source for “older home hardware”

silver77 | Posted in General Discussion on

Hi,

For an older home I’m remodelling I need a center hung floor closer or eqiuvalent.(hidden/fits

under door on hinge side with steel pin on head jamb)

My local dealer quoted $1365. can.!

I’m looking for another source US or Canadian and any help would be most appreciated.

For that same job I also need 4 x 4 butt hinges in hammered bronze and a passage set to match…am also looking for a source for these.

Thank-you!

      RH also does alot of demolition recovery and they may actually have an original part of what you are looking for. As I'm local, its easy to go down and poke through their lot adjacent to the main retail store. Not sure how they handle a customer over any distance. If visiting Portland, it is a worthwhile destination.
