Closet Hardware

Product Specification Phase:

• We start by determining if your closet hardware needs can be fulfilled from our standard closet hardware product line-up.
• If the hardware is not a standard item in our existing inventory, we send samples and specifications to our suppliers who may already have the component as a part of their standard offering.
• In cases where a component is truly new and unique, an information package is built in collaboration with our customer and sent to our supplier network for quoting.

Sample Phase:

• If customer samples exist, they are provided to all of our selected suppliers for evaluation. This accelerates the process.
• If customer samples do not exist, our suppliers will provide samples of their comparable products so the customer can confirm manufacturing capabilities and finish quality.
• In cases where special tooling is required, pre-production samples are provided for customer sign-off and acceptance.

Quality Control:

• Comtrad’s rigorous supplier approval and audit process ensures that products are delivered on time and in compliance with customer specifications, local regulations and applicable quality standards.
• Comtrad also works with respected global third-party inspection agencies including Intertek for further compliance verification where required by our customers or local regulators.

Delivery:

• Inventory availability and delivery flexibility are key to the success of most custom metal working projects.
• Comtrad works with customers to establish and maintain strict delivery timelines.  Whether the requirement is for direct shipment or stocking programs, single purchase or inventory replenishment based on just-in-time forecasts, Comtrad can handle it all, and takes the risk out of overseas sourcing in the process.
