Tanglewood Conservatories Blog – Alan Stein's Writings about Custom Conservatory Design and More

A client who purchased a Tanglewood Conservatory about 10 years ago, needed a new part for his operable skylight vent. We quickly figured out what part was needed and sent it to him right away, even though we had to cannibalize our inventory. He wanted to put the part in himself so we walked him through the process.

Here’s what he had to say afterwards:

Tim, I received the chain yesterday (Friday) and your technician— ME, installed it today.
Also I found that lubrication and applied it. It works lake a champ!

While I was up there 19’ I lubed the other chain too in the other motor. My recommendation is to lubed them every 5 years or 50,000 open/closing’s which ever occurs first!

Thanks for all your help and Tom too. As far as Alan goes, well he’s the boss so he doesn’t need any recognition!

Thanks Alan for all you do! I LOVE my conservatory!!!!!
