Anyone know a source of these? You'd think salvage yards would have
them. Google drawing a bit of a blank.

****ty old sheet-metal 'railings' by the looks of them; WW2 vintage,
so not surprising something gave way.

You need men with vans who regularly get onto demolition sites:-)

I provide storage space for a cabglaze operation. They wanted to extend
their space with a mezzanine and needed steps/safety railing. Took them
about a week to find a set of steps fabricated in 12mm steel sheet with
thick chequer plate steps. The railings came from the same source.

Strangely they seem to have forgotten about the Crittal metal window
frames I requested!

As most external escape stairs seem to be individually designed and
built to suit the building they are fitted to, I suspect that they are
not readily transferable and most probably go for scrap when the
building is demolished.

Would you consider fire damaged ones?

How big and where are you? I have one frame, that's going to the dump
eventually, in East Sussex. Approx 1.4m wide by 0.8m high, casement and
transom.

My wife has a cousin at Robertsbridge but we rarely meet.

I was looking for that sort of size but with the glazing bars giving
small panes for security reasons.

I'm a bit North of St. Albans.

What height are you hoping to reach and what size balcony?
