Contract Hardware was established in 1987 and has now become the largest Architectural Ironmongery Group in the country. The Contract Group of companies has branches in Durban, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth with our head office based in Johannesburg. We have well-trained staff, all of whom have extensive experience in the industry. We also work in conjunction with our suppliers to ensure that our staff receive on-going training on the latest products. One of our more recent strategies has been to offer Architects a non-biased Ironmongery Specification Service that is easy to interpret for all involved in the decision-making process. Contract Hardware head-office in JHB houses a second company on the premises, namely Contract Aluminium CC who are our in-house suppliers for all aluminum profiles such as shop-fronts, casement windows, folding doors, sliding doors, flats and angles. Contract Hardware has co-ordinated the supply of ironmongery on many prestigous buildings. Our client list includes major construction companies in South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho, Botswana, Abidjan in the Ivory Coast and many more in Southern Africa. Contract Hardware also stocks bathroom accessories, heated towel rails, frameless glass and the ironmongery to complement it. Presently we have a showroom in Cape Town and Durban as well as our head-office in Johannesburg. The Cape Town branch boasts the only, and impressive, Glass Showroom. Contract Architectural Ironmongery, our own manufacturing and fabricating company, was established to control both the quality and service delivery our customers expect. Kicking plates, push plates and edge protectors were the first to be manufactured followed by custom-made pull handles, grab-rails and many other fabricated items, mainly in stainless steel. Contract Aluminium, our aluminium system profiles and hardware company, supplies not only our existing aluminium fabricators, but has built up its own customer base with many of its own systems. Technical design and advice are all part of the service, as well as the supply of the sections and hardware that make up the range of Flush glassing, shop fronts, doors and windows supplied to the industry.
