Company Description
Imagine the industry’s best design distributor of mechanical components, taking your calls, getting your order right the first time and solving big challenges and minor irks.
Hardware is hardware. Until you need an expert who can suggest the perfect mechanical component, confirm a size or mechanism, or answer your question with 100% certainty.
Some say, “It’s just a gas spring... a latch... a hinge... a drawer slide.” But those people who purchase from Clancey know better. Other companies might sell mechanical components, but none of them make it as easy as Clancey does.
