Coin Door Screws! What color?
GoPodular.com:
Menards may have them then. They have a wider variety of small hardware than Home Depot.
A "regular" hardware store would carry 1/4".

I will also check my local Ace Hardware see what they have. If anything I can paint the end of the bolt black.

TRUE DAT!
I spent lots of time at Home Depot looking for these things. I bought some from Divemaster when I placed another order. I did have to spray paint some black.

1/4" Carriage bolts can be found at just about any hardware store. Just paint them black or use gun bluing compound on them.

I considered this. Unfortunately, by the time you buy the screws and the bluing compound and did all the work, you could have just bought a bunch from divemaster for the same price without the work. The bolts he sells are very nice, and for 0.25
I've found that doing things the homebrew way and scrimping and saving usually ends up in an inferior product, and just as much money out of pocket. ;D
