Topic tags/keywords: hardware boxes hinges latches question resource I looked at leevalley.com because I saw an ad, but I wasn’t very impressed with their selections or price.

It all depends on what type of hardware you are looking for. If you are looking for something like quadrant or slot hinges, Craft Inc. is the place to look. -- Randy - "I dont make mistakes, I make design change opportunities" www.knotheadswoodshed.com |

Steve, This probably isn’t the answer you are looking for, but making my own wooden hinges, etc is the most fun of the whole process for me. -- " I'll try to be nicer, if you'll try to be smarter" gfadvm |

The first hinges that I had used were from San Diego Hardware and they were good but when I reorder a second batch I had a problem with the support arms on the San Diego Hardware hinge. San Diego Hardware did return my money. I then found hinges at Superior Hardware Supply ” and they were the same size as the original hinges from San Diego Hardware. I also think that the finish was batter on Superior Hardware hinges. I only paid $6.00 a set for them. The Superior Hardware Supply part number is SH-QHPB the hinge size is 1-23/32” x1-3/16” and they are polished brass. I also wrote a blog on installing quadrant hinges. -- Jake Brain, Florida |
