Colonialworks Wrought Iron Hardware


I've been looking for items that may be useful to the castle builder again, and I've come across more "decorative" items in wrought iron. Normally, you could just go to your local mega hardware store and by some cheap stamped steel items; they do the job, they're cheap, but they just don't look right. Searching for better hardware results in lots of very expensive but nice items along the lines of a $400 door handle. You want to put as much of your assets as you can into maximizing the size and structure of your castle, you don't have a lot of dough left over for the decorative end of things.

Well, here's a nice compromise: Colonialworks Wrought Iron Hardware. These guys produce some really nice stuff for a pretty good price. For instance a similar fancy Gothic door hinge (#818) strap in the photo might cost several hundred on another site, but here it's less than $100 for a pair. The stuff isn't polished looking, but that's great; it adds to the hand -forged and -made look that befits a castle. The overall cost of the items on the site aren't that cheap, but are still a better value than many other sites.
