Is your hardware supplier “improving” their product right out of existence?



Take a look at the last set of hinges you bought from your supplier. Do they look like the hinge you bought the first time you switched to their hardware? Chances are, unless you are using American made Modern Fence Technologies hinges, latches, and drop rods, the product you are getting is not the same as the product you initially decided to buy.

Brackets are getting smaller, welds are getting weaker, hinges sold as “stainless steel” include aluminum and plastic parts where ours are all stainless, and even the thickness of the steel is being reduced. Today's hinge from some of these manufacturers uses 25-30% less stainless steel. Has your price dropped to reflect that? Did anyone ask if you wanted a lower quality hinge?
