Would like to get some taps and dies for the frog bolts, and for the tote
and knob. These must be some uncommon metric. Took some to work today and
tried to match them up and didn't have much luck. Even had a couple of our
machinist have a go at it, again couldn't come up with anything. Should we
be having this much trouble figuering it out? Maybe some of you have been
thru this and know, if not will try calling Stanley and see if I can find
someone that knows. Thanks a bunch.

I know Stanley used non-standard threads on various parts, but I
can't seem to find a specific number for you. You could probably find
out quickly by placing a call to Lori in Parts at Stanley Works at
800-262-2161 (I hope the number is still current; it's the latest one
I've got).

Excellent. Glad to know that she's still there and as helpful as
ever. It's funny, the company is basically little more than a
garage-door manufacturer (tmPL) these days, but there's Lori still
giving personal service like that.

Many of the old Stanley thread sizes were non-standard. They are not
metric. If you can find a set of Whitworth or old English Standard
taps some of those may match up.

Thanks. I have that number and took it to work today to call, but was busy
all day and forgot all about it. Will have to try and remember tomorrow.
