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
for Two Cars
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.
