Great Scotland Yard Hotel Ironmongery Case Study

Great Scotland Yard Hotel, London

This former Scotland Yard Police HQ and Ministry of Defence building are located in Westminister, London. Transformed into a luxury hotel in December 2019, the Great Scotland Yard Hotel is a 5-star establishment adorned with some of the sectors’ most intricate and bespoke ironmongery.

John Planck Ltd was contracted by Galliard Construction to deliver a comprehensive ironmongery schedule to over 750 doors for this project. From bespoke door handles, hinges to door knobs, the team designed and manufactured a range of unique standout pieces.

Key features of the ironmongery design include:

a hexagonal-shaped lever handle to the ground floor public areas
a colonial-style lever to the bedroom areas.
decorative ‘Elephant Head’ design pull handles
bespoke shaped lever handle backplates to compliment detailing on door paneling
bespoke-centered lock cases to suit
differing sized concealed hinges to suit the door construction and weights
‘power transfer’ hinges for access control solenoid locks within the doors
bespoke ‘bent’ key shape hooks to ensuite doors
sliding and swinging door automation
covered euro escutcheons to riser door cylinder locks
automatic acoustic drop-down seals to bedroom entrances
skirting and corridor wall corner guards
electronic RFID locker locks to the gymnasium area
bar foot rail and brackets
elephant shaped hooks
monogram ‘glass’ doorknobs with Great Scotland Yard logo
sliding pocket door gear, including to suit single panel over 3m wide and 2.5m tall

This Grade II listed Edwardian building is a delightful example of how architectural ironmongers can enhance even the most complex hotel renovation projects. You can read more about this project here.
