Help! Missing hinge
I am missing the right hand hinge (5 x 5 inches) for my entry door that I am having installed. Anyone have a similar one or know where I could find one fast. Thanks

Oh my gosh, I saw a bunch of hardware just like this listed cheap on eBay (sep listings, same seller) last week. Not sure I’ll remember the seller but I’ll try to find it again.

It appears to be a lift-off hinge as opposed to a loose pin hinge. If you want to re-use it you’ll need to find a matching lift-off hinge. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to ever reproduce these types of hinges. I think salvage places our your best bet. http://www.thebrassknob.com and http://www.urbanremainschicago.com always seem to have quite large selections of hardware. Email them with a pic of what you need.
I’ve had great success with a lot of hardware restorations / replacements from:

It would be a special order item.. but they are usually fast.. try Simon’s Hardware in Manhattan.. they are fantastic. I’ve been very successful finding fittings for my clients in brownstones there.
Try House of Antique Hardware for repro hinges. Probably won’t find an exact match, but likely to find something with a similar aesthetic.
