Must-Have Workshop Hardware

In busy workshops, the little things often make the biggest difference. Whether you’re building canopies, maintaining trailers, or managing a fleet, having the right hardware on hand keeps the work flowing and downtime to a minimum.

At Ovesco, we work with tradies, manufacturers and service teams who rely on durable, reliable components every day. Here are some of the most essential workshop staples we recommend keeping in stock.

Compression Locks and Handles

Secure storage and access is a priority in any industrial setting. Compression locks are ideal for toolboxes, canopy doors and cabinets where vibration resistance and a tight seal are critical. Paired with durable handles, they offer both function and longevity.

Gas Struts

From toolboxes to canopy doors, gas struts make opening and closing smooth and safe. Make sure to choose the right strut for the job, our team is ready to give you a hand picking the right one.

Seals and Rubber Extrusions

Weather, dust and vibration can take a toll on equipment. Ovesco carries a wide range of rubber seals, pinchweld and extrusions designed to keep moisture and debris out. Whether you need bailey channel, trimlok or pan door seals, having a range on hand helps reduce downtime.

Hinges and Latches

Quality hinges and latches are vital for any moving part. Continuous hinges, concealed hinges, and weld-on options provide flexibility for fabrication work. Complement them with spring bolts, slam latches or over-centre catches for fast, secure closures.

Drawer Slides

Heavy-duty drawer slides are a workshop favourite for mobile storage solutions. Look for locking slides with high load ratings and smooth travel to improve access and safety on the job. Ovesco stocks various sizes to suit everything from ute canopy fitouts to custom trailers.

A well-stocked workshop saves time, prevents costly delays and keeps your projects on track. Whether you're replenishing core hardware or planning a new build, Ovesco is here to help with quality components, expert advice and fast delivery.
