In fact, it\u2019s been doing it for nearly 75 years with specialized items such as decorative handrails, fencing and gates. But now with the recent COVID-19 pandemic, like so many other businesses, it\u2019s getting requests for new ways of doing things.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur historic old company has been asked to produce more consumer safety products,\u201d Robert Fortin, product developer, says. \u201cSpecifically, \u2018new norm\u2019 products that will soon be popping up everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fortin Ironworks has now added foot pulls, touchless keys and mask brackets to its product lineup. The company is equipped with high-tech laser machines which can create beautifully engraved, custom pieces that not only look good, but can help businesses with branding and create that personal touch (or touchless) experience for individuals who enjoy artisan creations too.<\/p>\n<p>These new foot pulls and touchless keys are designed to limit the number of items that people have to touch on a daily basis. Foot pulls are easy to install, touchless keys are easy to use and eye-catching face mask brackets ensure that people are not just another face in the crowd.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/20-0430s2p-fortin-touchless-key-696x522.jpg\" alt=\"Fortin Ironworks&#039; Touch Less Door Opener Key\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/20-0430s2p-fortin-touchless-key-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/20-0430s2p-fortin-touchless-key-696x522-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><br \/>\n\u201cWe can engrave just about anything on these foot pulls, touchless keys and mask brackets from logos and names to school mascot images and many organizations are asking for that,\u201d Fortin says.<\/p>\n<p>Foot pulls are ideal for hospitals, schools, restaurants and factories &#8211; basically anywhere there are high numbers of people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a new world out there and we plan to be part of it for years to come,\u201d Fortin says. \u201cWe want our consumers to move into the future with confidence and are committed to our mission to protect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about custom metal fabrication: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fortinironworks.com\/metal-fabrication\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.fortinironworks.com\/metal-fabrication\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>About Fortin Ironworks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Founded in 1946, Fortin Ironworks got its start as a small iron repair shop.
