Straight Straps – Collection FAQs

1. What do straight straps typically reinforce or accent?
Straight straps are used to strengthen long seams on beams, doors, gates, furniture, cabinets, and timber-frame joints. They add stability while introducing a clean, elongated decorative iron detail.

2. How do Old West Iron straight straps stand apart from the thin versions sold in hardware stores?
Our straps are cut from heavier steel and finished by hand for authentic forged texture. Unlike flimsy stamped alternatives, they offer real structural support and the rugged Old World look that defines our craftsmanship.

3. How can I determine the correct strap length for my project?
Measure the area you want to reinforce—whether a beam seam, door face, or furniture joint—and choose a strap long enough to cover the span with balanced proportions. Larger or heavier doors benefit from longer or wider straps.

4. What finish and surface texture options are available?
Straight straps come in matte black, natural iron, oil-rubbed bronze, and several hand-distressed rustic finishes. Hammered, peened, and antique textures are applied in-house to coordinate with our hinges, bolts, and architectural hardware.

5. Are these straight straps hand-forged or hand-finished?
The strap profiles are precision-cut for consistency, while all textures, edge work, rivet details, and final finishes are hand-applied by our American blacksmiths—giving each piece genuine wrought-iron character.

6. What is the typical lead time for straight straps, and where are they made?
Most straight straps ship within 1–10 business days, depending on style, finish, and size. All decorative and custom-finished hardware is made or finished in the USA at our Idaho forge.
