Hardware

Fasteners, binding wire, hinges, locks, tools and site consumables.

Product overview

Hardware is the long tail of a construction project: binding wire, nails, screws, anchors, hinges, locks, handles, shuttering clamps, safety gear and the hundred small items that stop work when they run out.

Consolidating hardware with one verified supplier is usually worth more than squeezing the last rupee out of each item, simply because a half-day stoppage costs more than the saving.

Typical units: kg, piece, box. Mostly per kg or per piece; bundling with a larger order saves delivery cost.

Common applications

  • Reinforcement binding and shuttering
  • Door and window fittings
  • Furniture and joinery fittings
  • Site tools and safety equipment
  • Anchoring and fixing into concrete

Available grades and variants

Binding wire
Typically 18 gauge annealed, sold by kg.
Stainless vs mild steel
SS 304 for wet and coastal areas, MS elsewhere.
Ironmongery grades
Locks and hinges rated by cycle life and finish.

Buying guide: hardware

  • Standardise screws and fittings across the project so replacements are trivial.
  • Use SS 304 fittings in bathrooms, kitchens and coastal locations.
  • Buy binding wire and consumables in bulk with the steel order to save freight.
  • Keep a running site consumables list so reorders happen before the shortage, not after.
