Fasteners & Hardware

Securing structural framing, mounting MEP systems, and completing finish carpentry all depend on dependable fasteners and hardware built to specified load requirements. Coburn Supply stocks a full range of fasteners and hardware for commercial construction, plumbing, and residential renovation projects, with an inventory that includes self-drilling sheet metal screws, timber lag bolts, and masonry anchors, alongside specialty fastening hardware for running electrical conduit and mechanical piping. Having a full hardware supply staged on site avoids installation downtime during rough-in, framing, or fixture mounting, and beyond mechanical connectors, the selection extends to cabinet hardware and door hardware for interior finishing, plus heavy-duty chains and ropes for material handling. Service trucks and trailers stay organized with durable straps and tie downs, while overhead pipe networks rely on galvanized hangers and struts, and technicians can also select corrosion-resistant mounting hardware for locking heavy equipment onto concrete slabs or drywall studs.

• Screws and Bolts by Drive and Thread Type
  Fasteners and screws are grouped by drive style (Phillips, square, or star) and thread type (coarse for wood, fine for metal), which cuts down on trial and error when matching a fastener to a job.
• Fastening Hardware for Load-Bearing Connections
  Fastening hardware such as lag bolts, structural screws, and heavy-gauge nails is stocked for connections that carry weight, including deck framing, ledger boards, and structural repairs.
• Chains, Ropes, and Tie-Down Hardware
  Chains and ropes, along with straps and tie-downs, are sold for securing loads on trailers and trucks, rigging equipment, and general utility use around a jobsite.
• Cabinet and Door Hardware for Finish Work
  Cabinet hardware and door hardware round out a remodel or new build once framing and fastening are done, covering hinges, pulls, closers, and latch sets in several finishes.
• Mounting Hardware for Fixtures and Shelving
  Mounting hardware, along with hangers and struts, supports the installation of shelving, light fixtures, and mechanical or electrical runs that need to be held off a wall or ceiling.

How It Works / Where to Use

• Matching Fasteners to Base Material
  A fastener holds depending on its material match. Wood, metal, masonry, and drywall each require specific thread patterns or anchor types noted on product pages.
• Sizing Hardware for Load and Span
  Hangers, struts, and mounting hardware carry specific weight ratings. Verifying load capacity against system weight prevents connection failures.
• Selecting Chain and Rope by Working Load Limit
  Chains and ropes list working load limits on spec sheets. Use this rating rather than overall diameter to ensure safe lifting and binding.
• Choosing Cabinet and Door Hardware by Function
  Select cabinet hardware by door overlay and swing, and match door hardware to total leaf weight and frame configuration.
• Using Straps and Tie Downs for Transport
  Tie downs and ratchet straps feature explicit breaking strength ratings. Check working load limits against transport regulations before securing cargo.

Key Field Specifications & Planning Steps

Reviewing substrate composition, mechanical loads, and environmental factors ensures reliable installation performance.

• Substrate Compatibility
  Select anchor designs engineered for specific base materials, including poured concrete, hollow masonry blocks, structural lumber, or steel studs.
• Load Limits & Safety Factors
  Determine both continuous static weight and dynamic movement forces before specifying pipe hangers, strut channels, or tie-down assemblies.
• Protective Finishes & Metal Grades
  Match the material coating (such as electro-zinc, hot-dip galvanizing, or 316 stainless steel) to the surrounding humidity, chemical exposure, or outdoor weathering.
• Fastener Sizing & Thread Standards
  Confirm matching thread pitch, shank thickness, and hole clearances across mating components to ensure smooth threading and solid mechanical grip.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What is included under fasteners and hardware? 
This category covers fasteners and screws, bolts, nails, chains and ropes, straps and tie downs, hangers and struts, and cabinet and door hardware.

What's the difference between fastening hardware and mounting hardware? 
Fastening hardware joins two materials together, while mounting hardware holds an object such as a shelf or fixture onto a wall or ceiling.

Does Coburn Supply carry hardware supplies for both residential and commercial jobs? 
Yes, hardware supplies here range from small cabinet hardware packs to bulk fasteners and chain stock for larger commercial jobs.

How do I know what size chain or rope to buy? 
Check the working load limit listed on the product against the weight you're securing or lifting.
