Ted Rivett and Rae Pickell founded Rivett Architectural Hardware in 1977 with three employees and a simple commitment: quality products, honest service, and do right by the customer. The company grew from that small Whitby operation into a regional supplier serving projects across Canada and internationally.
Ted retired in 2007 after 30 years at the helm. Rae followed in 2022. Today, Rae's brother and two sons continue the legacy as partners, leading a team of 30+ people (many with over 25 years of tenure). The name on the door is still the family behind the business.
We hang our family name on every job. That is the standard we have held for 49 years, and it is the standard we hold today.
49 years of local knowledge across Ontario. Each location is staffed with
product
specialists who know the lines.
