SallyJ asks:
We have a customer with a black lacquered
Chinese chest with an approximateage of
20 years. The hardware on this piece consists of
two circular pieces that hold some sort
of bolt running through the circles parallel to
the door. The bolt is missing. We have no
supplier for oriental type hardware and would
appreciate hearing from anyone who
might be aware of a place to obtain the
replacement.
Thanks, everyone.
Sally
RichC replies:
Sally, I need two of those bolts and will probably have them cast if I can
find an original.
Do you have one? If not, then we will need a mockup model made of wood and
can
make the cast from that. If I know what common sizes are needed then I
might have
several made up, as
this is a recurrent problem.
I think this is a picture of what you are talking about:
Let me know,
RichC

Sally and Rich,
I think this is a photo of the hardware you are looking for.
They are available in different sizes. I might be able to get just the pin
