Just a Few of the Thousands of Products We’ve Created

We also can buy from eBay and Amazon on behalf of those customers who are prohibited. If we can’t find it…we’ll make it!

Umbrella Lock

After a poolside table umbrella took flight on a windy day, causing damage and possible injury, we were called in to troubleshoot. We created a windproof locking solution. No tools required.

Curtain Parts

A customer struggled with a cable drive mechanism having to be re-strung frequently. We created a quick-change module that corrects a 2-hour problem in 90 seconds. One tool needed.

Blank-Offs

A customer had a problem with souvenir seekers stealing sidewalk blank-off plates. We replaced them with gold powder-coated blank-off plates bearing the casino logo and secured with custom security screws.

Sconce Locks

A customer complained that their hallway sconces were subject to pranksters tilting lights off-kilter. We created and installed locking devices that maintain permanent vertical orientation. Once again, no tools needed.

Canopies

A customer had trouble with a UV-damaged canopy over an outdoor cafe. We replaced it with 35-year UV-resistant pliable material.

Elevator Rails

Bumps and dings on elevator rails can make a five-star resort look tacky. We created a hardened, heavy-duty version that resists dents.

Louvres

Finials

Some resorts have problems with souvenir-takers stealing the finials from the tops of lampshades. When finials are no longer available from the manufacturer, we make identical or custom versions.

Louvres

When a customer discovered that better air circulation could be achieved in resort rooms by changing the fixed orientation of wooden louvres, we were asked to build, paint, and deliver nearly 4,000 louvres.

Misters

Complaining that there are few credible mister servicing companies in Las Vegas, several of our resort customers asked us to lend our reputation to replacing entire misting systems. We have done so to the benefit of all concerned.

Stanchion Ropes

Outside stanchion ropes are affected by UV light. Our fortified stanchion ropes are made to withstand 300 pounds without losing the ends, helping to prevent legal issues.

Front Features

Underwater Front Features have issues when they function in a corrosive environment. We have created components that go beyond anti-corrosion standards when made with space-age plastics.

Water Chiller Dam

A customer has a need to isolate sections of water collection beneath their water chillers. We were able to create a dam that snaps into place, replacing a cold 45-minute, wet, messy job of ratcheting down soggy plywood.

Bubble Switch

A customer presented us with the leftover pieces of a wall-mounted bubble switch control head. We exactly recreated a fully functioning replacement for the obsolete part.

High-Pressure Nozzle

A pressurized waterfront feature was using steel nozzles for their water jets. We were able to recreate these in bronze and stainless steel for a lower cost than the steel ones they were previously buying.

Light Diffusers

A customer had cracked, missing, and broken light diffusers in a high-profile area. We were able to supply them with longer-lasting acrylic diffusers.

Umbrella Slide

Umbrellas made for resort poolside tables all use a version of the wooden center slide hub. Wood tends to crack long before the umbrella wears out, so we provide these hubs made of Delrin (space-age plastic) or made of stainless steel.

Super Vent

Hotel guests complained of a whining noise from vibrations at their room windows. It was discovered that the culprit was the airflow device not closing all the way. We devised a simple locking mechanism that attaches to either end, securing the vent closed.

Tee Screws

A customer complained that housekeeping keeps bumping the full-length mirrors in their rooms with vacuum cleaners, thus loosening the mirror from the wall. The mirrors all use a tee slot and screw head to secure it to the wall. The problem was that the sheetrock was crumbling and allowing the sheetrock screw to become loose. We created a tee-slotted machine screw and backplate that never comes loose unless removed. No tools required.

Amphitheater Arm Rest Repair

A customer had several amphitheater chair arms that were broken. We produce a much stronger version that will withstand 400 lbs.

Obsolete Lutron Switch

When we were asked to create replacements for obsolete Lutron switches, we did so exactly so that no difference could be determined.
