Facts about The Stanley Works 30

Announcement

The kind of garage you build will depend
much on local conditions. If the size of
your property permits, it is advisable to
have the garage at a fair distance from your
house, and of such an architectural character as
to blend harmoniously with it.

A fireproof garage is preferable, but not always
necessary.

The building and its equipment should be of
good quality, and it is well to remember that a
good architect and contractor are usually an
economy.

Although you may not now have any expecta-
tions of possessing more than one car, it is
advisable to look into the future, and to provide
space for a second or even a third. This extra
space adds comparatively little to the cost and
is frequently desirable for the housing of a visi-
tor's car, and for other purposes. In many
instances the additional space may be rented
out to a neighbor.

Your garage should be as independent of the
weather as possible. With fuel at a high figure,

it should be constructed to stay warm in winter
and to protect the car from freezing and
dampness .

Important items of garage comfort are:

A work bench.

A pit, to enable you to get under the car for
cleaning and repairs.

A gasoline tank outside the garage, with pipe
and pump inside.

Running water and a conveniently placed sink.

A drain in concrete floor.

Good natural and artificial lighting.

Heating apparatus.

Plenty of shelving, cupboards, and bins or racks
for supplies.

Proper ventilating facilities.

To these should be added an entrance arrange-
ment permitting all cars to enter or leave at the
same time; doors that are so equipped as to
swing open and shut easily, doors that close
snugly and weather-tight, and that can be locked
open so as to prevent a gust of wind slamming
them against your car.

The many advantages in swinging the doors
out on hinges should not be overlooked. Gar-
age doors swung on hinges close snugly — as
weather-tight as the front doors of your home.
Hinges cost less to buy and less to apply than

any other device and when the doors are up,
you have a better looking, smoother acting piece
of workmanship. No space is wasted operating
doors on hinges. There is nothing to adjust or
to get out of order. It is easier to swing heavy
doors out than to push them back.

Whether you plan to build an elaborate garage
or just a modest one provision for the above
features will add materially to the service and
satisfaction you will get from it during the years
to come.

A Stucco Garage

for Two Cars

This fireproof garage is in the heart of a resi-
dential section, with houses on either side.
Its stucco walls and slate roof prevent its
catching fire from outside, or the spreading of any
flames that might start within the garage.

The owner enters through a side door, which is
connected with the house by a pergola-covered walk.
When vines have had time to grow over both pergola
and garage, the latter will "fit into the landscape"
attractively and unobtrusively.

Five pairs of double windows, in addition to those
in the doors, insure a well-lighted interior.

The driveway is made to slope away from the
garage to prevent rain from entering.

A Stucco Garage

for Three Cars

This garage illustrates well the advantage of
swinging garage doors out on hinges, so all
three entrances may be open at the same time
(see page 2) . The doors are equipped with Stanley
Garage Door Holders 1774, which hold them open
at a little more than right angles and prevent them
from interfering with each other or slamming against
the cars when passing in or out.

The ground plan consists of the garage proper,
with the heater room, toilet and staircase in an exten-
sion at the rear. Upstairs is a storeroom.

The lower floor is concreted, including a pit cen-
tered inside one pair of the entrance doors. In the

10

f

doorways the floor is raised slightly, to insure a
weather-tight construction .

A hot water system supplies heat. Plumbing and
electric connections with the house are made under-
ground. A two-barrel underground gasoline tank is
buried just outside the garage, the pump being indoors.

A Clapboard Garage

s

imple, but attractive, this garage, closely sur-
rounded by trees, harmonizes well with its
residence.

A broad driveway permits cars to be readily turned
around.

The gas heater may be seen at the left through the
open door. At the rear is a work-bench. The floor
is of cement pitched to the center, where a drain is
located .

This construction is one that will appeal to many
as being substantial and comparatively inexpensive.

A Clapboard Garage

for One Car

The garage here illustrated could be set down
almost anywhere and be quite suitable for the
man who owns and wishes sightly and roomy
accommodation for one car.

The dark doors (which are swung on Stanley
Hinges and close snugly and weather- tight) contrast
well with the lighter clapboard sides.

At the center of the floor is a drain, and close to
the side wall is a sink. A shelf for tools, repair
parts, etc., comes in handy.

A private telephone has been installed from the
garage to the house which is some little distance away.

14

This is a great convenience, especially to the man who
enjoys tinkering with his machine. The garage is
lighted by electricity and heated by steam from the
house.

