Simply, the best hardware source for the best in hardware

by merenly

Sheraton pulls & Duncan Phyfe feet are displayed like jewelry behind glass; whole housefuls of matching victorian door hinges a la japonais hang from pegs. a wall of milk crates waist high and several deep,bisects the store front to back. all carefully sorted and labeled as to their contents: mortise and other style hard-to-find door locks and lock parts . then there are the fixtures--gas, electric, and i have even seen whale oil lamps at Liz's.

Having sold to her I can say she is quite shrewd, has an excellent eye and deals fair. Plus she is courteous, even while telling you she isn't interested in the fixture you have brought in.

• Pros: no one else has it (that perfect item)
• Cons: it may have been waiting there for you for years and you may have to pay its back rent

Old and New Hardware Extravaganza

by Ngila

Liz's Antique Hardware offers consumers both antique hardward and more modern and custom designed hardware. I think they have the best selection in town. And you can find ANYTHING here - from window closures to chrome soap holders to door knockers. Even if you're not looking for hardware, stop in and take a look as the store is filled from floor to ceiling with items.
