I left Burgers' in Feb.of 88. At the time we were using Door Hardware from a company call "Standard-Kiel" ,it was a divison of Getty Hardware. They were located in New Jersey.
I know getting hardware from Standard-Kiel was very difficult. We had to order years in advance because Getty was doing lots of Navy work and the Navy came before us.
I believe when McMillian took over, Burger's were looking into other Hardware Suppliers.
If you want to know for sure what you have on your boat, you can contact a guy by the name of Jerry Keehan. Jerry is retired from Burgers, but he knows more about what went into older Burgers than anyone alive.
He was the assistant Purchasing agent when I joined that dept. I remained in purchasing for 12 years-transfering to a boat manager just prior to Henry selling the business.
Jerry was offered the head Purchasing Agent when I left, but he turned it down because he didn't want to be "Stuck behind a desk".
If you want to contact Jerry you can contact me and I'll give you his phone number here in Manitowoc.
