The also carry lock sets, door knobs, door plates, stained glass, 6 panel doors, etc. The cool thing about this place is that all of the stuff that they sale comes from all of the historic homes around the south that are being demolished. Look them up, good luck. Here in my hometown we have a store called SECOND CHANCE (Macon, Georgia) and they have boxes and boxes full of these hinges.

It may need some cleaning up, but not always. Around here anyway, when an old structure is taken down, the hardware, doors, sinks and all else can end up at the Habitat store. A very old and historic school recently came down and everything went to Habitat. Wow, what a trip down memory lane!

I don't think the made in china hinges will last 80 years. That's a lot of money for hinges, I would go for the modern ones for sure. More people are going to notice the lockset anyways.

They are usually in the section where they have the the solid brass box hinges and box handles. I can't recall the price but I think its less than ten dollars a set. I have only seen them in polished brass but they may have other finishes. if not, you can get some bronze spray paint and make them match I have bought all my hinges at Home Depot and then bought the ball tip hinge pins (made by Stanley) and they look great.
