About Us

KL Hardwarestore established January 2002.

Weve come along way since starting out of a home garage at Caringbah.

Below is our factory at Caringbah in Sydney's Southern beachside suburbs.

January 2001 I started off thinking that we could corner a niche market in Southern Sydney. Little did i know at the time, the most common customer that we service is likely to not be situated in Sydney at all.
We had to learn geography very quickly and set up transport networks all over Australia and Internationally.
We even keep up to date with the Shipping Timetables out of Port Botany to service a growing number of clients in Fiji, New Caledonia, New Zealand and Vanuatu.

A big surprise was the demand for hardware supplies in Canada and the United States.
Of all the places on earth, I would have thought the North American market would have been saturated.

This website was launched in April 2008 as our Tradies and architectural internet site. It has in a short space of time become our primary website, exceeding all expectations The original website will need a major renovation soon.

========================================================================================

May 2008 We have decided that the time has come to expand the business by way of partnering with other independent hardware stores.
If you are currently in the hardware and building materials industry, have access to the numerous specialised hardware buying groups and are thinking of building an online presence with your current business, lets talk.
We will direct local business to you.

Your business will be listed as the only local hardware store in your region.

We am particulary interested in expanding into Queensland , Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia, and to also expand our Sydney base.

Currently we specialise in doors timber and door hardware.
Electrical, plumbing and other specialised building materials is an area of future expansion that will fit in well with this business model.

If this idea interests you, contact Kevin

========================================================================================

I really enjoy the challenges that this business throws at me. Communicating via email and telephone is not the easiest way to sell the products we handle, as generally most people would like to touch and feel the product.
I hope the presentation of this website overcomes the need to physically visit our store.
