eagles100 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 We're having some cabinets made by a local carpenter and we want to select our our pulls and handles, Lakeside. Last January, I bought some hardware for other pieces of furniture and was satisfied. I can't remember the store name but it was a ferretería and I'd be able to find it. It's in Ajijic, mountain side of the Carratera, past the downtown core. I'm looking for other places with even more selection, if there are any, with brushed chrome or nickel hardware would be nice.

El Saltos Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 The Prisa Paint store next to Intercam has a good selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagles100 Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I don't know where the Prisa paint store or Intercam are. Could you elaborate please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Saltos Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Intercam is an investment house and currency exchange located next to the OXXO in Ajijic directly across the street from Trattoria Ajijic. The Prisa store is immediately west of Intercam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexnow Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I am looking for a source for cabinet hardware. In this case I am trying to find rustico styled hinges, handles, and lock for an old wooden chest. If you know of a store that handles this type of hardware I would appreciate hearing about it.

cedros Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 The Prisa/Truper store in downtown Ajijic has quite a good selection of such hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Mexico Rustico may be able to help. Otherwise, if you want real antique hardware, or even reproductions, you will have to wander the streets of Tlaquepaque and Guadalajara.

Alfa Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I too am looking for hardware but in my case a pair of hinges. They are rather unusual having a large round bit that is sunkinto the counter and a long arm that connect to the door. Anyway, I will try this shop and see. thanks for the information.

El Saltos Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 There is a small maderaria (lumber shop) on the lateral opposite the Casa de Waffle that has a good selection of such cabinet hinges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 If you have an antique piece of hardware and cannot find another, take it to a local ironworker. Some of these guys are true artists and can copy an item for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexnow Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Alfa Sounds to me like you are describing European hinges, one of the best and most popular hinge styles NoB. There are many different styles of European hinges but the way they attach with the sunken portion is the same for most of them. They have become very popular because of their ease of installation and how they can be adjusted to square after the installation of the door, and over time if for any reason the doors go out of square.

eagles100 Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I got some nice pulls and handles at the Prisa store today. When I went today, I remembered that this was the store I went to before, my mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Saltos Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Do you mean Amutio, the hardware store next to Farmacia Guadalajara? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfa Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 MEXNOW you are right about the hinges I need and I actually found them in the Prisa store. They are not as finely made as the original but will do the job. never knew about this source until it appeared on this site. Thanks.
