I would go to Ace Hardware for that. They are locally owned and far
more responsive to the needs of local people. I would get a guy or
lady who knew exactly what I wanted and walk me over to it, maybe even
giving me tips on how to install them.
Sometimes you have to admit, paying an extra nickel for a widget is
worth it to get a little service. Ace is always my first stop for any
kind of hardware item, even if I could find it myself a little cheaper
at the BORG.

Fact: I was sitting on the floor at the Home Depot once reorganizing
several boxes of missorted FMC connectors trying to get the ones I
needed and an employee who knew me actually walked by and said
"That's why we call this a 'do it yourself' store. If you want to find
something do it yourself".
He kept walking.

Did not have a nearby Ace where I lived before so had no idea. When we
moved here there was all the little stuff a new house needs so went to
the nearby Ace. Have not been to a big box since. The service there is
incredible. Plenty of people to help.
