      I am restoring my sash windows (circa 1895). How do I research the most authentic ironmongery to use? I would like to use my original latches (or replicas) but have been advised the the screw-type ones are better from a security and draught proofing point of view. What type of sash lift is appropriate and should I reinstate the original external sash rings? Finally, although practical would rings on the top sashes look very out of place?

      Try the Dublin Civic Trust on Castle Street…. they will be of help here.
