Driven by
Detail.
Humble Beginnings.
The story of TradCo began nearly four decades ago when Graham and Denise Duff started producing restoration architectural hardware to sit neatly within Australia’s historical homes. As the business grew, so did the range of designs. TradCo now offers over 4000 diverse products that stem from a range of design influences and are sold in over 600 stores across Australia and New Zealand.
Our Heart.
TradCo was conceived in Adelaide, where its head office and central distribution point remains. This has enabled the business to retain its best employees, some of which have been with the company for close to 30 years. Staff from across the country and overseas have also joined the company, bringing with them experience which adds to the melting pot of ideas and innovations.
Guided by Values
Trust.
Our values, history and expertise have enabled TradCo to foster trusting, long term business relationships with our customers; understanding their unique requirements and providing convenient, timely solutions. If our people are the heart of our business, our strong service standard is what the company is built on.
Quality.
We use only the highest-quality brass and utilise both sand casting and forging methods to create our distinctive range of products. This highly durable metal reflects the grandeur of period architecture and interior design.
We utilise some of the strongest and most reliable mechanisms throughout our door hardware range, so that you can be sure your products are made to last. With strict quality control protocols in place we can ensure that your hardware is fit-for-purpose and accurate every time.

Restoration.
At TradCo we’re driven by detail. You’ll see it in each of our products. You’ll see it in our range of finishes. More importantly, you’ll see and feel it each time you interact with one of our quality products within your space. We believe that when a house is finished with care it transforms into a home, a part of people’s lives.
We respect the history of every home and love to restore old buildings to their former glory. Whether it be a hinge, light switch or door lever, every one of our products has been created with this in mind. These values allow us to define the details so that we can help enhance your home.
