Hardware Reorganization Project of 2012

Hardware Reorganization Project of 2012

The Need

Unsorted bins of screws, nuts, bolts, washers, etc. from the Ace Hardware closeout.
Hard to find parts quickly.
Not clear what items we do and do not have on hand.

Description

The East Side of the shelving has been sorted and arranged to house hex bolts, carriage bolts, washers, and nuts.
The West Side will be used for anchors, lag screws, sheet metal screws, cap screws, and misc. items.
Per Tom Gralewicz's suggestion, items are grouped by size, then by type; making it easier to grab a bolt, washer, and nut quickly.
Laser-printed paper labels added to clearly identify bins.
Empty bins have been pulled out, flipped around, and inserted backwards for ease of sorting.
Note: Plastic label holders slide side-to-side and hinge from the bottom.
- To open, pull the top of the clear plastic lip inside bin toward you while pressing down on face of label cover with thumb.
- To close, ensure groove in middle of lip is centered and snap top back over top of grey plastic bin edge.
