The Sword Hinge from Ludlow Foundries can be bought as either a false front or a hinge and is perfect for traditional properties such as cottages, manor houses and old public houses. The hinge features a charming curled design at the ‘handle’ of the sword and has a bulbous, curved end.

Two Options

The Sword Hinge Front is used for decorative purposes and usually sits on top of the butt hinge that supports the door. The Sword Hinge is used for support. We recommend that you choose a size of hinge that stretches across 50-60% of your door to add the necessary support and create an eye-catching authentic look.

Maintenance Essential

The Sword Hinges will require a reasonably strict maintenance program in order to retain its magnificent appearance. Malleable wrought iron is liable to rust so you need to make sure it is regularly oiled using a cloth. An occasional clean with clear wax will also be required. If you live near the coast a more thorough cleaning program will be required. Iron is more vulnerable to sea air.
