I am trying to find some replacement cabinet handles for an antique china cabinet that used to be my great grandmothers. All the new cabinet handles seem to be at a standard 3" on center for the mounting screw location. Well the ones I have are about 1 1/4" on center and seem to be very hard to find replacements for. I do not want to drill through the wood so I can fit new handles on the cabinet. I want to at least see if i can find replacements first. I still have to try a special order at a couple places, but other then that I am stumped. Any one have any suggestions?

 

Try some antique shops .Sometimes they have box lots that have old handles,or hinges,that kind of thing.I'v found hard to locate items this way.Good luck with your project.

 

Derick try "Rockler's" woodworking supply. They carry a lot of hardware items. Click on hardware, then ***** & pulls, etc.... Here is a link to the online catalog.

Swap Meet's & Flea Market's.

 

This place has everything reproduction from hardware to light fixtures.

This may seem stupid because I'm not sure exactly what kind of handles your looking for.

Did you check Mills Fleet Farm? The closest on to you is St. Cloud? Correct? Or do they have one down in Princton area?

I'm always in there home improvment area & see that they stock several different types on handles, *****, ect. for cupboards & drawers.

 

Try Restoration Hardware's website - they have everything

Thanks guys. All of the links look promising and all have handles that look similar. I think I will have to email the places to find out some more info on some stuff. Not all of them have specified the center to center length for the mounting screws.

Parks911, The Saint Cloud/Wait Park Fleet Farm is the closest. I was actually just there. I had the old handle in my pocket for comparison but forgot to even check. I don't know if they will have anything though. Even though they have so much stuff, everything I was looking for in there was gone. There are a couple of custom cabinet shops along 23 that I am going to give a call to see what they know as well.

 

If worse comes to worse you can always see if they can custom make you a new handle to fit your needs.

Even though, it will still be new it will have the retro look.

The Mills in Waite Park seems small to me, I've been their a couple of times. Baxter is 2-3 times the size of the Waite Park store.
What I don't understand about them is there HOME first business adventure with the car dealerships & fleet supplies are here, but their Corporate Headquarters are in Wisconsin.
