Help me find these, I’m having no luck.
I have 3 pairs of wardrobe doors brand new that must have had the blocking for the handset left out or?
Dummys have fallen off ’cause Masonite will not hold a screw.
I want to through screw them with screw posts, bright or satin brass, but I can’t find them anywhere.
Help!!!!!!!!!!!

You mean like "catalog screws"? Any self-respecting hardware store should have them in zinc plated, though I don't offhand know if they're readily available in brass. (But a little coating of the right stain should fix that.)
Binding posts is what I get mostly. Doesn't seem to appropriate sizes/finishes for what I want.
May end up putting washers and nuts on the inside. No one in the closet to see them :)[email protected]
How long?
I bet mcfeely's or even your cabinet company. A great place for Information, Comraderie, and a sucker punch.

Doors are 1 3/8" plus the eschuteon at the handle (dummy one side)
Lots of entry handles have them for the bottom of the handle but I had no luck sourcing them that way.[email protected]
We're lucky here with a hardware wholesaler still keeping shop here in Toledo. They have all sorts of entry / cabinet sets and a lot of the parts that go with it on occasion.
The old style hardware across the river would have it too-shorter post and longer machine screw. You'd have to live with round head. That'd be for a dummy/escutchion that screws to the post on the interior of the door.
Comical how many dummy sets now come with two puny screws you face screw to a solid core door. A great place for Information, Comraderie, and a sucker punch.

Ace hardware...
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
Still working on it..............found them at McMasters as per a post........$4.50 a pop for brass.
I need 12 pcs, so we're talking over 50 bucks for a handful of screws.[email protected]
Do they have to be brass? They'll only show from the inside, right? Maybe something cheaper would be ok. A dab of stain could darken it and take the shine off.
I have six dummy knobs on closet doors that don't seem to have blocking in the right place.[email protected]
Ace would be a passel cheaper...Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming<!----><!----><!---->

We have ACE or True Value up the street. By fax he says he has them in aluminum.
I'll stop in when I get a second.
I'll take your offer as a back up if you don't mind.

Hillman fasteners has assortments of "barrel bolts" usually in aluminum, but the machine screw portion is usually a stock thread size that can be substituted with a brass machine screw from regulaur stock at a "good hardware store.
Also consider using a flat head brass machine screw thru the knob front and a brass washer and cap nut on the rear.
You could use a door bore jig to drill a 1" dia backset hole in the doors edge, insert with elmers glue a 1" dowel of the needed length for the brass wood screw to grab from the front of the door surface.
Wouldn't do very well if you are mounting the dummy in the middle of the panel though!

Great ideas![email protected]
how did you do????
about a T nut and a brass or brass plated machine screw???

Likely will do brass acorn nuts and flat washers.
It's call back work.[email protected]
You DO know about threaded POPRIVET inserts right?
Here is one kind...they be more types.

Have you checked the other side of the door? Left and right. You know wouldn't want to waste all that expensive blocking by putting it in both sides. Never know what they are doing sometimes.
Doors were prehung twins or wardrobe doors.
Entirely possible that the blocking got put in the wrong side, or the wrong side received the hinges.[email protected]
