Where to buy replacement screws for strap buttons

[MattXIV]

Anybody know a good place to buy replacement screws for strap buttons (specifically Dunlop strap locks)? All the screws at the local hardware store with the right diameter and head shape have too big of a head.

Appologies if someone's answered this before - I tried searching the forum and didn't see anything, although I may have missed it in with all the hole repair threads.

when I need those hard to find screws, I go to the local repair shop and ask them to sell me some. never had anybody tell me no but sometimes I've gotta dig through their box to find what I need.

You are correct - the Dunlop Straploks require a hard-to-find screw!

I take the screws with the right diameter and head shape and too big of a head and grind the heads down until they fit inside the Dunlop Straploks. If you don't have a grinder or a Dremel tool maybe you can borrow one. Or do a lot of hand filing.
