We are very pleased to announce Poole Waite & Co Ltd have begun to remanufacture the Traditional Briton "B" and "C" T-shape door closers (Patent 621457/47).
Remanufacturing the Briton door closer
Poole Waite & Co Ltd is now the only company specialising in this remanufacturing process.
We have large stocks of brand new models in all finishes and fixing applications, including this very rare special Satin Chrome Plate “B” door closer (pictured.)
History of the Briton T-shape door closer
The Briton door closers were originally manufactured by William Newman and Sons Ltd in Hospital Street, Birmingham during the 1930s. They are still used extensively throughout National Trust properties, Houses of Parliament, period offices, as well as theatre and film sets.
Demand for this closer continues despite the introduction in recent years of many new models and the increasing sales of concealed door closers.
Refurbishment service
Our in-house engineering department offer a repair and refurbish service to customer-owned door closers if required.
What's inside the Briton door closer?
