Pocket door hardware - detail

The lever I built to open and close the pocket door is great and all for my omnipotent hands, but the mini residents need to be able to operate the door as well. Putting a doorknob on it doesn't really work since it would keep hitting the door frame. What I needed was pocket door hardware. Dollhouse hardware is limited to begin with, so finding scale replicas was out of the question. I liked Kathie's idea of using paper printouts of beautiful vintage hardware, but I had another idea. Enter two 1:24 scale letter boxes, one for each side of the door. :D This is not the first time I've used half scale items in my full scale builds, and it won't be the last! A special thanks to Keli for helping me track them down at The Dolls House Mall. They are a very good approximation of the original. I'm not usually fond of brass, but considering this is a vintage house it didn't bother me so much. Even though they are glued to the surface and not set in, they don't interfere with the functionality of the door since they are so thin. Once I get the rest of door and baseboard trims in place, I think they will look even more like the real thing.
