FAQ: Trunk Hardware
What hardware do I need for a trunk?
A trunk usually needs locks or latches, hinges, corner protectors, handle hardware, fasteners, and sometimes lid stays, brackets, decorative tacks, or feet.
How do I choose trunk hardware for restoration?
Measure the old part footprint, screw-hole spacing, panel thickness, lid overlap, and corner radius before ordering replacement hardware.
Can trunk hardware be installed on leather-covered projects?
Yes. Account for leather and lining thickness before choosing screw length, rivet post length, lock position, hinge clearance, and corner protector fit.
Should trunk hardware finishes match?
Matching finishes across locks, hinges, corners, handles, rivets, tacks, and feet gives a cleaner finished trunk. Mixed finishes can work when they are intentional and repeated.
