Historic and custom fittings, produced using traditional sand-casting processes – our individual door fittings are designed, developed and fabricated at the Glutz Manufactory. Spanning the timeline, the production range includes different styles from baroque to the no-frills architectural style of today. Whether a replica of a classic historicist fitting, a brass rosette for the door of an old church, discontinued models from the late 19th century or a modern new product development – anything is possible at the Glutz Manufactory.
Fittings from the Glutz Manufactory
From conception to the completed door fitting
Our expert personnel accompany you through the entire process, from original design to the finished fitting. As a point of contact for architects, interior designers, planning bodies, fabricators, builders, cultural heritage preservation organisations and designers, we create unique pieces and ranges as part of a guided process.
