Hardware Products Company Maintains Reliable Service During Period of Change

People have been adjusting to a new way of living: wearing masks, proper hand washing, keeping six feet apart, buying take-out over dining in, among other changes. While that new normal has taken hold in personal and business sectors, Hardware Products wants you to know that we’re also holding on to our old normal of fast turn-around on your custom springs, wire-forms, and flat-forms. And, yes, our factory now houses more face masks and additional hand washing, but our commitment to you has not changed. Hardware Products has been in business for over 150 years and our company is one of the few that can say that we’re been through this before.

In a well-designed spring, torsional movement can occur 10 million times without causing any deformation to the spring. However, if there isn’t enough room to design a spring with enough steel in it, the twisting motion becomes more severe and the wire may not return to its original position. When this happens, we refer to this occurrence as “the spring took a set”.
