Metal gate hardware is latest addition to D&D product line
D&D Metal Gate HardwareD&D Technologies announced that it has formed a long-term strategic partnership with Stanley, the internationally known hardware brand that manufactures a wide range of products including metal gate hardware, to introduce the D&D Technologies Metal line.
D&D Senior VP Sales & Marketing Jim Paterson said, “D&D has built our reputation on superior quality, strength and time-saving features with our polymer gate hardware. Customers have asked us for years to provide them metal hardware at a competitive price with the quality and unique features they’ve come to expect from D&D, and this new partnership allows us to fulfill that request.
“The addition of Stanley’s most popular metal hinges, latches and gate accessories to D&D’s product line allows the U.S. operation to provide a full range of metal gate hardware to complement our polymer range,” said Paterson. “It’s also a significant accomplishment in D&D’s mission to maintain our product leadership role and form global strategic partnerships.” Paterson noted that Stanley is the No. 1 hardware brand in the world, with most of their products sold at retail. D&D Metal products, which will be sold exclusively to the fence trade, are being produced for D&D Technologies in Stanley’s own manufacturing facilities, which ensures the highest level of quality.
“Since we’ve introduced the new line, the reaction from the industry has been extremely positive,” added Paterson. “With two powerful brands – D&D Technologies and Stanley – working together, we can provide the fencing industry with access to the highest quality metal and polymer gate hardware from a single source.”
“Our metal products provide improved strength, durability and corrosion resistance compared to most products in the market today,” said Paterson, “and we feel that the finish and overall quality of D&D Metal products set new industry standards.
“The latches have unique features that automatically compensate for gate sag, along with adjustability, he said, and the hinges have thicker steel for superior strength, patented polymer bearings, exclusive high-tech lubricants and easy hand-changing. “Rounding out the line are two sizes of gate springs and drop bolts and a gate handle. All fasteners include a proprietary coating process – WeatherguardTM , which provides superior corrosion resistance,” he said.
Individual product packaging features installation instructions in both English and Spanish. Products are shipped to D&D customers in case quantities in thick, double-walled cartons that have been banded for strength to prevent in-transit damage.
D&D backs the metal hardware with a 10-year limited warranty (5 years on springs), and added-value offerings such as technical support and free marketing materials are also available with D&D Metal products.
