holster hardware - chicago screws and barrel bolts - Canadian source?

[zombee]

Hello,

Wondering if anyone knows of a source for replacement chicago screws and barrel bolts. I specifically have a Blade Tech holster, but I'm sure these things work for many kinds of holsters. I lost a bolt that attaches the belt clip to holster body.

Something like:

I'm having lots of trouble finding a source in Canada.

Ideas?

Thank you.

edit: thanks for the general suggestions, but I'd like to know if you specifically know of a source/retailer for the exact fasteners, local to Canada or with reasonable costs.

I've gone to my local GTA Home Depot - the only chicago bolts they have are aluminum, with closed end barrel/post, and with a fastening length too long for the purpose (need 1/8 - 1/4 inch). Fastenal and Grainger (two specialty fastener distributors) mainly stock closed-end posts for too-long fastening lengths. The only specialty fastener source I can find online with something generally compatible is US-based and the shipping charges will be huge. Amazon.ca listings for holster hardware are usually US-based (with $25-ish CAD shipping charges) or out of stock. US sources (holstersmith, holsterbuilder, ...) end up with large shipping charges. Blade Tech has a free replacement hardware offer but their international shipping charges (via courier) are approx $25-30 CAD for a handful (1 doz) fastener sets (I asked). So I have looked.

Again, I'd appreciate anything specific.

Thank you.

If they’re too long just cut them down to length.

If they’re too long just cut them down to length.

Chicago bolts aren't necessarily drilled and tapped the whole length, so check if it goes deep enough before you cut.

Look for any shoe repair or leather works around you

Yep.

Most good hardware stores carry Chicago screws.

There are tons of places to get that kind of hardware, many are listed above. Probably the two with the best selection are Tandy leather and Lee Valley. Tandy carries all kinds of them, and is a good spot for kydex if you ever need some in a rush. I bought both (Chicago screws & kydex) a week ago at one of the Tandys in Calgary, and they had a dozen different sizes and finishes

I went to the local Tandy's Leather and got a pack of posts that worked well.

Thank you for the suggestions.
