   It's always fun to look at what VanDykes has. In a hardware store, I'm like the proverbial kid in the candy store! Sorry it didn't help you. I forgot about Lee Valley.

   I was watching a John Wayne movie the other day and I could swear that the barroom doors that he came in through raised and then lowered with brass hindges.

   Or maby a partition company.

   Lee Valley might have some.  They have a fairly thick hardware catalog I haven't looked through yet.

   They're not on the web site, but you might ask Clement Hardware if they can get them for you.  Their price on the hinges I used on my windows is 13% less than the site you found.

   The copper run-up has impacted the price of brass hinges.  The ones I got for $1100 would cost $2400 today.

   Thanks for the tip!  I called them though and they said they couldn't get anything like that for me.

    

   It seems strange that a product like this that could potentially be a real problem solver is so hard to find.  Everybody knows what it is, but nobody can get it!Rebuilding my home in Cypress, CA

   Have you tried this place? I found it when I googled "rising hinges".

   I saw that before too.  That is a business to business site though.  Another one similar to it offered minimal quantities of 5000 pairs!Rebuilding my home in Cypress, CA

   You might broaden your search a bit and search for "Self-closing" hinges.  Like the ones in restaurant kitchen doors.  Some have springs, but a lot have the 'rising' hinges.

   In 1997, I got some from Renovater's Supply, but they stopped carrying them since. You did briliantly finding the sources you did!

   Apparently they are all the rage in the UK!  I had a bunch of sites from there pop up in my search... now I'm negotiating with a guy with a box of 5 pairs for sale - we'll see what happens!Rebuilding my home in Cypress, CA
