Hardware
Note that bolts, screws and rivets for the fastening of the hardware should be purchased at the same time as the hardware to ensure that the correct sizes are supplied, with allowance for the thickness of material to which they are to be fastened. All hardware can be replaced with similar from other manufacturers.

Manufacturers' catalogues change occasionally, which can throw a hardware list such as this. We cannot keep up with the changes but will make allowance when possible, so the list below may be slightly different from what is shown on the drawings.
