I'm looking for some hinges. I found ones that I like at Rockler but they don't have the color I need (oil-rubbed bronze). The ones I was looking at were these 3/8" inset hinges like this http://images.rockler.com/rockler/images/35512-01-200.jpg.
I want to use non-mortise, somewhat decorative hinges and I'm having a tough time finding what I need.
Can you suggest some good sources for hinges? Thanks!

You could look in www.leevalley.com and http://www.hardwaresource.com/.
And http://www.horton-brasses.com has very good stuff -- maybe not exactly what you're looking for -- but very good stuff.

I used hardwaresource.com for hinges very similar to those. Fast and easy.

houseofantiquehardware.com and rejuvenation.com both have large quantities of stuff in oil rubbed bronze.
here, looks like an exact match...

I second Neil's suggestions, have used both with success, good stuff, and add Vandykes Restorers (Vandykes.com) as a possible source. I would also check SIGNITURE HARDWARE.com, they have many unique hinges and one of the nicest oil rubbed bronze finishes I have seen.

while we're at it, i've gotten most of the stuff i use from house of antique hardware, and while i like their hinges and window hardware, i kinda felt screwed by them on mortise locks, which i need for re-creation of old doors. i ordered a single lock set from them to check out the quality, and rather than the lock plate being finished the same as the knob plates, they sent a 1/32" stamped cover to go over it with the matching finish, which didn't even line up properly, the bolt dragged on it :(.
is there anywhere else on the net that sells mortise locks in oddball backset sizes? i've seen lots of places with 2.25 to 2.5 backset locks, but i need quite a few 1.75 backset mortise locks (also with an oiled bronze lock plate) but haven't found anywhere else that has odd sizes except HOAH.
