Where in the Detroit metro area could I find a thumb latch door handle and other similar antique hardware? It's for our front door and so I'd like it to match the style of the house. The thumb latch broke off of the original part many years ago. It looks similar to this:  Also, is there a name for this style? Acorn? Heart? Spade? | ||

If it does not have to be actually an "antique", you could try Russel Hardware on Woodward http://www.russellhardware.com / (Message edited by thnk2mch on November 25, 2007) | ||
