	Try Thomas Register - search for "door hardware"

	There is some really fine quality hardware out there.  When my
friends 
and I cleared out Newport Mining Co. back ca. 1983, we got about 250 
sets of solid brass knobs and correspondingly high quality locks, 
hinges, etc.  These ran between $200 and $400 apiece in  1981 dollars - 
brand new remodel had to be hacked out due to asbestos abatement in the 
Pan Am building.  Absolutely top-drawer materials throughout.  My point 
is that it is out there and TR should be as good a source of information 
as any and better than most.
