Traditional hardware products are also called "small hardware". Refers to various metal devices manufactured by forging, rolling, cutting, and other physical processing of metals such as iron, steel, and aluminum. For example, hardware tools, hardware parts, daily-use hardware, construction hardware, and security products. Most small hardware products are not final consumer goods.
