Does anyone know of a place that carrys a good hardware range (hinges, screws,ect) in Victoria???? just got back from Bunnings, looking for a couple of flat hinges, nothing fancy found some for $2 but no screws so I go 3 isles over to the screws and guess what every thing but the screw I need 10g x 19mm or less, so I go back to the hinges and see they have the same hinge in a pack with screws $19 I mean same Zinc coated hinge now why would I pay $12 (screws would have cost me $3) for a package I'm going to toss in the bin

you're welcome, I've been going there for around 18 years and only once did I have to look else where for a particular piece of hardware.

Hi Al.

I would if I could. But I'm really supprised living in the U.S.A. you should have this and more. I guess you must'nt live in a big city.
Try the internet as I've sourced various items from the U.S.A. for work purposes which I could not get here. (all electronic components)

Regards

Gino
