Looking for some specialty hardware

[Joe Cowan]

I am building a combo storm/screen door. I will be replacing the framed screen piece with a framed glass piece occasionally. I need a (not sure what to call it) threaded cam lock device to recess into each corner that I can turn with a screwdriver and release the frame to pop out of the door. I think it would be called a cam lock device, but I do not need it to lock. I would be cutting a slot on the female side for the cam to slide into when I want to secure the frame into the door. I saw a video on youtube on a factory made door using this hardware, but so far have not been able to find it online.

I built a storm and screen door for my house with interchangeable window and screen inserts.
Wanted the same kind of cam lock device you are seeking.
I don't remember the name of the device but I found it at a local hardware store.

If I remember correctly, they had to order it for me. It was a while ago.
One of those great old time hardware stores that has everything.
No connection other than happy customer.

I have not looked locally yet as it seems to be an odd item, thus long odds of finding it. Also, if I do not even know what the proper name is, that makes it tougher.

Looks like I was in the wrong forum. Sorry, do not know how to move.
