About Blackstage

Blackstage are restoration specialists based in the heart of the National Forest, Derbyshire. We also offer a large range of high quality reproduction rim locks and hardware.

"BBC2's Escape to the Country has just featured Blackstage in a Historic
House special edition, which first aired on Good Friday 2009. It showed our
blacksmiths forging a casement stay for Calke Abbey on behalf of the
National Trust. The presenter was Jules Hudson and we had great fun filming
it on December 15th 2008, although it was freezing!"
