Rustic Iron Hardware and Home Decor
HAND-HAMMERED HISTORICAL REPRODUCTIONS
Our forte is our hand chosen line of designs in historical wrought iron reproductions with an emphasis on the original style iron hardware/fasteners, such as, decorative screws, hand-hammered square head lag screws/bolts and hammered head carriage bolts. We have created an expansive collection of door, furniture, cabinet, and trunk hardware in all of our unique design options from the most rustic to the most primitive forged iron, not excluding our dramatic ornate iron.
Welcome to Old West Iron
We offer authentic reproductions of old world hand-crafted iron products with a focus on creating one-of-a-kind items while keeping the craftsmanship of the ole' days alive. Our products have the craftsmanship of our ancestors which shows in the small irregularities and inconsistencies of our hand-hammered scrolls and textures, and hand painted patina finishes, a small testament that these items are not stamped out of an assembly line.

Testimonials

As I review other reviews I realize that we seldom take time to complement others when we have a good experience and are anxious to get even when we have the slightest inconvenience. This is a small family owned business that works long hours putting out a remarkable product. You would not expect someone to be talking on the phone while pounding on a red hot piece of steel. Some people never get their hands dirty doing an honest day's labor. This is a family that puts a part of themselves in every piece. Your are getting a truly handcrafted item, made in the United States, not some cheesy mass produced junk .

"I swore off of reviews as I just don't have time, but I thought these people deserved one. I know it's just standard good business but it's so rare today that it struck a nerve. I ordered pointy wood screws and nuts to match. THEY CALLED ME and said, "Are you sure you didn't want flat ended bolts since you ordered nuts?" I just really appreciated them making that phone call to me rather than allowing one more frustrating complication into my life. Thanks, Nice Lady Who Called."

"If I could give this company 6 stars I would. I ordered to have two custom post caps made for stairs in my house that is being remodeled in Orange County. I searched through several vendors and nobody wanted to touch my design ideas. Not only did Old West Iron deliver, their creative design team improved on the ideas and we finished with what I would consider nothing less than two pieces of art. The custom builder on my home (i.e., MJ Star) was impressed with their work they are going to refer other customers when looking for custom iron work. MJ Star is known for custom home building and remodeling for past 30 years in Southern California. I believe Old West Iron deserves this recognition and I would like to give a special shout out to Tess. She was incredibly professional and when she said something was going to be done, it was done. Standing ovation! They have my business!"

"This company is very professional. Tess and Dora were very detailed oriented and patiently listened to what I wanted in my hammered brackets. They came out amazing and look great on my pergola. The brackets were accented with hammered hex bolts. I would definitely recommend them and buy from them again.This company is very professional.

"I’ve been working with Lisa on several projects for a new home currently under construction. I’ll be sharing pictures upon completion. Her attention to detail is amazing. One of the projects was hardware for a barn door. I never thought I’d be able to recreate the picture I showed her, however Lisa did and it turned out amazing. Old West Iron makes great hand crafted, affordable quality products. Great customer service both online and in person by phone. Wish I had done all of my hardware selections through Old West Iron.I’ve been working with Lisa on several projects for a new home currently under construction.

Their hinges look great, work great and prevented a break in. I renovated a small barn a few years ago and used hinges on the barn doors made by Old West Iron. During a recent burglary attempt the crooks attacked the hinges repeatedly with a crow bar. They bent one of the hinges, but could not get in the barn due to the thick sturdy barn door hinges! Then I called Old West Iron, they told me to send in the damaged hinge, and they fixed it up like new for no charge. They are the best and I will definitely use them in the future again. Thanks for doing great high quality work!!

Architectural Face Plates
Wood Construction Connectors
Our decorative yet structural builder supplies include our iron face plates such as T plates and L plates. Our straight plates are great for hiding unsightly seams and supporting beams and posts. K plates and center plates are designed to support the trusses and beam in the ridge. To support the top of the ridge we recommend ridge center plates. To brace the sides of the trusses you should use gable end plates and gable thru plates. We also offer angle iron, iron straps, angle braces, metal corner braces, and beam straps. These iron braces are often used as post and beam brackets, ridge supports, truss plates and more.

Joist hangers are the structural and decorative iron hanger brackets that support the connection of two perpendicular beams. Our decorative joist hangers are availabe in two styles, tabbed or concealed. Only tabbed or faux concealed iron joist hangers can be installed after the beam is installed. Pair these decoative metal brackets with our square head lags to complete the look.

What Is
Wrought Iron?
The commonly misused term "wrought iron" is no longer produced on a commercial scale. True wrought iron is a semi-fused mass of smelted iron created by heating ore in a forge with charcoal, which both expels most of the slag and welds the iron into a solid mass. In the 1860's wrought iron was replaced by mild steel since it was less expensive and more readily available. Most of today's products described as "wrought iron" are actually mild steel. The term "wrought" was actually used to describe the process used to create the iron, the word wrought itself meaning worked in Middle English. Our iron products are steel (an alloy of carbon and steel, with iron being the base metal) unless otherwise specified. We do offer a hand applied finish that replicated the look of the old wrought iron.
