That's why I get 95% of my hardware needs from Burke Brothers,
on Hillsborough near the Fairgrounds in Raleigh.

Hear hear! I will second that emotion. They beat the warehouse places
hands down when you are looking for that specialty item. It truly is a
"hardware" store, with aisles crammed with esoteric things you can buy
just one of if you wish! They're in bins! Not plastic lids on cardboard
collections of 5 and 12 items....

Great staff, very knowledgeable.
