Description
Our Nylon Tipped Spring Bolt is a replacement for and higher quality version of the now discontinued Stanley #1697 spring bolt. We have incorporated Stanley’s economical nylon tip and replaced the corrosion-prone steel housing with a durable zinc plated brass housing and non-corroding stainless spring mechanism for a trouble-free service life. The bolt has an attractive spade-shaped finial for a secure and comfortable grip. This cost-effective bolt is used extensively to fasten transom windows by large fire-rated door manufacturers.
The bolts can also be used in a variety of situations where a sash, screen or panel needs to be easily removable. They are easy to install requiring only a 3/8″ diameter hole drilled through each lower stile and a second hole drilled into the window or door jamb. The swaged and slotted housing is a secure press fit. The bolts are zinc plated.
Door and window manufacturers use the bolts to secure transom sash over doors, insert screens or interior storm panels.
The ProScraper was recommended to me when I was making slow progress removing 5 layers of old paint on my window frames. It made the job so much easier and faster. The shape of the handle was the right fit for my arthritic hands and allowed me to work longer sessions. It is by far the best scraper I have ever used.
I did have trouble changing the blades, but that was due to my arthritic hands and not having the proper screw driver. Mr. Smith had me send the scraper back to him to check it. He found the proper screw driver (Torx T10), loosened the screws, and sent both the scraper and the new screw driver back to me at no charge! This is customer service that goes above and beyond the norm in this day and age. I highly recommend both the ProScraper and SRS.
