Door Window opening pulley!!
Dont know what this is called but the old door in my house has a
window at the top of it. Attached to it is a sort of iron pulley type thing where rope is attached and feeds down the side of the door. this enable you to open the window. Its a bit old and needing replaced but I have no idea what this is called or where I would get it. anyone got any ideas ? Cheers Joe. |

If you are referring to the rope, I think you should search for sash cord or if you have a ships chandler nearby ask for rope that they lift the sails with on a dinghy, I think it's called sheet rope and is quite soft to the hands.

Cheers Don I might be able to recondition the existing one. bit dirty and rust(ish) so just buying the rope might be ideal. Thanks for the info. Appreciated. Joe. |
