Frequently Asked Questions

What types of case corners does TCH Hardware offer?

TCH offers a range of case and cabinet corners, including ball corners, flat corners, stacking corners, and flat corners with notches or stacking feet. These are used in case, cabinet, enclosure, transportation, road case, and flight case applications.

 

What is the difference between a ball corner and a flat corner?

A ball corner has a rounded, three-dimensional shape that covers the full three-way joint where three panels of a case meet. It provides corner protection where three panels meet and is commonly used on ATA-style flight cases and road cases. A flat corner lies flat against two-panel edges, protecting the edge where two panels meet rather than covering a full cube corner. Flat corners are typically used on cabinets, frames, and cases where a lower-profile guard is sufficient.

 

Are TCH corners compatible with standard flight cases and ATA cases?

Yes, TCH's ball corners and flat corners are commonly used on professional ATA flight cases and road cases. Offset ball corners, for example, are commonly used in laminated panel case construction and with aluminum extrusion-based case construction. Always verify the corner dimensions against your case panel thickness before ordering.

 

Do I need steel or plastic corners?

Steel corners are commonly selected for heavier-duty transportation and flight case applications, while plastic corners are often selected for lighter-duty applications or where weight reduction is desired.

What is a stacking corner, and when should I use one?

A stacking corner is a corner protector with a built-in foot or lip designed to prevent cases from sliding when stacked. The raised portion allows cases to help keep stacked cases aligned during storage or transport. TCH offers both plastic stacking corners and steel flat corners with stacking feet for heavier-duty applications. They are commonly used for touring, storage, and freight cases.

 

Can TCH corners be used on wooden cabinets and furniture?

Yes, Both the flat corner guards and ball corners can be applied to wooden cabinets, instrument cases, and custom-built furniture to add corner protection and a finished appearance. Light-duty plastic stacking corners are popular for wooden storage boxes and lighter-duty cases, while steel flat corners are well-suited for workshop cabinets, storage cases, and equipment enclosures.

 

How are case corners attached?

TCH corners are typically attached with rivets or wood screws (for solid wood or plywood cases). Some corners feature pre-drilled holes for both screw and rivet installation. Certain corner models include rivet protectors. Refer to the individual product page for specific features. Confirm the mounting method for each SKU before purchasing.

 

What is a corner with an offset, and why would I need it?

A corner with offset has a stepped profile that accommodates the thickness of the case panel and extrusion edge, so the corner sits flush and correctly aligned when mounted. This is important when your case uses aluminum extrusion around the edges, because the extrusion changes the mounting height relative to the panel surface. Offset corner styles are commonly used for this type of construction.

 

What is the difference between a corner with offset and a standard corner?

Offset corners are designed to accommodate the height created by case extrusions and panel construction, while standard corners mount directly to the panel surface.

 

What is the purpose of a stacking foot on a corner?

A stacking foot helps align stacked cases and can reduce movement between cases during storage and transport. Stacking feet are commonly used on road cases, flight cases, and transportation equipment cases.

 

Can I buy corners in kit or multi-pack quantities?

Yes, TCH offers multi-pack options, such as the Heavy Duty Ball Corner Kit (8-pack), which is ideal for outfitting a complete case. Bulk pricing is available through the "Request a Quote" function for larger orders.
