Door & Window Hardware
- Hinges (door and cabinet)
- Locks and deadbolts

- Sliding door tracks and rollers
Plumbing Fittings
| Fitting | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| Gate and ball valves | Water supply control |
| Pipe connectors and elbows | Piping layout |
| Faucets and mixers | Kitchen, bathroom |
| Water tank fittings | Overhead/underground tanks |
| Drain traps | Sinks, floor drains |
🔧 Pro Tip from Khokhar Hardware Store
Buy plumbing fittings in a consistent brand/quality grade throughout the house — mixing cheap and premium fittings across bathrooms often leads to inconsistent durability and mismatched replacement parts later.
Electrical Fittings
- Switch boards and sockets
- Circuit breakers (MCBs)
- Junction boxes
- Cable clips and conduits
- Distribution boards
Miscellaneous Fittings
- Nails, screws, and bolts (assorted sizes)
- Wall anchors and fasteners
- Gate and grille hardware
- Staircase railings hardware
- Curtain rods and brackets
If you're also planning waterproofing before finishing work, see our Waterproofing Guide for Roofs and Basements for what to prioritize before monsoon season.
Checklist by Construction Stage
| Stage | Key Hardware Needed |
|---|---|
| Grey structure | Basic fasteners, structural fittings |
| Plumbing rough-in | Pipes, valves, connectors |
| Electrical rough-in | Conduits, junction boxes, wiring hardware |
| Finishing stage | Door/window hardware, faucets, switch plates |
Tips for Buying Hardware
- Buy slightly more fasteners than estimated — small items are easy to run short on
- Choose rust-resistant fittings for bathrooms and exterior areas
- Confirm fitting sizes match your pipe/door dimensions before bulk purchase
- Keep receipts for your records on locks, faucets, and electrical fittings
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start buying hardware fittings?
Plumbing and electrical fittings should be purchased before the rough-in stage; door/window hardware and finishing fittings can be bought closer to the finishing stage.
Do all hardware fittings need to match in brand?
Not strictly, but keeping consistent quality grades within each room helps with durability and easier future replacements.
What's the most commonly forgotten hardware item?
Door closers and cabinet hinges are frequently underestimated in early planning and added late, causing delays.

Delivery Areas & Charges
Plain and simple — here is exactly how delivery works at Khokhar Traders.
Where we deliver: Locally within about 10–15 km of Jhelum city centre — Jhelum City, Civil Lines, Bilal Town, Kala Gujran, Haji Aima, Kotla Aima, Katchery, Mohamdi Chowk, Chishtian Mohallah, Madina Town, CITI Housing, and many more areas around Jhelum city centre. A little further out? We may still be able to deliver with extra charges — just ask.
Delivery charges: Agreed at the time of order. Share your location with our team and we calculate the exact distance, then confirm a fair delivery charge before anything is loaded. Prefer to save on transport? You are welcome to arrange your own transport.
Ex-shop rates vs delivered rates: Shop materials — cement, iron rebars (sariya), chips, tile bonds, paints, hardware — are priced at ex-shop rates: either we deliver at the agreed charge, or you arrange your own transport. Loose materials — sand, aggregate (crush), soil and gassu for foundation filling, and bricks on a full trolley — usually come with delivery included.
Full-truck cement delivery: We can deliver a full truck of 350–500 cement bags straight to your site (if a bigger truck can safely reach it). A small loader carries only 25–35 bags per trip — one full truck saves you many loader runs and real money on local transport.
Rates change daily: A rate confirmed over the phone is valid for that time of day only. A rate is locked with an official order and advance payment — we confirm the final rate and delivery charge together before dispatch.
Full details in our Shipping Policy — or call / WhatsApp +92 331 5083 648 and we will confirm today's rate and your delivery charge in minutes.
Good to Know Before You Act
Two honest notes about everything published in our guides.
Rates are market estimates and they change daily: any price or rate mentioned in our guides is an indicative market estimate for planning only — material rates in Pakistan fluctuate, sometimes daily. It does not matter what a guide, blog or old quotation says — the final and correct rate is always the one our team confirms with you on the day. Call or WhatsApp +92 331 5083 648 for today's exact price. A rate is locked only with an official order and advance payment.
No warranty on results — always speak to a professional first: quantities, mix ratios, material suggestions and methods described in our guides are general educational guidance, not instructions for your specific site. Results after mixing or using any material in any ratio depend on site conditions, water quality, handling, curing, storage and workmanship — we do not warrant or guarantee any result arising from following general guidance. Before you act, always speak with your engineer, contractor or a qualified professional — or ask our team for guidance on materials.
Planning a stage of your project? Contact us first — we will gladly go through your material list, today's rates and the right products for your site before you buy.
