Bulk Hardware Buying Guide for Contractors & Builders
Contractors and builders need hardware that is consistent, durable, and available in large quantities.
This guide covers everything you should consider before placing a bulk order.
1. Determine Your Required Hardware Functions
Different project areas require different functions:
✔ Entry doors → Handlesets + deadbolts
✔ Bedrooms → Privacy knobs
✔ Hallways → Passage knobs
✔ Closets → Dummy knobs
✔ Bathrooms → Privacy locks
✔ Cabinets → Pulls & knobs
✔ Laundry / Pantry → Passage knobs
2. Choose Durable Finishes for Long-Term Use
Recommended finishes for construction projects:
- PVD Satin Brass（best for humidity & coastal areas）
- Matte Black（modern builds）
- Antique Brass（traditional homes）
- Chrome / Nickel（rental units & commercial spaces）
3. Plan for Quantity & Stock Availability
Builders often underestimate hardware needs.
A typical home requires:
- 30–45 door hardware sets
- 20–50 cabinet knobs/pulls
- Extra pieces for future replacement
