$57.00

Sash Pins are a traditional 20th century means of securing mortise and tenon joints in sash.  They eliminate the need for glue and allow the sash to be separated for restoration. The pins are galvanized steel and tap easily into pre-drilled holes. The nails come in 5 pound boxes and are available in 7/8″, 1″ and 1-1/4″  lengths.

Description

Mortise and tenon joinery is the best way to join sash. The question is, how best to secure the mortise and tenons themselves?   Adhesives can be used but the sash may need to be clamped up until the glue cures. For early sash, makers used  wooden pegs.

Another method is to use sash pins.  Closely resembling headless nails, the sash are predrilled and the pins are driven with a few light hammer taps and nail-set.  A typical 6 light sash can be pinned and removed from the clamp in about  5 minutes. The 1/8″ holes are easily filled with wood filler or glazing putty as the sash are sanded. This approach is particularly appealing to restorers as it allows the sash to be disassembled for repair in the future.

The nails are packaged in 5 pound boxes and are available in 7/8″, 1″ and 1-1/4″  lengths.

Estimated quantities/5 pound box:

7/8″ =  ~1,360 pcs.

1″= ~1,210 pcs.

1-1/4″ = ~935 pcs.

"While renovating our old house we were delighted to find online SRS Hardware’s TL 01 reproduction thumb latch to match our existing late 19th century Babcock Lock window latch hardware. We ordered them in oil rubbed bronze. They were shipped immediately and arrived quickly. They are beautifully made, installed easily, and work perfectly. Thank you Justin! Jon E. Architect"
