Paragon Hardware

[Wagner]

Does anyone know where I can find the steel attaching brackets used to secure the two main sections of a Paragon together?
Is this just a standard piece of hardware I might find at a building supply place?

Thanks

Three pieces, acts like a reverse wedge.
Two rails attached to the boxes and a tapered clamp than slides down and pulls things together.

Thanks again

Not sure if they are available anymore, but the ones here that have a Paragon could measure them, and they should be pretty easy to make.

I have the Paragon, just need two clamps.
One is broken, the other missing.

Thanks

OK. I thought you missed all of them. I believe the best is to get a workshop to make the others. Of course, there might be that someone on the forum have some not in use.

Good luck.

IF you can obtain the Paragon blueprints,,It shows how to fabricate them..Thats how i made mine..A metal shop can make them very easily..

You should have clamps on the back as well as the front,,

There are similar clamps used in commercial millwork and in K-D (knock-down) cabinetry to pull panels together, so cabinet industry suppliers might have them. Try Rockler or Louis and Company.

I was missing several also. As they're not out in the open, I took solid 12-gauge electrical wire and twisted it very tightly around the posts - been working fine for almost 20 years.

Solid conductor 12 gauge cable -
like you put in the wall for household wiring to a light switch or electrical outlet.

Not stranded lamp cord ...

[pgena]

Yes, THHN solid core copper household electrical wire 12 gauge - the kind that goes in electrical conduit. Don't use stranded because it's not rigid enough.

Not sure how thick 12 gauge is. Here in my area we measure the thickness inn mm2.

but - it doesn't matter for you -
you already sold your Paragoon.
Now you have no need for such tricks, yes?

No Paragon, but I have the 4343B's.
