We are proud to offer an exciting and high-quality collection of 1/2" dia. Smooth Carriage Bolts designed to meet all of your fastening needs. Our specialty fasteners feature a standard smooth head that helps provide a secure fit for all types of projects, giving you peace of mind throughout the installation process. We also are proud to offer a shoulder that sits underneath each bolt head, ensuring none rotate while you’re tightening with a nut – no more slips or glitches during fitting!
Generally speaking, our carriage bolts do not require a washer under their heads. However, we do recommend adding one beneath the nut as extra precautionary measure to ensure optimal performance.
We also take great pride in our various hand painted finishes ranging from black to oil-rubbed bronze and acid washed natural rust, creating a look that can be either rustic or modern depending on your project goals. Put simply, our 1/2" dia. Smooth Carriage Bolts represent the perfect upgrade when it comes to truly enhancing both the look and value of your home.The 1/2" carriage bolt has a 1 1/16" round head.

- Pewter: A wax containing pewter is rubbed on the part, leaving the silver-ish pewter color on the highs points of the metal and the lows will be black. Recommended for hammered of distressed textured items.
- Aged Bronze: A wax containing bronze is applied to the piece and then wiped away. This finish leaves the high points of the metal black and the low points a goldish-bronze color. Recommended for hammered or distressed items.

- Rusty Metal Patina: This finish leaves the reddish, orange color of the rust on the low points of the piece. It looks best when selected with a hammered or distressed texture
- Gunmetal: This is an acid finish leaving hints of blues and browns coming through the part. The coloring soaks into the metal making it more scratch resistant (Good for high use items).Not recommended for outdoor use
- Wrought Iron Patina: This is an acid was finish, the blackish coloring will soak into the metal making it more scratch resistant (Good for high usu items). Not recommended for outdoor use

United StatesThread/shank lengths very random
Some bolts (of equal length) were threaded full length, others had long shanks, short threads. A few the square-head bolts had maybe 1" of threads, barely enough to be usable. Very random, needs to be more industry standard, or at least say in the description what the shank/thread length is.

Can any of these finishes have an outdoor application? I’m putting a wrought iron barn door latch on some exterior barn doors. Looking for an exterior carriage bolt set to secure it.

Hello,
All finishes can be used outdoors except for Wrought Iron Patina, Gunmetal, and Raw/Unfinished (unless you are okay with rusting over time).

A:
Hello you can find decorative washers that would allow for a square hole to use behind the head of a carriage bolt here https://www.oldwestiron.com/collections/decorative-washers. Otherwise if you are looking for basic USS washers that you would be using on the other end with a nut you can find those here https://www.oldwestiron.com/collections/uss-washer Please let me know if you have any further questions.

A:
Hello. The prices for finishes are not the same. Once you select a finish option and size it will show you the difference in price. We do not have a quantity requirement the amount you put in your cart is the amount you will receive. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help with.
