Hardware
Hardware is used for installations, repairs, or maintenance tasks in industrial and commercial facilities. Braces and brackets reinforce and support shelves, railings, panels, furniture, and other equipment and surfaces. Door closers, hinges, handles, knobs, and other door hardware allow doors to open and close so people can pass through an entryway. Locksets allow doors to lock in order to restrict access to an area. Door sweeps and weather strips keep out drafts. Window hardware improve comfort and security by keeping out weather, pests, and intruders. Hooks and magnetic strips keep work areas organized.

Braces and brackets provide support in a range of applications, including shelving, furniture, and infrastructure. Braces can help to reinforce butt joints or keep beams elevated. Seismic bracing helps to safeguard infrastructure against natural disasters such as earthquakes. Telescopic support braces provide extra support to level and stabilize floor beams and joists during construction and repairs. Brackets often serve a specific purpose, such as holding a lamp or a switch in place. Handrail brackets support handrails along stairways for user safety, while shelving brackets support heavy loads for storage.

Hardware Supplies
Hardware Supplies
Hardware supplies for installations or repairs include items for attaching, covering, and securing materials in various applications. Eye pulleys, mirror clips, and screw eyes keep items suspended from a wall or ceiling. Hydraulic lift kits and leveling mounts help to provide support underneath a table or workbench. Grommets and bushings fit inside holes for reinforcement when allowing cables or hooks to pass through material.
Hook and Loop Fasteners
Hook and Loop Fasteners
Hook and loop fasteners can create strong, temporary bonds in applications such as construction, manufacturing, and medical devices. They feature small, stiff hooks on one side, and soft, pliable loops on the other. The hooks grasp the loop fibers to create a strong closure until they are pulled apart again.

Hooks
Hooks
Hooks can help keep a facility organized by allowing users to hang items on walls or ceilings. Coat and garment hooks provide space for employees to hang work jackets, coveralls, and hats in breakrooms and locker rooms. Screw-in ceiling hooks install under cabinets to organize coffee mugs and keep break areas orderly. They can also be used to hang lamps or plants. Magnetic hooks can attach easily to surfaces such as cabinets and lockers.
Magnets and Magnetic Strips
Magnets and Magnetic Strips
Industrial magnets are used in commercial, industrial, and office facilities to hold tools in place, locate metal studs in a wall, capture metal shavings that have fallen on the floor, and similar applications. Ceramic magnets are made from strontium carbonate and iron oxide and are used as in conveyor systems, speakers, and MRI equipment. Magnetic strips can be used to secure notices or other documents on a file cabinet, metal shelf edge, or other magnetic surface. Rare earth magnets are used in welding clamps or trailer hitch rods.

Industrial Springs
Industrial Springs
Industrial springs include models designed to absorb impact, expand and elongate, or maintain pressure in various applications. Compression springs shorten under loads to absorb impact and protect against shock impact in mechanical applications like welding, valve and pipe-fitting, and automotive engine systems. Disc springs have a convex shape that generates high force within a very short length. They are used when a large load is required in a limited space, and they can return to their original height even after repeated cycling. Extension springs expand and elongate under loads. They can be used in compatible garage doors, farm machinery, and washing devices. Torsion springs have ends that rotate in angular deflection to offer resistance to externally applied torque. Common torsion spring uses include clothespins, clipboards, swing-down tailgates, and garage doors.

Tarps and Tarp Accessories
Tarps and tarp covers help protect equipment and materials from dust, debris, and inclement weather. Many are resistant to flames, grease, mildew, tears, water, or UV rays. Waterproof polyethylene tarps offer protection from dust and inclement weather, while water-resistant models allow material to breathe while keeping out moisture. Heavy-duty vinyl tarps rated at 400°F can be used for hauling asphalt. Tarp supplies and tarp accessories include tarp clips, adjustable canopy ties, and tarp hooks to help keep tarps in place. Tarp tape allows users to make quick repairs.
