Brass & Bronze Fasteners

Add warmth, character, and timeless elegance to your project with our premium brass and bronze fasteners. Whether you're building cabinetry, restoring vintage furniture, or upgrading exposed hardware details, these solid metal fasteners offer both functional strength and striking visual appeal.

Unlike plated or coated alternatives, our brass and bronze fasteners are crafted from solid metal alloys—ensuring long-term durability, natural aging, and resistance to corrosion. The golden hues of brass and the rich, reddish-brown tones of bronze lend themselves to a wide variety of design styles, from colonial and Tuscan to nautical and modern rustic.

Pair these fasteners with our hand-forged hinges, decorative plates, or antique-inspired hardware to elevate your craftsmanship with materials that truly last.

How It’s Made

Each fastener in this collection is milled or cold-formed from solid brass or solid bronze bar stock, not plated steel. This ensures the material’s natural integrity remains intact through the life of the product. Threads are precision-cut to ensure proper fit with compatible nuts or inserts, and heads are often buffed or lightly polished depending on the style.

• Brass Fasteners: Made primarily from a copper-zinc alloy, our brass bolts and screws offer high tensile strength with a warm golden tone. Over time, they can develop a soft patina or be polished to maintain shine.

• Bronze Fasteners: Formed from a copper-tin alloy, bronze fasteners are known for their toughness, especially in outdoor or marine applications. These develop a deeper, rustic patina with age, adding charm and authenticity to any project.

We offer several finish options, including raw, brushed, sealed, or oiled bronze and brass, to meet your aesthetic and functional needs.

FAQ – Brass & Bronze Fasteners

Q: Will brass or bronze fasteners rust over time?
A: No—neither material rusts, as rust is an iron oxide and these alloys contain no iron. Instead, they develop a natural patina, which actually helps protect the metal.

Q: Are these fasteners solid metal or just plated?
A: All of our brass and bronze fasteners are solid—not plated. That means they won’t chip, flake, or lose color like plated hardware.

Q: Can I use brass or bronze fasteners outdoors?
A: Yes, both metals are naturally corrosion-resistant. Bronze is especially well-suited for outdoor and marine environments. For best longevity, choose a sealed finish or reapply oil occasionally to maintain the look.

Q: Will these fasteners match my antique hardware?
A: Most likely, yes. The natural patina of brass and bronze allows them to blend seamlessly with vintage or antique pieces. If needed, you can accelerate patina with aging solutions or polish to match existing finishes.

Q: Do I need special tools to install these fasteners?
A: Standard tools work just fine. However, to preserve the finish on visible heads, use a cloth or soft-jawed driver when tightening.

Q: Are custom lengths or head styles available?
A: In some cases, yes. If you're looking for a specific length or decorative detail, reach out—we often accommodate special requests or can direct you to the right piece from our extended inventory.
