Louise Lakier It is an original creation by the artists! But if you know a good metalworker you know where to buy the parts:)

What Houzz contributors are saying:
The gate handles and latch are secondhand tools and gears.
What is it? A pair of old wrenches.What is it doing in its new life? Serving as a gate handle and latch outside the home of two Seattle artists.Requirements: Wrenches are easy enough to find, but you will need to know how to weld.

3. Create artistic handles. At the creative home of two Seattle artists, old tools and gears form the gate hardware.
