Re: Doors falling off

[Austin R. Baer]

Woodworker's Supply (1-800-645-9292) 1108 North Glenn Road, Casper Wyoming 82601 has a variety of threaded inserts of the type Chuck Poe and Carl Fritz descibed. They list sizes for 8-32, 1/4-20, 5/16-18 and 3/8-16 machine screws (wood hole sizes 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" and 1/2" respectively). They also have hanger bolts (double-ended fasteners with a wood screw thread on one end and a machine thread on the other), as well as a variety of other unusual furniture-grade fasteneners, including bronze, and a line of thin shank, sharp-threaded screws that are designed to provide better holding with less chance for splitting. The web address might be www.woodworker.com but I'm not sure. Austin
