Apparatus for handling and feeding of groups of fasteners such as screws to an applicator or applicators for applying workpieces such as hinges to a base at a series of worksites. A dispenser at a charging site receives from a fastener feeder a charge of the groups of fasteners needed at all of the worksites of the series and then moves consecutively to each of the worksites to dispense a group of fasteners to an applicator at each worksite. A plurality of passageways extend from a fastener receiving side at the top to a fastener discharge side at the bottom of the dispenser, one passageway for each fastener to be dispensed. The discharge ends of the passageways register with receiving apertures at the applicator at each site. A series of gates at positions along the passageways selective hold and release groups of fasteners at their respective positions.
