It's the little things that matter...

 It's the little things that matter. As with most things, the difference between poor quality and excellent quality in gate hardware usually comes down to the little things.

Like metal-to-metal contact. If your hinge or latch depends on two pieces of metal rubbing against one another, sooner or later it is going to cause wear damage and early failure. Modern Fence Technologies uses polymer technology to cushion the places where metal surfaces could rub together with bearings and washers that keep the joint moving smoothly for years.

Or, like packaging. Most imported hardware comes sealed in bulk plastic bags, with pieces rubbing and colliding during shipping and handling. MFT uses proprietary packaging to hold each piece securely to ensure the integrity of the powder coat finish. Even the screws are sealed tightly to prevent damage to components or coatings.

Another detail that is often missed is internal quality. Every single hinge pin on every single hinge we make is machined from stainless steel right here in the U.S. Many hinges sold in America have plastic hinge pins. Imagine the weight and torque of your gate riding on a plastic pin.

One more “little thing” that Modern Fence Technologies provides is peace of mind. Companies that use Modern Fence Technologies hardware are covered by manufacturers liability insurance. Our hardware carries a lifetime warranty. We've been here for over 40 years and we're still growing.

Because at MFT, the “little things” are important.
