Coin door bolts?
str1der:
I just received a coin door that I won on Ebay. It's in great shape except it doesn't have the bolts for the frame. Does anyone one know where I can get these? Thanks.

Just a bump. Anyone?

ack(stupid capslock)
Ive got a pretty standard door that had 4 square holes(1/4"), 1 on each side of the coindoor frame. The wood that is surrounding it was 3/4" same as the rest of my cab.
So I got some carriage bolts that were 1/4" in diameter(of the square part) and 1"(i think, maybe 1-1/4") On the inside I used some rubber washers and really cranked it down with regular 1/4" nuts
Eventually I found some store that carried the size I needed in black- previously I just had silver and never bothered to paint them

Since I wasn't worried about anyone breaking into my cabinet to steal the money I just used black machine screws that I got from lowes. Also I had to cut the opening for the coin door so there weren't any pre existing holes from where a coin door used to be.

I thought they used a type of bolt that had a tab on the inside that turned out to hold the frame. Similar to the way the lock works.
