AB  - The contribution deals with Czech and German historical terminology of window and door hardware in Bohemia and Moravia up to the 19th century when industrial production replaced hand-made products. Specialised locksmith manuals were published in German beginning with the last third of the 18th century: Duhamel (1769), Zipper (1801-1822), Hölzel (1827); the Czech manuals were published after 1884 (Večeř). Present-day terminology partially differs from the historical one and the meaning also shifted. The hardware types were primarily named after their place of origin. The article deals with the window and door hardware that enabled opening (hinges) and closing (swivels, locks, and other hardware). The division of the above-stated hardware types is emphasised as well as their naming used by workshop artisans during the second half of the 18th century and the 19th century.
