I would highly recommend HiF kitchens for any joinery work. Derek is very precise with his work and takes time to ensure the best job is achieved.
He was also extremely knowledgeable with suggestions on work being carried out.
An overall very satisfying experience.

Supplied by HiF Kitchens, this complete set is ideally suited for period properties, restoration projects, and interiors seeking classic detail and authenticity.

The forging process introduces slight variations, adding a unique and artisanal touch to every piece. Spira Brass combines time-honoured blacksmithing techniques with rigorous quality standards to deliver a robust and visually appealing product.

Additional components include a 160 mm thumb bar, an 80 mm bar, and a 215 mm latch. These pieces work in harmony to provide smooth, dependable operation while retaining the visual and tactile appeal of traditional ironmongery.
This Handforged Kit Penny End is a fitting choice for listed buildings, cottages, barn conversions, or any interior requiring architectural fidelity. Its design and finish make it particularly suitable for restoring or recreating period features in both domestic and commercial properties.
