Introduction

At Titus, we bring together innovation, engineering expertise, and a deep understanding of customer needs to provide functional hardware solutions that elevate the standard of closet systems. Our focus is on improving productivity, enhancing quality, and reducing the costs associated with assembly, manufacturing, and other processes. Our three key divisions — high-volume cabinet hardware, motion control solutions, and precision parts manufacture — work together to provide a full range of services. With a commitment to innovation and efficiency, we enable our partners to succeed in a competitive market.

Our functional hardware solutions are designed to meet the diverse needs of closet systems, ensuring seamless assembly, reliable performance, and aesthetic appeal. Below, we outline the key products that make us a trusted choice for closet solutions worldwide.

Closet assembly begins with a reliable cabinet construction using a System 6-like connector, offering a solid and efficient foundation. Doors are then added with the T-type hinge, chosen to match the specific use case. For example, the T-type 170-i hinge enables wide-angle opening with zero door protrusion, making it ideal for closets with interior drawer as it allows drawers to slide out without obstruction. Drawers are integrated based on storage needs, supported by internal fittings such as racks or organizers. Plastic legs provide stability and height adjustment, while accessories like the Push Latch S2 enable smooth push-to-open functionality. Together, these components form a practical and functional closet system.
