. BB 2411/2— Wrought Steel Ball Bearing Butts. Improved Ball Bearing Washers. Non-Rising Pins. Polished Finish. While these butts are not so highly finished as the No. 239, they are an excellent grade of hardware and will give com¬ plete satisfaction. No. BB 241 —Wrought Steel Ball Bearing Butts. Improved Ball Bearing Washers. Non-Rising Pins. Planished Finish. These Butts are not of as high a grade as those preceding, but are superior to any other make of Steel Butts. 5 STANLEY’S LOOSE PIN BUTTS Wrought Steel With Ball Tips Cut of No. 239, 4 x 4 inch, About three-fourths size. 6 P roperly hung doors can be obtained with cer¬ tainty only by specifying the use of Stanley's Butts for your new home or building. Stanley’s Wrought Steel and Bronze Loose Pin Butts are used for hanging more doors than all other makes combined. They represent sixty years of continual improvement in design, materials and methods of manufacture and are the accepted Stand¬ ard of the Hardware and Building Trades. They are made of the best grades of carefully selected, thoroughly tested Wrought Steel and Bronze. Every finished Butt is accu¬ rately designed, perfectly constructed and handsomely finished. They are all stamped with the Stanley Trade Mark, which is a guaranty of quality. To prevent the substitution of inferior lines examine the labels and goods for this Trade Mark.

All of the popular finishes are regularly made and our plating department can produce any finish desired to match the other hard¬ ware. 7 STANLEY’S ORNAMENTAL SURFACE BUTTS Wrought Steel No. 160 Raised Design No. 165 Beveled Edge The handsome ornamental design of these Hinges possesses the beauty and dignity of simplicity. In hanging doors it is necessary to mortise the case¬ ment only, the ornamental surface of the hinges being screwed to the face of the door. This saves both time and labor with corresponding saving in expense. These Hinges are reversible, and can be made either right or left hand by unscrewing the ball tip which has a slotted head and screwing the tip in the opposite end of the joint. They are packed with oval head screws for the orna¬ mental leaf, which complete the contour of the design, and flat head screws for the flat leaf. They are made in standard sizes and anv desired finish. 8 STANLEY’S ORNAMENTAL HINGES Wrought Steel and Brass No. 1403 Refrigerator Hinge No. 1478 No. 1480 “Lotus” Pattern Hinges We manufacture a varied line of Wrought Steel and Brass ornamental hinges in a variety of patterns and all the popular finishes.

STANLEY’S CORRUGATED HINGES Stronger, Lighter in Weight, Neater in Appearance than the Old Style Hinges The corrugations around the joint prevent the hinges from binding and breaking after they become rusty. Stanley’s Hinges, both plain and corrugated, are made in plain steel, japanned or galvanized finishes, and like Stanley’s Butts are the “Standard” Hinges of the Hard¬ ware Trade. 10 STANLEY’S BOLTS Chain Bolt No. 1055 The Proper Fastenings lor Doors and Windows Chain Bolts Patented.

STANLEY’S SCREEN DOOR HARDWARE Wrought Steel Complete Sets in Convenient Packages E ACH set consists of one pair of 3 x 3 Ornamental Wrought Steel Loose Pin Butts, which screw on the surface of the door, one five inch Wrought Steel Pull, one Wire Spring, one Gate Hook and Eye. The No. 3 Spring is of much better quality than is usually furnished with screen door sets. These sets can be furnished in Japan, Antique Copper, Dull Brass or the anti-rust “Stanley” Sherardized finish. Each set is packed complete with screws in a neat box, ready for use. For outdoor work or damp climates we particularly recommend the “Stanley” Sherardized finish, as it abso¬ lutely prevents rust, prolonging the life of the hardware, and at the same time giving a neat, finished appearance. 14 “PEERLESS” HANGERS AND FASTENERS Solve the problem of properly hanging Storm Sash and Screens. Stanley’s No. 1717 “Peerless” Storm Sash Fastener Once applied, neither tools nor ladder are needed to take down or put up the storm sash. Full length screens can be hung on the same hooks. Stanley’s No. 1719 “Peerless” Storm Sash Fastener “Peerless” Rotary Fastener For stationary outside windows, window screens, shutters, cellar window screens, cellar storm sash, out¬ side swinging casement sash, etc. 15 STANLEY’S IMPROVED GRAVITY RLIND HINGES Wrought Steel Patented Properly hung blinds are an important detail of the perfect home. Hung on poorly designed, cheaply con¬ structed hinges, blinds will be difficult to open and close, and will rattle and bang in a manner destructive in its effect on the temper of the owner, as well as to the blinds themselves. These blind hinges operate easily and simply, locking automatically. To close the blind it is only necessary to raise it slightly and swing it around. The top and bot¬ tom hinges are exactly alike and can be used on either the right or left hand side. Finished in plain steel or “Stanley” Sherardized. 16 AV t LitSARY 601UMBIA UNIVERSITY -tf*AD£- Mar* The Guaranty of Quality
