Where to buy tool chest hardware?

[Tyler-James]

I picked up this older tool chest this weekend. I need to replace one of the drawer pulls, as it was loose and when I opened the drawer, it pulled out (no pun intended). I'm not sure what the proper name of it is (if it should be called a pull, or a knob, or whatever), but I can't find one at the local Aubuchon. They are riveted in, and I'm just wondering where I can find a replacement.

Also, there is no name on the chest, so I don't know if this part is specific to one brand or another. If anyone recognizes the manufacturer of this chest, I might be able to contact them for a replacement.

Thanks.

Hi there,

I just bought a tool chest this past weekend (pics to follow once I get it home, currently at my in-laws waiting for a trip into the city) and it has a broken rivet too.

Doing some searching, they are known as tubular rivets. Someone tried to use a split rivet to band-aid the drawer pull on mine, so I can just pop it out and put a new one in. eBay has a ton of them available, as do a lot of online retailers. There's ones for leatherwork and ones for metalwork, from what I've seen. You would just put the rivet through the door pull, then through the hole in the door, then peen it out using a hammer to make it catch on the inside of the door.

Square it off, drill and tap, re-install with a screw. Solder in a plug if not enough "meat" for tapping.

I got my rivets on ebay.
