is a family business located in the historic mill town of Collinsville Connecticut. Our company offers a wide range of unique, high quality products for personal and professional construction projects. We specialize in sliding door hardware, architectural plans to build your own barn or shed, and accessories for your building.

Our sliding door hardware connects the tradition and authenticity of Yankee craftsmanship with state of the art finishing techniques to create superior quality architectural pieces for interior and exterior use.
