Latches and hinges?

Posted by Reverend Hellgood on September 17, 2010 at 7:18pm in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion
Where do you guys get your latches and hinges from?  I want to replace the hinges on my current build, and add a latch as well.  I'd like to see what my options are.  I plan on leaning towards the ornate side on this build.  If I could find some brass art deco style stuff, I'd do cartwheels.

    Second on the ReStore (if you've got one in your area). The stuff they've got there usually has that "lived in" look already.

    often good stuff at the craft stores, like AC Moore, etc...

    Cool! Thanks for the suggestions.

    You could try Habitat for Humanity ReStore. They usually have hinges, drawer pulls, and so on in numerous quantities and styles. Some of it's new, some is vintage, but the stock is never the same twice.

    Lowes Etc also have some brass hinges.

    Check out CB Gitty in here, he has some nice looking hinges.
