Doug Mockett Hardware Adds a Finishing Touch to Furniture

With height adjustment available at the touch of a button, Doug Mockett’s TLEL3 electrical table legs give workers the freedom to maximize comfort for their tables and workstations.

Hardware is one of the most important—and overlooked—elements of furniture design. Whether a surface-mounted power outlet or wire stay channel, the right accessory can entirely transform how one interacts with an object.

California-based hardware manufacturer Doug Mockett & Company understands the importance of these finishing touches. Founded in 1980, the brand has cemented itself as a leader in the design industry by providing innovative wire management concepts—there are now over 80 options—and convenient power solutions for furnishings. The brand also offers drawer pulls, table legs, casters, shelf supports, and signage.

Below are five Doug Mockett products that add new utility to furniture.
