We provide reliable, durable and easy-to-use systems for use in Outdoor Exhibits and Paddocks, Containment and Holding Areas, Maintenance Barns, Veterinary Centers, Quarantine Centers, Crowding Doors and Gates, Barn Doors and Stalls, and more.

Available in Heavy-Duty 304 and 316L Stainless Steel
Our heavy-duty stainless steel hardware is extremely durable and resistant to moisture, corrosion, abrasion, heat and impact. Its nonporous surface makes it easy to clean, while its aesthetic appeal makes our hardware a great fit for public-facing exhibits. RW’s 316 stainless steel products can be found in zoos and aquariums around the world, including in the marine enclosures at the state-of-the-art Abu Dhabi SeaWorld.
