Hardware: Fastening and Fittings

This topic focuses on the identification, preparation for, and application of various fasteners (nails, screws, rivets) and fittings (hinges, locks, handles). Learners develop skills in securely joining and assembling components, which is essential for quality product construction. Understanding hardware application is a practical competence assessed in School Based Assessment and is crucial for detailed project work aligned with the ECZ Design and Technology syllabus.
