Ironmongery

What is ironmongery?

Ironmongery is hardware used in both domestic and commercial environments. They are commonly an essential part of a door or wall, offering practicality as well as a finishing touch. Ironmongery is traditionally manufactured from metals such as brass and stainless steel.

The most used internal ironmongery is door hardware, such as internal door handles, which includes everything you need to hang and use the door effectively, which contains: hinges, door handles and locks. Ironmongery can also include wall fittings such as shelving components and wall hooks.

External ironmongery is a little different from internal ironmongery, as it needs to be robust enough to ensure optimum security is achieved. External ironmongery, such as external door handles, tend to focus on the front door with everything that it needs to function effectively, to ensure that the risk of intruders entering the home is reduced. Our range also includes security ironmongery for gates and sheds, such as padlocks and heavy tee hinges.
