When choosing a reliable flight case hardware supplier, global buyers look for more than just competitive pricing. They seek quality, consistency, and customization. At Guangzhou Lichuan Hardware Enterprise Co., Ltd., we specialize in B2B flight case hardware manufacturing and export. From butterfly latches to aluminum extrusions, we offer a comprehensive product line designed for OEMs, wholesalers, and flight case builders.
In this article, we’ll give you a full overview of what we manufacture and how each component supports different flight case applications.
Why Choose a Dedicated Flight Case Hardware Manufacturer?
Unlike general hardware factories, we focus exclusively on flight case fittings and accessories. This means our production processes, tooling, and QC systems are built to meet the durability, precision, and custom needs of protective equipment cases, road cases, and touring gear.
1. Butterfly Latches (Recessed Latches / Twist Latches)
Our butterfly latches are among the most in-demand parts we produce. These recessed latches are often used in professional equipment cases, audio cases, and rackmount flight cases.
- Material: Zinc alloy or stainless steel
- Surface finishes: Chrome-plated, powder-coated black, or matte
- Features: Flush mounting, padlockable options, heavy-duty versions available
Whether you need medium-size twist latches or heavy-duty locking versions, we offer bulk and OEM production.
2. Handles (Recessed Handles / Strap Handles / Pull Handles)
Handles are one of the most important elements for case mobility. We manufacture several types:
- Recessed spring handles with rubber grips
- Surface-mounted strap handles with steel or plastic brackets
- Pull handles with folding design to save space
All models are built to withstand heavy loads. Custom logo stamping and bulk packaging options are available.
3. Hinges (Piano Hinges / Detachable Hinges / Stop Hinges)
Flight case hinges must provide both stability and function. Our hinge range includes:
- Long piano hinges for full lid connection
- Split/Detachable hinges for removable lids
- Stop hinges to prevent over-extension
Finishes include stainless steel and zinc plating, with sizes matching industry standards for road cases.
4. Brackets (L Brackets / Angle Braces / Support Brackets)
Brackets reinforce the frame and add structural support. We offer:
- L-shaped brackets for corners and internal frame connection
- Flat mounting brackets with multiple screw holes
- Custom angle braces for odd-shaped cases or shockproof design
OEM buyers can request variations in thickness, shape, and mounting hole positions.
5. Ball Corners (Corner Guards / Steel Corners / Rounded Corners)
Ball corners protect flight case edges from drops and impacts. We produce:
- 3-leg and 2-leg ball corners
- Stackable corners with or without bumper pads
- Rounded or square-edge designs
Choose from chrome, matte black, or raw finish depending on your product line. These corner protectors are essential for durable road case builds.
6. Casters (Swivel Casters / Brake Casters / Heavy-duty Wheels)
Mobility matters. We provide:
- Swivel casters with smooth ball bearings
- Locking brake casters for equipment security
- Flat plate and stem mounting styles
Our caster wheels are designed for high-load cases and industrial use. Wheel materials include rubber, nylon, and PU.
7. Extrusions (Aluminum Profiles / Edging Strips / Rails)
Aluminum extrusions frame the body of the flight case. We manufacture:
- Lid-locating extrusions with tongue-and-groove profile
- Double-angle profiles for corner alignment
- Flat U-channels and edge strips
Our factory offers cutting, punching, and anodizing services for OEM extrusion needs.
