About Hardware Fasteners
The Hardware Fasteners category, identified by ID 500054, resides within the Hardware Accessories section of the Google product taxonomy. It is the designated category for items designed to securely join or attach materials in construction and assembly projects.
What belongs here
This category is intended for mechanical hardware used to connect components. Based on examples from the US market, this includes:
- Carriage, hex, and lag bolts for heavy-duty connections.
- Various screws, such as construction, machine, concrete, and structural lag screws.
- Specialty fasteners like Molly bolt assortments, socket cap screws, and self-drilling metal screws.
- High-strength structural hardware such as industrial bolts used in assembly.
What does not belong here
Do not use this category for products that fit into neighbouring classifications. Items such as hinges, drawer slides, brackets, reinforcement braces, or cabinet hardware have their own specific categories. Likewise, consumables like construction chemicals, general hooks, or tool storage solutions do not belong here. Please map items to their most granular path available in the taxonomy.
Choosing a subcategory
Always select a subcategory if your product fits one of the specific groups provided, such as Nuts & Bolts, Screws, Nails, or Drywall Anchors, as these offer greater accuracy for Google's algorithms.
Feed implementation
You may provide either the numeric ID 500054 or the full path: Hardware > Hardware Accessories > Hardware Fasteners. While the attribute is optional, using the most specific category ensures better performance, as Google may otherwise assign a generic classification.