A Stucco Garage

for Two Cars
with extra heavy doors

It is always desirable to build the garage in a
style to harmonize with the residence near
which it is located.
In the stucco garage here illustrated, the lines are
good, the general impression given being that of
strength, permanence and quality.

The doors are heavier than those ordinarily used,
and are swung on long, strong Stanley ball-bearing
Hinges No. 1458. These prevent sagging and make
certain that the doors always swing smoothly and
close snugly.

16

The roof is of a graceful slope, with liberal over-
hang at the eaves.

This type of garage is excellent for handsome homes
with broad grounds surrounding them. A covered
way, lighted by electricity, connects the garage with
the residence.

A Stucco Garage

for Two Cars
with curved- top doors

When you look at this picture you immedi-
ately notice that here is something different,
and the difference, it is quickly seen, is due
to the curved-top doors, and to the Colonial windows.
For those who are a bit tired of severe straight
lines, this style will prove a pleasing change. There
is an air of the broad open countryside about this
garage.

At the front is a cement run, and inside the build-
ing is the pipe with vamp and hose connection.
Two drains are in the cement floor. At the rear are
closets and a long work-bench.

18

The doors are each swung on three Stanley ball-
bearing butts, the construction of their tops and size
of the windows making them unsuitable for the usual
broad Stanley strap hinges.

A Stucco Garage

for One Car
built into residence

Now and then it is desirable to make the garage
a part of the house itself.
This is particularly true where space is
limited, or conditions of grade are unusual, or where
the car may be wanted quickly for emergency use —
the latter having special reference to men in such
occupations as physicians, fire, police, or other pub-
lic officials.

In a building of this kind it is easy to have radiators
and sink connected to the house system. The doors
here shown swing on 3 Stanley ball-bearing butts, the

20

curved construction (as in the case of the garage on
page 18) not permitting the use of the stronger and
more substantial Stanley strap hinges. They are
locked open for the safe exit and entry of the car
by Stanley Door Holders, these being adapted to the
curved door frame by a simple block.

A drain is provided in the floor. A convenient
workroom makes the care of the car a pleasure.

A Shingled Garage

for Two Cars
with chauffeur's quarters

Quite imposing is this garage which roams over
a large area and provides a home for the
chauffeur and his family.

On the first floor are the garage, tool room and coal
room. Four bedrooms and a bathroom occupy the
second floor.

The garage has a concrete floor with two drains,
one for each car . A sink , which is a great convenience
in a garage, is provided, and a work-bench is built
beneath a window.

22

The building is heated by steam from a furnace in
the basement of the owner's residence. Electric
lights, telephone and a gasoline tank are included in
the up-to-date equipment.

Stanley Garage
Hardware

Covering the equipment of garages of all sizes
and kinds, from the simplest to the most
elaborate, Stanley Garage Hardware is a com-
plete line of hardware especially designed for garage
use .

Whether the building you contemplate erecting is
to be of brick, cement, concrete or wood, there is
Stanley Hardware suitable for it. And also for spe-
cial conditions, such as when doors cannot be swung
out, when doors have curved tops, etc., there are
Stanley products ready for use.

Stanley Hinges close the garage door so that it is
as tight as the front door of your residence. A
Stanley hinged door means a smooth-acting door —
the Stanley ball-bearings see to that.

Stanley Bolts, Latches and Handles are strong, well
made, and of proper design.

Stanley Door Holder is simple, strong, and always
works. It is a form of accident prevention for every
modern garage door.

When you build, specify Stanley Garage Hard-
ware by name and number and you will be entirely
satisfied with its appearance and operation. The
more important items are illustrated and described
on the following pages .

No. 1774 Door Holder

This is an arm of steel which holds garage doors
open, preventing them from slamming against
the car, smashing an expensive lamp or the
door itself.

There are three parts to the holder: the first is a U-shaped bar
of heavy steel, the second a pivot plate with % inch rivet, coup-
ling the bar to the door, the third, the bumper plate which
locks the bar to the frame of the garage at two points.
When the door opens to a little more than to a right angle, the
notches in the end of the bar drop over the bottom of the
slotted plate, locking the door open. A pull on the chain
releases the bar and the door is free to swing shut.
This Stanley Holder can control a door of any weight and is
easily applied. It is reversible for right or left hand doors of
any shape.

For more complete details see large catalog on
Stanley Garage Hardware, which will be mailed free
on request.
