in South Africa.

Established in 1987, Contract Hardware has successfully built themselves up to stand out as a market leader in the architectural ironmongery industry. Today, we are the largest architectural ironmongery group in South Africa.

We've been part of landmark construction projects across Southern Africa, delivering world-class architectural hardware to hotels, airports, stadiums, shopping malls, and power stations.
