Hardware historically meant the metal parts and fittings that were used to make wooden products stronger, more functional, longer lasting and easier to fabricate or assemble.^{[citation needed]} In modern usage it includes equipment such as keys, locks, hinges, latches, corners, handles, wire, chains, plumbing supplies, tools, utensils, cutlery and machine parts, especially when they are made of metal.^{[citation needed]} In the United States, this type of hardware has been traditionally sold in hardware stores, a term also used to a lesser extent in the UK.^{[citation needed]}

In a more colloquial sense, hardware can refer to major items of military equipment, such as tanks, aircraft or ships.^{[citation needed]}
