Crafting Connections, One Hinge at a Time

HardwareDirect is a family-owned company rooted in Hickory, North Carolina — proudly dubbed the furniture capital of the world. For more than 25 years we’ve partnered with cabinetmakers, furniture manufacturers, contractors, and weekend DIY-ers to deliver hardware that performs as beautifully as it looks.

Our Story

What began in 1999 as a small storefront supplying local woodshops has grown into a complete sourcing and logistics operation serving customers nationwide. While our catalog has expanded from a single shelf of cabinet pulls to thousands of SKUs covering kitchens, baths, bedrooms, and commercial millwork, our mission is unchanged: make great craftsmanship easier for everyone.

Why Professionals Choose Us

• Curated Quality. Every hinge, slide, and pull is hand-selected, industry-tested, and backed by lifetime warranties where available.
• Factory-Direct Pricing. Long-standing relationships with global and domestic manufacturers mean you skip the middle-man mark-ups.
• Local Stock, Fast Shipping. 130,000 ft² of warehouse space in Hickory allows us to ship most orders the same day.
• Project-Ready Support. Need a custom order, load ratings, or finish samples? Our technical team speaks your language and answers the phone.
• Sustainable Choices. We prioritize suppliers that meet CARB II, RoHS, and FSC standards so your projects stay compliant and eco-friendly.

Serving Every Maker

Whether you’re fitting out a 300-unit multi-family development or updating a single vanity at home, you’ll find the same expert guidance, transparent pricing, and dependable delivery. No minimum order quantities, ever.
