More than hardware: why fasteners are so important

At face value, a fastener sounds like a straightforward piece of hardware, simply designed to connect and secure one product to another. Yet they’re so much more than a small device.

Fasteners are a vital construction component, not only to join parts together but to do so in a way that’s fit for purpose, strong and – above all – safe.

At Elite Fasteners, our name says it all: we produce, provide and deliver some of the leading fasteners on the market. And we’re here to help you to choose the right one to suit your project specifications. Here’s why getting that right is so important:

Durability

Your fasteners undergo much pressure – literally. They typically need to withstand much weight, movement and even temperature changes, amongst any other fluctuations. To do that, they must be high-quality, otherwise you’re looking at leaks, poor product performance and regular – and costly – replacements.

Safety

Not only do fasteners need to be built and fitted to last, but they also need to connect your components in the safest possible way. If they’re not good quality, or they’re not the correct fastener for your project, you’re placing yourself, others and your company’s reputation at serious risk.

It’s just one of the reasons we’re so committed to compliance here at Elite Fasteners, including our Construction Fixings Association (CFA) approval that confirms we adhere to the highest safety standards.

Suitability

Though many fasteners look similar, they’re anything but – and one size certainly does not fit all. It’s important to make sure you choose the right fastener for your project to make sure it’s fit for purpose, safe and secure.

At Elite Fasteners, our extensive range of fasteners includes nuts, washers, self-tappers, socket screws, machine screws, hexagons, pins and keys, and more. Much of our range is available in stainless steel, HDG, zinc or brass to suit designs and specifications. You can find more detailed information here on our website.
