Hardware grade 3, NO. Grade 5, yes. Home depot has mostly grade 3, most
neighborhood hardware stores have grade 5 or 8. 8 isn't needed.
Most of the nuts, bolts and washers that come off the front and rear
cover plates and covers are usually just fine to re-use. Some washers
are special shapes and should be re-used as they are special purpose.
