I didn't find what I'm looking for in my Lee Valley hardware catalog and the
only returns I get from Googling seem to be outfits that I've never heard
of. I'm looking for the latch hardware for a pocket door. I'm looking for
two things: the pull for the door edge to pull it out of its pocket and a
finger pull kind of thingie to be able to open the door when closed.
Here is what I have in mind for the edge pull:
http://www.antiquehardware.com/product/02007691/
And the cup pull: http://www.antiquehardware.com/product/02007704/
I don't really have a problem with the price, but I've never heard of the
referenced web site. If anyone is aware of a mainstream place that might
carry this stuff, please let me know.
Thanks,
todd
Not too hard when you look around:

I love Lee Valley also but they have a small collection
of hardware.
Jus because you never heard of them doesn't mean they
are not reputable.

I ran across this site in my searches. Just because they have a website
doesn't mean they *are* reputable, either. I was hoping someone might bring
up a company they had actually done business with. Have you ordered from
Johnson Hardware?

How about Van Dyke's Restorers (http://www.vandykes.com/) ? I remember
seeing pocket door hardware in their catalog the last couple of times I
looked.
Hope it helps,

They operate in two different countries.
They have been in business since 1958.
Yes, I have ordered from them.
They are one of the largest companies in the
world that sell this type of product.
They have a telephone:

They sell their products through dealers world wide.
Look at the list within 100 miles of you...

You're more careful than I as that site looks acceptable to me. On the
contact page they list their address, etc. If I was still not feeling
good I'd call the Chamber of Comm for the Woonsocket, SD area and
see what they have to say.
As you probably did, I googled door hardware and got many hits but as
you say, I don't recognize any of the names.
