Please help.
I am looking for a knockdown connector bolt. This is the style with a large head and screw which goes into a cross dowel. I have found them in black oxide and bronze. I want nickel or brushed SS. I have seen them in furniture so I know they exist, but I can’t find them on the internet. Thanks

Even the best search engine only gets 15% of what's out there. Lots of hardware isn't offered to the consumer and is special to the manufacturer only. Obviously if one is buying thousands of units and you want it in a special finish a hardware maker will easily make a slight adjustment. On the other hand for small specialty harware is easily made. I worked as a Metalsmith doing just that. It's not that difficult to make or modify your own hardware for a small job. We used to make stainless, brushed nickel, bright nickel, black nickel hardware for eclusive clients. Definitely pricey and requires some different skills but certainly doable.
Then again you probably haven't looked enough. Not everything is on the web.
