FAQs for Road Case Hardware

What exactly is road case hardware?

Road case hardware is all the essential parts that make a case strong and travel-ready. Things like handles, latches, hinges, corners, and wheels fall under this category. Whether it’s for music gear, tools, or equipment, the right hardware keeps your road cases secure and easy to move.

What does the ATA road case hardware mean?

“ATA” stands for Air Transport Association standards. ATA road case hardware is built tough enough to meet airline shipping requirements. This means stronger latches, recessed handles, steel corners, and heavy-duty wheels - perfect for cases that travel often by plane or truck.

Is there a difference between flight case hardware and road case hardware?

The terms are often used interchangeably. Flight case hardware usually refers to hardware designed for airline travel, while road case hardware can mean any type of touring or transport case. In both cases, you’ll find the same core parts - corners, latches, handles, and casters - all built to handle heavy use.

What hardware do music cases usually need?

For music gear, common hardware includes butterfly latches, ball corners, recessed handles, and caster wheels. Guitar case hardware, drum case fittings, and amp case parts all fall into this category. These parts keep instruments and equipment safe while on the road.

Where can I find guitar case hardware and parts?

If you need to fix or build a guitar case, suppliers like TCH carry everything from hinges and latches to grips and corner protectors. Having the right guitar case hardware makes it easier to keep your instrument safe and your case road-ready.
