Another place is Lee Valley.
leevalley.com
As above, asking for a catalog is a good idea. Not all items can be
found on their web site.

Solid brass hardware is never cheap. I would consider $4.00 fairly
inexpensive for brass. There are a lot of materials to consider, so
perhaps you should look further to see what else might appeal to you.

Get whatever the Mrs. likes. If she doesn't care, get the cheapest
ones you like. Then if you decide to change them 3 yrs from now it
won't hurt so bad.

http://www.leevalley.com/ Great hardware & tools. Decent prices.
Great service. The catalogs are coffee table books with soft
covers.

Just a WAG here, based on the name, but I think the OP *is* the Mrs.
