Spanish term

pomel, pomeles

Non-PRO Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering structure/framework assembling
Hello Everyone,

Could, please, somebody tell me how do you say "pomeles" in English?

Context: "Montaje de puertas de acceso mediante pomeles."

I am talking about this little metal piece:

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

agree Juan Pablo Sans : picaporte también

agree Orlando W. Robson : make sure the context (door knob) is clear. Picaporte is door handle. Knob is generic for any type of button or handle. In U.K. it's also a colloquial term for an insult (idiot) or male genitalia

"Son bisagras desmontables, que cuentan con un pasador removible, lo que permite desarmarlas con facilidad y retirar la puerta sin necesidad de sacar los tornillos. Al igual que el resto de las bisagras hay que fijarlas por dentro para que no sean removidas desde el exterior."
