This is rather a ghastly design, but you get the idea; more here.
or a boot scraper.Looks like someone has repurposed a fireguard.

Might cost £60 to actually verify - but this might work? The basic dimensions seem to be in the ballpark.I'm meaning more in terms of a holder which can be used in a restaurant for people to help themselves to. Thanks though.
I think the top is a couple of cm too wide for BS national so the frame will just slide down inside rather than resting along the top. Might still work...Might cost £60 to actually verify - but this might work? The basic dimensions seem to be in the ballpark.

After regular business trips to Eastern Europe & Türkiye - I've come across these quite often in Hotels.
Someday - I'll track down a Türkiye or Eastern Europe supplier - as there must be one.

At how simple that design is - might be worth taking a national frame down to the local college and seeing if they can fabricate a few as part of an exercise for the apprentices? Or even the local metal work fabrication place?I think the top is a couple of cm too wide for BS national so the frame will just slide down inside rather than resting along the top.

I've not bought from them, but this one they sell looks simple enough to fabricate for someone with metalworking skills. It looks very similar to the one you linked in post #84.At how simple that design is - might be worth taking a national frame down to the local college and seeing if they can fabricate a few as part of an exercise for the apprentices?

At £60 its still a cheaper bet to try than for example this £160 version from Aussie land (not including import taxes I'm assuming).

Obviously designed for Langstroth but with an adjustable screw - there might be enough reach to fit a national frame. Problem is that there are no details listed apart from total overall size. @Antipodes might be able to give advice on whether those guys/girls are OK to work with.
I had three made for us last year. All stainless construction.Resurrecting this thread...
For those of you selling frames to hotels etc. who have it for guests to help themselves to, does anyone know where I might find a frame holder for this purpose which fits national shallow frames?
TIA
