Concept Latch Lock & Hinge
On many projects, hardware such as locks, drawer runners, handles, latches, hinges, gas struts and the like becomes a big portion of material costs. Yet, when quality feel and superior ergonomics are the selling points our customers need to wow their end users, you just can't go cheap on these parts - it shows.
Luke Halpin at Concept Latch Lock & Hinge is on the other end of the phone often, helping us search for and scrutinise the best parts for new projects. Thank you for all your constant help Luke.

Our Suppliers
Over the years we've called on Headland again for a Trumpf Trumabend C60 Press Brake, then a Haeger inserting machine and most recently a Trumpf TruPunch 2020. Thanks guys, and a special thanks to serviceman Sharky who's always kept our punch presses running beautifully.
We love our Safan E-Brake press brake and we're very fond of the man who sold it to us, Ed Stavar. The machine purrs along so quietly, is dead easy to program and its speed and accuracy are remarkable - it can actually keep up with its pilot Shaun, and that says much!
Paul Girke at Impact Steel has taken care of us on price and quality consistently, even though we don't order as much metal at a time as some of his other giant accounts. Thank you Paul.
Malcolm Zammit sells us a lot of fasteners, and on occasions when we need a particular sort in a hurry he gets us stocked in almost no time.
Southco makes the sort of premium handles, hinges, locks and fancy latches you wish you could use on every single product if costs allowed. To us, it feels like Lego :)
It's no wonder that they've grown though - brothers Greg and Sam and their father Stan make and keep a promise about quality and consistency that hasn't changed as they've expanded their operation considerably over the years.
That said, Daniel Waters and the crew at Big Zinc are superb with quality, consistency and price and we're very glad to do business with them. Thank you Daniel!
Ian is Mate Tooling's Australian distributer, based in Adelaide, and some years ago he won us over to the Mate camp from Wilson Tool on pure price point. Since then however, Ian has steadily strengthened his relationship with us through consistent, quick delivery times and great service, so mush so that we even go to him for tools varieties that others might place in the cheap and cheerful basket.
