Hardware & Materials
Tough. Trusted. Proven.
Built to Withstand the Demands of the Road
A well-built flight case should offer reliable, long-lasting protection for your equipment — and that starts with the right hardware. That’s why Ovation partners with Adam Hall, a globally respected German brand with over 40 years of experience in high-quality case components. Their precision-engineered fittings are trusted worldwide and form the backbone of our road case hardware.
Explore the sections below to discover what sets Ovation Cases apart.
PLYWOOD
We source our laminated Birch plywood from Scandinavia and the Baltic States—regions renowned for producing the highest-grade plywood in the world. This premium Scandinavian Birch features tightly compressed layers bonded with high-performance, DIN-certified (DIN EN 204) D4-grade glue, offering exceptional structural stability and moisture resistance. It’s finished with a durable ABS plastic laminate on the underside for added strength and protection.
The result is a plywood panel with optimal density, outstanding durability, and excellent resistance to moisture, impact and wear. The outer laminate also helps conceal scratches and abrasions, keeping your cases looking professional over time.
EXTRUSIONS
Ovation Cases are built with high-strength aluminium extrusions that taper from 1.5mm at the edge to a solid 3mm at the bend—up to twice the thickness used in many other case brands.
This added material not only increases structural rigidity but also improves long-term durability under heavy use.
A recessed channel in the extrusion cleverly shields rivets from impact, reducing wear and offering a cleaner, more professional finish.
Designed for strength, protection, and precision—every detail adds up to a case you can rely on.
Ovation Cases are fitted with a comprehensive range of high-quality hinges, including piano hinges, butterfly hinges, and hinged lid stays—each selected for their strength, reliability, and professional finish.
Our Adam Hall hinges feature a thicker profile than most standard road case hardware, providing enhanced durability and long-term performance. They’re precisely engineered to align with the grooves on the lid stays, allowing for smooth operation and a secure closure every time.
The hinged lid stays also include a click-stop mechanism that holds the lid firmly at a 90° angle when open, making access easier and safer during use. Together, this complete hinge system not only improves functionality but also adds to the polished, premium feel of every Ovation Case—designed with both users and repeated use in mind.
LATCHES
Ovation Cases are fitted with a selection of heavy-duty butterfly latches from the trusted Adam Hall range, each chosen to suit the size and application of the case. We use multiple latch sizes across our designs, ensuring optimal performance and a secure fit for every case configuration.
All latches feature added rivet protection to reinforce durability and extend the life of the hardware under heavy use. For added security, we offer latch options with integrated padlock loops or built-in locks—perfect for safeguarding valuable equipment during transport or storage.
Recessed into the case body to prevent snagging and reduce wear, these latches are easy to operate while delivering a strong, positive locking action. Combined with the overall build quality of Ovation Cases, our latch system contributes to a professional, reliable solution trusted by touring professionals and production crews alike.
RIVETS
A rivet isn’t just a rivet. Ovation Cases use premium Italian-made grooved rivets, precisely sized to match the thickness of our plywood. Their shorter length prevents them from piercing through the internal surface, protecting your equipment and allowing for better bonding of internal foam and lining materials.
The grooved stem, combined with thicker washers, creates stronger mechanical grip and increased tension within the drilled hole—ensuring a more secure, long-lasting hold. The rivet heads are also double the standard thickness, offering extra resistance to knocks and abrasion during transport. It’s a small but critical detail in building a road case that’s made to last.
BALL CORNERS
Ball corners play a crucial role in protecting your case from impact during transport and handling. Ovation Cases are fitted with heavy-duty steel ball corners that provide reinforced edge protection and absorb shock at critical points.
Sourced from leading hardware manufacturers, our ball corners are built for strength, durability, and a clean finish—helping your case withstand knocks and drops while maintaining its structural integrity and professional appearance.
CASTOR BACKING PLATES
While the standard method for mounting castors involves inserting T-nuts into the base of the case, Ovation Cases take it a step further.
We reinforce all castor mounts with precision-engineered steel backing plates. This significantly increases resistance to impact, pull-through, and long-term wear—ensuring your case stands up to the demands of heavy use and transport.

CASTORS
Premium cases demand premium mobility. That’s why Ovation Cases are fitted with high-quality 4" castors from trusted manufacturers such as Adam Hall and Tente (Germany). Known for their smooth roll, load capacity, and durability, these castors provide reliable movement across a range of surfaces—making transport effortless, even when fully loaded.
