Small parts looking for

Coach is a 92 U240

Our interior renovation has gone well this summer but I am search of some unique small parts I was hoping the forum may have some suggestions for some parts providers.

The walnut trim piece is a piece of odd shaped quarter round from the top trim of the roller cabinet below the refrigerator. I'm in need of about 17 inches of walnut quarter round to finish out the refrigerator cabinet.

I have one brass cabinet stay that is missing one of the ball/spring/screw assemblies. An entire stay would be fine or just the innards for one side would work as well.

Thank you for any advice you may have.

Cabinet catch.  Measure and compare, there are at least two sizes: Solid Brass Cabinet Door Closet Ball Tension Catch Latch,2.36-Inch x...

On the walnut 1/4 round, just check with Foretravel.

The back side of that molding's profile looks a little like what might be considered outside corner molding rather than what one considers quarter round.  Does it attach over the edge of the cabinet face?

You are correct Michelle. It's been a bit of my quandary of where to get it. It does hang over the slider for the door I assume to hide the track.

If its quarter round on the outside profile, its likely FT simply cut the inside groove in their cabinet shop. 

I'd actually be surprised if they were buying any molding and not milling it all themselves on a shaper /  router in the cabinet shop, much less costly and would have ensured the wood species matched.

Could you post an end view of the molding with approx HxW dimensions, that could help in the search.

I apologize for the delayed response. I bet it's correct that it was milled at Foretravel. I hadn't had that thought.
The highest portion is half inch. The lowest is cut down to quarter inch.

Thank you all for your advice.

I looked though a molding catalog that I have and did not see anything like that under corner or back band moldings.  Does not mean it does not exist, it was just not in that catalog.

To me it has a profile like a base shoe molding, so perhaps FT started with that and cut a dado/rabbit to create the corner.  If you can find the outside profile any cabinet shop / home woodworker could cut the inside corner for you.

Steve, where do you get your walnut trim from. I don't know any cabinet makers here in KY but I know they exist 😊. I'll try do some research and see if I can find a local source.
