Best place to buy door hardware (knobs, hinges)
Comments (11)I thought Homesurplus in NJ was pretty good. I didn't get wrecked by Sandy thankfully, but am doing a home reno. Handles were between $16 and $22. They have a few locations or you can have it delivered. I got 4 prehung pine doors, two bathroom vanities with granite/marble tops including back and sidesplashes, sinks, door hardware, and I think a few other things for about $1600. The only thing I was displeased with is that the doors did not take stain evenly in certain areas. It looked like some kind of oil had been flecked onto them. Sanding those areas down and restaining them fixed it, though. Here is a link that might be useful: Home Surplus door hardware...See MoreNeed hardware help please!
Comments (4)Emtek customer service were completely useless. I spoke to what sounded like a 15 year old petulant girl who had no suggestions whatsoever. Very off putting. : ( I don't care if it doesn't match particularly, but I'd like some continuity even if it's just the pewter finish....See MoreFixtures, knobs, door hardware.

Comments (5)Our doors arrived with black hinges. Generally you're able to specify the finish for hinges. Was this not an option? As Alison said, pictures would help a lot, of both your kitchen and also the light fixtures and pulls you're considering. Especially since I'm not quite clear on what this -- "My style is traditional with a tidbit of county" -- look like. I had planned on oil rubbed lighting, cabinet pulls, and plumbing fixtures. Some of the better ORB finishes are darker and look almost matte black to the eye. My cabinets are cream colored and the appliances are going to be stainless steal. When I realized our sink would be stainless steal too, I thought the ORB faucet would look funny with all the SS, but then again won't the SS faucet look funny with the ORB pulls? I would choose a stainless steel faucet. No, it wouldn't look funny with ORB pulls because stainless steel or chrome tends to be the default for faucets. People expect the kitchen faucet to be something like stainless steel or chrome. ORB tends to read as trendy, and in your kitchen with all the other ORB elements, it could also look a bit too matchy-matchy....See MoreKitchen Hardware Dilemma. Help Please!
Comments (7)It's about personal style, but also what is functional. I ended up doing all bar pulls on my drawers and cabinets, because I thought about not just my hand size but my husband's. I just changed the direction on the cabinets vs the drawers. The drawer pulls are horizontal and the pulls on the cabinets vertical. You can use brushed nickel in different sizes of the same style for doors vs drawers, or you can use the same size and do two pulls for the large drawers....See MorePanda83 Lover
