How much does a Binding Post Cost?
Determining the price of a binding post or post and screw system will depend on a few different things. If just a single piece of hardware of this nature is required as a replacement for an existing piece that no longer works then the price should be relatively low, depending on the size of the item being sought. Single pieces of hardware are generally affordable on any budget; however for unusually large requests the price may be significantly higher, especially if it is a special order item or something that requires the use of tool and die to create.
If the project for which the binding post is being considered requires a rather substantial amount of similar pieces of hardware, the cost per item should be reduced continuously with the greater quantity that is ordered. For large projects it is always wise to order an abundance of post and screw systems to account for loss. Due to the nature of these products the separate pieces can sometimes become dislodged from one another. This sometimes happens during the shipping process; however it happens quite a bit more often due to operator error. This occurs when the two parts are intentionally separated from each other to be placed into the final position. If the area is tight in nature the operator may lose grip on one half or the other and drop the piece in a place it cannot be easily retrieved.
Binding post systems are manufactured by quite a few different production companies that specialize in producing these types of products on a grand scale. Each of these manufacturers will have a different price associated with the various post and screw systems that they create. Each manufacturing company will be responsible for establishing their own price for the product before delivering it or making it available to the general public for purchase.
The binding post or post and screw system is a relatively new concept in the hardware industry. Due to the intricate nature of these devices they are slightly higher priced that a regular nut and bolt type of application. They are generally used in objects or materials where an established hole is present yet does not provide a method of securing it to another object with a similar hole established for alignment. This is a process commonly associated with architecture and construction.
What the binding post system is designed to do is provide additional strength and thereby reinforcement to the system. The outer sleeve protects the bolt from being damage or weakened by excessive force. This is a huge advantage to the architecture industry and ensures that the building being constructed will last longer than it would using conventional hardware designed to perform a similar duty. The post and screw system is similar and is used primarily in the home construction industry as well as in the furniture manufacturing market place. These systems allow for an easier process of assembly with regards to the furniture industry which is of great benefit to the Do-It-Yourself crowd.
