Antique hardware is a specialty I have gotten into because of my many years of work on old houses. Often, a knob is missing, a lock set is broken or perhaps someone just wants old cabinet latches on new kitchen cabinets to match the existing hardware they have in their house. So over the years I have collect many unusual and beautiful pieces of hardware. I find old lock sets easy to work on and repair. In the time we live in so much is designed to be thrown away yet, most old hardware can be cleaned and repair to live another life. So even now when I see old door sitting by the trash I can't resist taking the time to see if there is some vintage hardware on them that can be salvaged. The beauty of the old cast and stamped hardware is easy to fall in love with.
I am always buying and selling hardware. So if you have an old can of hardware in your basement give me a call I would love to talk to you.
