Your Best Source for Unique Hardware.
Sourcing the Final Touches Is Easier than You Think.
Over the years we have seen too many completed renovations where hardware seems like an afterthought. It's such a shame when beautifully made or restored doors are appointed with lesser quality doorknobs and hinges, with little attention given to quality and detail. Just like the perfect fashion accessory, gorgeous hardware will complement and enrich the look you are creating, so it's worth sourcing something special.
At The Door Store we offer an alternative to commercially available hardware with both restored vintage hardware as well as several lines of unique reproduction alternatives. By using modern mechanisms and antique fittings our expert staff can help you customize door, window and cabinet hardware to give your home a personal touch without sacrificing security and function.

Best of all, everything is fully restored, complete with screws and fasteners and in perfect working condition. And with decades of experience in the field, we are confident that we can help you achieve the look you're after. Whether you're building, renovating or restoring, our knowledgeable staff will be happy to advise you.
Hardware Restoration
A New Outlook for Old Hardware.
We offer a complete service in bringing your old hardware back to life. Before you toss out your old hardware, bring in a sample and we will be happy to show you what we can do with it. You will be surprised at what can lie beneath the old rusted and painted facade!
Repairs are usually possible, but because of the uniqueness and individuality of some of the parts, we can only try. Sometimes there is nothing left to be done but to replace the item, and chances are we have one just like it, or very close! Just ask.

Products Tips.
Shopping for Hardware? Be Prepared!
There are no standards when it comes to antique hardware. If you want us to fix something, replace something, or even if you're starting from scratch, save yourself time and hassles by taking a few measurements before you visit us, and bring in whatever you're trying to match or replace. We can't have too much information! Bring in knobs, spindles, set screws, locks, whatever you have. Don't assume that any knob can fit with any plate or that any spindle will thread into any knob or, if you're trying to match something, that "you'll know it when you see it"! Also, locks vary in many different dimensions. Bring in your lock or, if you're missing one, wrap a piece of paper around your door and do a pencil rubbing: this will tell us how thick your door is, where and how big the holes are, and what size plate is chiselled out on the edge of the door for the latch.
Missing a Knob or an Escutcheon?
Bring it in or email us a picture and we'll see what we can find for you.
