Medieval Style Wrought Iron Hinge Strap

Strap hinges are beautiful and are found on many medieval castle and cathedral doors. Now they are simply ornamentation, but in medieval times the use of hinge straps was more to help support the weight of the doors to prevent sagging after a few years than for looks. Originally, a hinge strap was a simple long piece of wrought iron that formed a loop on the hinge side or the door or, in some cases, wrapped all the way around the hinge side and continued onto the opposing side of the door with a loop space left in the hinge side to hang the door forming the hinge and support. Most hinge straps were very basic, just a strap ending in a circle, diamond, or arrowhead shape, but, especially on cathedral doors, some were works of art on their own.

Though we at ArtFactory.com can do simple strap hinges, our master blacksmiths like to use their artistic skills to create beautiful and more intricate hand forged accents for your doors. These hinge straps are a perfect example of their artistry. Though these are strictly decorative, they are extended to the edge of the door and have a modern functional hinge barrel to give the impression of the classic working strap hinge. Imagine customizing your door with these wrought iron works of art and call us at ArtFactory.com to order your own.

Our Blacksmithing Is Not Welding or Fast Process - It Is the Best in the World

Blacksmithing is not casting (also known as drop forging or hollow cold roll) or other fast, fake processes. Our Fine Art Custom Door Pulls are created from labor intensive tried and tested techniques. Each custom pull is fired by coal and anvil hammered into shape by the hands of our master blacksmiths in our American factory in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA. All of our Custom Door Handles are made from solid hand forged wrought iron with a natural patina (we never use faux paint or powder coating). Our Custom Door Hardware will arrive to you virtually maintenance free.
