Specialty Hardware

Specialty hardware includes specialized or proprietary hardware or hardware systems. There many different types of specialty hardware products. Examples include specialized or proprietary wire rope and control cable fittings, bumpers, drawer slides, flexible support arms or goosenecks, grommets, casters, and wheels. Specialty wire rope and control cable fittings include specialized or proprietary clips, sleeves, stud ends, eyes, forks, and other hardware used to construct mechanical cable assemblies. Specialty bumpers are elastomeric hardware devices used for edge protection, cushioning, and impact absorption. Specialty drawer slides use guides, bearings or rollers to support drawers and facilitate their motion. Specialty goosenecks are flexible support arms for mounting devices such as illuminators and magnifiers. Specialty grommets are eyelets that are used to strengthen or protect an opening, or to insulate and protect an object passing through an opening. Specialty casters are complete wheel and horn assemblies that attach to equipment to allow movement. Specialty wheels are solid discs or rigid circular rings that attach to specialty hardware assemblies such as casters to allow movement.

Specialty hardware includes handles and pulls, hinges, knobs, latches, locks and locking systems, and shims and shim stock, as well as posts, spacers, and standoffs. Specialty handles and specialty pulls are hardware components that are grasped by hand and manipulated to perform a service. They are often used with machinery and industrial metal cabinetry. Specialty hinges are jointed devices that allow an attached part, such as a door or window, to swing. Specialty knobs are small, usually round, devices that are designed for use on industrial machinery, electronic components, and metal cabinetry. Specialty latches are mechanical components that hold doors, drawers, or cabinets closed. There are several basic types of specialized latches: cam, compression, deadbolt, draw, rotary, slam, and passenger restraint. Specialty hasps are also available. Specialized and proprietary locking systems are used to secure doors, cabinets, and points of entry. Specialty shims and specialty shim stock are used to fill in a space between two mating surfaces or components. Specialty hardware also includes posts, spacers and stand-offs. These threaded components are used in specialty hardware applications such as the assembly of printed circuit boards (PCB).
