Shop Long-Lasting Iron Hardware →

As we turn the page into a new year, many of us are focused on upgrading, building, or restoring the spaces we call home. Whether you’re beginning a fresh project or finishing a long-planned renovation, there’s one detail that often gets overlooked but makes all the difference: the hardware.

At Old West Iron, we believe the start of 2026 is the perfect time to invest in ironwork that endures—not just for today, but for generations to come. From hand-forged hinges to heritage-style brackets, the right hardware isn’t just decorative—it’s foundational.

Why Hardware Should Be Built to Last

Cheap hardware fails. Over time, mass-produced fasteners, brackets, and hinges bend, rust, break, or loosen, leading to costly repairs and disappointing results. Our approach? Make it once—and make it right. That’s the blacksmith’s way.

Our hand-forged hardware is crafted from solid, builder-grade materials, made to withstand the elements and the test of time.

The Generational Difference: What Makes Our Hardware Unique

Made in the USA — All ironwork is forged right here in Idaho
Veteran-Built — Two generations of experience, including Army veterans at the forge
Hand-Forged, Not Stamped — Authentic textures, finishes, and detailing
Custom-Fit Options — Because no two projects are the same
Time-Tested Designs — Inspired by Colonial, Old World, and Early American styles

Whether you’re building a timber-framed home, restoring a family barn, or replacing cheap store-bought brackets, our ironwork brings strength and story to your project.
