An extremely unique and a much needed store. We recently bought a 1910 bungalow and often need big/small replacement items for the home. The Old House Parts Company has been our one stop shop for unique and functional items from doors to sinks for the past two years. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful, like a. walking encyclopedia!
We can’t thank you enough! We’re always happy to help and look forward to your next visit!

This place is amazing! So many great antique finds for an old home renovation, from old keys to large windows and doors and everything in between! It is also very neat and tidy for ease of looking.
Thank you Katherine! We’re so happy you enjoyed it!

I needed an antique brass/brass plated twist knob cabinet latch. I didn't see any on the website but took a chance and emailed the description/dimensions of what I was looking for. Mike got back to me within a few hours with photos of 2 knobs. Both were the exact size I needed. The one I chose cleaned up beautifully while still showing signs of age and twists smoothly. The best part was that Mike made sure to put used flat head screws in with the latch. It's hard to find these at a box store and match the patina so I really appreciated the attention to detail. I will definitely shop here again.
Thank you Jenn for taking the time to leave this review and post the photos. We're so happy Mike was able to find the cabinet latch you needed. Working with him is like taking a time machine back to an old hardware store!
