The Catalog Doesn't Have It — Because It Isn't a Catalog Part
Standard door hardware is easy to buy. The problem is the part that isn't standard: a lock cam from a cabinet whose maker closed years ago, a marine compression latch that's been discontinued, a strike plate that has to match an old non-standard hole pattern, or a heavy-duty hinge in a size no supplier lists. Search the catalogues and you hit a wall — the part exists on your door, but not on any shelf.
That's the part EKINSUN makes. Send the worn or broken original — or a sketch and photos — and we machine a replacement that fits your door, in the right material for where it lives. No CAD file, no catalogue number, single pieces welcome.
Door Hardware We Make
Most of these are reproduced from your worn original, with no drawing needed:
Lock components
Cams, spindles, cylinder housings, retainers and actuators — the internal parts that fail and can't be bought separately. Custom & replacement lock cams →
Latches
Compression, cam, roller, spring and quarter-turn latches, including marine and cabinet types.
Strike & keeper plates
Standard, heavy-duty and marine strike plates, plus keeper and reinforcement plates to match an existing hole pattern. Custom & replacement strike plates →
Hinges
Butt, marine, concealed, heavy-duty and weld-on hinges, plus hinge pins and bushings. Custom & replacement hinges →
Handles
Pull, lever, grab and T-handles in metal — reproduced to the original profile and fixing centres.
Panic & marine fittings
Panic-bar components, dog clamps, wheel handles and locking pins for industrial and marine doors.
When the Catalog Fails You
These are the situations where buying off the shelf stops working — and where a made-to-order part is the only real fix:
- Discontinued or obsolete — the maker stopped supplying it, or closed. See obsolete & discontinued parts.
- Non-standard hole pattern or backset — the door was drilled for a part that no current product matches; we work to your existing holes.
- Odd or legacy sizes — old imperial or metric sizes that fall between today's standards.
- Marine or harsh-environment grade — you need it in 316 stainless or bronze, not the zinc casting the catalogue sells.
- One internal part of an assembly — the whole lock or latch is fine except for one broken cam or spindle.
Made From Your Old One
Send the part or photos
Mail the worn or broken hardware, or send photos with one known dimension and the hole spacing. We confirm what's usable first.
Measure & rebuild
We measure the part and the holes it must match, recover the original size from any wear, and rebuild the CAD. How reverse engineering works →
Confirm, machine & ship
You approve the drawing (free), then we machine, finish and inspect it. Reproducing from a sample →
Materials — Built for Where the Door Is
Marine & outdoor
316 stainless for saltwater and deck exposure; aluminium bronze and naval brass where you want corrosion resistance with a traditional finish.
316 stainless →Interior & industrial
304 stainless, steel, brass and aluminium for cabinet, panel and interior door hardware — strong, with plating or anodising options.
304 stainless →Wear & quiet parts
Bronze and engineering plastic for hinge bushings, rollers and low-friction parts that need to move smoothly and last.
Hinge bushings →
What to Send Us
- The worn or broken part, or photos from several angles (a ruler in shot helps)
- The hole spacing / fixing centres and one known dimension — critical for door hardware to fit
- What it is and where it's used (interior, cabinet, marine, industrial door)
- Material or finish you need — or ask us to advise for the environment
- Quantity — one to fix a door, or a matched set for a refit
- Delivery country (we ship worldwide)
No CAD, no catalogue number, no problem. Rebuilding the geometry is our job — free, and confirmed with you before anything is cut. See how to order with no CAD file.
A note on branded hardware. We make a compatible replacement to the original's form, fit and function from what you supply. We don't sell branded original products and don't imply affiliation with any door-hardware brand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — the most common reason people come to us for door hardware. Send the worn or broken original, or photos with a measurement. We rebuild the geometry, confirm the CAD for free, then machine the replacement. No catalogue number, drawing or CAD file needed.
Yes. Non-standard hole patterns, odd backsets and one-off sizes are exactly where catalogue hardware fails and custom-made parts win. We work to your existing holes and dimensions so the new part fits the door you have.
Lock components (cams, spindles, cylinder housings, retainers, actuators), latches (compression, cam, roller, spring, marine), strike and keeper plates, hinges (butt, marine, concealed, heavy-duty, weld-on, plus pins and bushings), handles (pull, lever, grab, T-handle), panic-bar components, and marine fittings like dog clamps and wheel handles.
Yes. For saltwater and deck exposure we machine in 316 stainless, with 304, naval brass, aluminium bronze and aluminium also available depending on strength and finish. We pick the material to suit where the door lives.
We make a compatible replacement to the original's form, fit and function from the sample, sketch or photos you supply. We don't sell branded originals or imply affiliation with any door-hardware brand.
Yes — one piece, no setup fee on machined parts. A single replacement latch, cam or hinge to get a door working is welcome, and we also make small batches of matched hardware for a refit or fleet.
Send the part or photos and you get a quote within 24 hours. After approval a single machined part is usually days, not weeks. CAD reconstruction is free with your quote.
