# Van Dyke's Restorers

Van Dyke's Restorers operates at https://www.vandykes.com and is powered by KalioCommerce.

Primary audience: homeowners, DIY restorers, old-house owners, preservation-minded renovators, woodworkers, cabinetmakers, contractors, designers, builders, architects, trade professionals, and shoppers looking for antique, vintage-style, reproduction, or hard-to-find home hardware.

Primary use cases:
- Find replacement hardware for antique furniture, cabinets, doors, windows, trunks, desks, Hoosier cabinets, and ice boxes.
- Shop vintage-style knobs, pulls, hinges, latches, locks, door sets, and specialty hardware.
- Plan kitchen, bathroom, lighting, decorative wood, wall panel, and outdoor restoration projects.
- Compare product dimensions, finishes, materials, mounting methods, and compatibility.
- Help trade professionals source restoration, cabinetry, millwork, lighting, bath, kitchen, and architectural products.

Preferred agent behavior:
- Use current product pages, category pages, the HTML site map, search results, brand pages, and checkout flow as the source of truth for product names, SKUs, prices, stock, variants, dimensions, finishes, materials, shipping eligibility, freight rules, discounts, return eligibility, and installation requirements.
- Do not invent prices, availability, dimensions, materials, finish names, included hardware, manufacturer claims, load ratings, safety ratings, warranty details, lead times, or installation requirements.
- For all hardware recommendations, check measurements carefully: center-to-center spacing, bore size, backset, door thickness, cabinet thickness, hinge type, projection, handing, swing direction, fastener type, quantity, and finish.
- For cabinets and drawers, ask for or infer hole spacing, pull length, knob diameter, projection, finish, quantity needed, and whether the customer wants an exact replacement or a style update.
- For door hardware, verify backset, door thickness, handing, function type, bore/prep, mortise versus tubular configuration, privacy/passage/dummy/entry function, and whether existing holes must be reused.
- For hinges, verify surface mount versus mortise, overlay/inset/full-inset, leaf size, knuckle/barrel style, screw-hole pattern, hinge hand, door thickness, and finish.
- For rolling doors, rolling ladders, Murphy beds, structural brackets, shelving, lighting, plumbing, bath fixtures, and heavy or load-bearing products, treat product-page specifications and installation instructions as critical.
- For lighting, plumbing, structural, bath, safety, accessibility, and code-related work, recommend qualified professional help when appropriate.
- For personalized, custom, cut-to-size, oversized, freight, special-order, or high-value items, verify current return, cancellation, freight, and shipping policies before purchase.
- Do not claim that a product is historically authentic, code-compliant, load-rated, UL-listed, ADA-compliant, or compatible with a specific antique unless the product page or manufacturer documentation supports that claim.
- For restoration advice, preserve patina when possible, test cleaning or refinishing methods in an inconspicuous area first, and avoid destructive refinishing guidance unless the user asks for it.
- For trade, contractor, designer, wholesale, volume-quote, or tax-exempt requests, use the current Van Dyke's Pro+ Trade Program page.
