Recently I tried to purchase a door spindle, about 120mm long to have as a spare.
First I try the green shed, nothing over 60mm. Next the blue box - they do not even stock loose spindles. So much for the two big hardware store which blow their trumpet, but a low price is useless when they have no stock. I will admit that both stores had gate handles that included a 100mm spindle, but I was not after the gate handle. (price $19.90)

Go to my local small hardware store and buy a 300mm spindle for $9.90 less 10% trade discount. Cut off 120mm for spare part and have 180mm over (also for spares).
