Good morning all.
Just wondering if anyone has an idea where I might be able to find some pocket door pulls (and locks) that have a bit of character to them. I’ve found plenty of victorian ones, but they’re a bit more ornate than what I’m looking for. I’ve also found the contemporary stamped metal types, but I’m not too keen on them.
I’ve searched the net to no avail. I do have a sister who makes a living as a welder and cast bronze sculptor, so I may have the option of asking her to do something for me. No idea what it would cost, but if I asked her to do the cabinet hardware too, I’d be assured of a perfect match. Plus it would be kinda cool to have her work and mine together like that.
If anyone has a suggestion, I’m all ears.
Thanks
Froed

I just threw out the catalog but Van Dykes has what I belive you are looking for (I did not check their on-line catalog).

Thanks Archy,
I have the Van Dyke's catalog, and they do have a couple pulls on-line, but I was hoping to find something with a bit more, um, style. I've also found a couple pulls I like, but nothing with a lock. All kinds of door knobs, but since pocket doors aren't all that common, the selection is limited.
I'm keeping the Van Dyke's hardware in mind, in case I come up empty elsewhere.
Thanks again.
