Frequently asked questions about cremone bolts
What's the difference between an espagnolette and a cremone bolt?
Espagnolette and cremone bolts are two locksmithing systems used to lock and operate wooden joinery. Although the cremone bolt is a more recent mechanism, both systems coexist today, and the choice between cremone and espagnolette bolts often depends on personal preference and architectural style. The two mechanisms work in different ways. The espagnolette bolt consists of a single rod with hooks at the ends, operated by the handle. Espagnolette bolts are often used for double-sash windows (traditional French windows), doors and interior French windows. They can also be adapted to single-leaf windows, and they can close interior wooden shutters in a single operation. Cremone bolts, on the other hand, are used to close wooden windows or interior doors, particularly in Haussmann-style apartments. The major distinction between espagnolette and cremone bolts also lies in their direction of movement. The rods of a cremone bolt move vertically, up and down, while the espagnolette rod rotates, allowing the hooks to be inserted into the window frame to close it.
How to repair a cremone bolt on the door ?
Sometimes there are problems that can be solved simply by cleaning the cremone and applying a suitable vaseline to the moving parts of the cremone, such as strikers, rods and locking mechanisms. If the cremone bolt still doesn’t work, check that certain parts are not worn-out. Commonly worn or damaged parts are springs, gears, rods or locking mechanisms. To replace defective parts, it may be advisable to call in a professional to assess the condition of the antique cremone bolt and solve the problem. Contact us to find out more.
What do I do if the handle on my cremone has broken off?
The most likely cause is wear on the tenon, which can be replaced. To do this, we recommend that you contact a professional and send him a photo of the parts concerned. Contact us for restoration or reproduction of your antique cremone handle.
