Links to Recommended Resources

Here are some related local businesses I sometimes work with and can recommend.  They offer top quality products, are honest and easy to deal with:

Decorum Hardware was an icon of Portland, Maine's Old Port for over 30 years. In June of 2010 they moved to a new more convenient location in Falmouth, Maine. Decorum's offerings include an extensive array of resources for door and cabinet, kitchen and bath specialty hardware and accessories.  Located at 234 Middle Road, Falmouth, Maine 04105 - (207) 772-1096

Nostalgia Lighting is located within Decorum's showroom (see above).  Here you'll find friendly staff who offer handcrafted  interior and exterior lighting fixtures, made-to-order.  They also repair most lighting fixtures that need rewiring, a new socket or switch. 

Permanon Finishes is a revolutionary new nano-engineered surface and finish protection product developed in Germany. Never wax, buff or polish again! Now available in the United States it is incredibly easy to apply to any hard surface (including varnished wood), protecting it better and longer than any wax or wax-like product.  Permanon takes "spray and wipe" to a whole new level for cars, trucks, boats/yachts, RV's, buses, and motorcycles...even interior surfaces including vinyl, rubber, plastic, metal fixtures, tile, granite, soapstone and coated wood...ANY hard, non-porous surface.

Horton Brasses - Offers a wide range of historic, period hardware.  Most everything from William & Mary period to Art Nouveau.
