Members craftsman827 Posted August 27, 2013 Members Report Posted August 27, 2013 Anyone know where I can purchase screw on key posts. They are like chicago screws but smaller in diameter to fit through a key. I inclosed a photo of one I made years ago. I use to get them from S-T leather, but they don't carry them any more. Quote
raysouth Posted August 27, 2013 Report Posted August 27, 2013 Hello Craftsman, You might take a look through Ohio Travel Bag site as I know they carry many different sizes. Catalog is large. God Bless. Ray Quote
Members SeattleLeather Posted August 30, 2013 Members Report Posted August 30, 2013 This guy below specializes in Chicago Screws. Since they're similar he might know something if none of his stuff works for your purpose. Cool thing is he sells in reasonable quantities, and (something that matters to me) is almost everything he sells is made in the USA or Canada. So no junk. I emailed him before with questions and he was super helpful. http://www.chicagoscrews.com/ Is a sub site just with Chicago Screws Their "main" site is https://www.mc2office.com/ Hope this helps some!

Tree Reaper Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) If those don't work, you may have to modify the keys to fit the screw post. Edited September 4, 2013 by Tree Reaper Quote
Northmount Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Had a Tandy email today where they are clearing out the key posts. So try the Tandy site. Tom Quote

Matt, I was lookin for them for a long time. About 3 months ago, Tandy had a close out on there on-line site. I looked for them today for you, but they are no longer on sale. If I come accross them again, I'll let you know. Quote
