Owlets
Couldn't find any by doing a search on the Screwfix site.
Is there another name or brand for this type of thing? I bought 10 in Jewsons today, at a cost of £7.26, I think they must have had Sotherbys in to value them! mark |

Owlett is the name for a fixing that secures wooden doorframes or windows to the brickwork. They are inserted as the wall is being raised, the main part sandwiched between brickwork courses. I now see that it is the name of the manufacturer that produces numerous items. However 'Owlett' in the building trade is normally understood to mean this particular fixing. mark |
