Plain Straight Iron Joist Hanger
Backed by our 100% Quality Guarantee
If a piece arrives defective or damaged, we’ll replace it.
Hand-forged in Idaho by American blacksmiths. Every piece is individually crafted for authentic Old-World durability.
Textures & Finishes
At Old West Iron, every piece of hardware is a work of craftsmanship—right down to the final finish. This page showcases how each of our hand-applied finishes appears across our four distinct hammered textures:
Smooth – clean and refined
Hammered Edges – subtle hand-worked edges with a classic touch
Distressed – irregular and aged for an antique look
All Hammered – bold texture across the entire surface for maximum character
We offer a wide range of hand-brushed and hand-rubbed finishes, each designed to complement our blacksmith-forged textures and bring out the natural depth of the iron:
Raw / Unfinished – natural iron, ready to age or finish as desired
Gunmetal – deep gray with a cool, industrial feel
Wrought Iron Patina – classic blacksmith finish with depth and age
Black – rich and solid for a bold, traditional look
Natural Rust – oxidized finish for a weathered, rustic appearance
Oil Rubbed Bronze – warm, bronze highlights over black with depth and sheen
Aged Bronze – Brighter bronze with dark highpoints for a worn, authentic look
Pewter – soft silver-gray highlights over black, subtle and elegant
Aged Pewter – deeper, bright silver with black high points for a timeworn feel
Rusty Metal Patina – hand brushed rust tones to mimic age and texture
Our bronze finishes are crafted with real bronze flake wax, while our pewter finishes feature real silver flake wax, giving each piece a luxurious, authentic sheen you won’t find in mass-produced finishes.
This visual guide helps you choose the perfect texture and finish combination to match your project’s style—whether you're creating a sleek modern entryway or restoring a centuries-old timber frame.
Please note: While we're happy to provide whichever combination you'd like, we don't recommend pairing oil rubbed bronze with our smooth texture. Smooth has no high and low points, so the bronze will not show up well and you'll be left with a piece that appears black. We recommend pairing oil rubbed bronze with a hammered texture (all hammered, distressed, or hammered edges) or smooth with a solid finish.
Lead Time: Usually ships in 1-2 weeks.

Our Plain Iron Joist Hangers are a simple and industrial way of supporting two perpendicular beams. We offer two styles, tabbed or concealed, so you can get the right look to suit the design of your project. With these joist hangers you can easily install beams after they have been put into place, making this an easy process with minimal disruption to your space.
For those of you looking to increase the structural integrity and value of your home’s décor, our Plain Iron Joist Hangers are a must. The decorative options available ensure that along with the added strength support provided by these beam joists, the overall aesthetic appeal of your home is also increased - thanks in part to choose from our range of hammered textures and finishes available.
Safety is key when it comes to this kind of product and, as such, we insist on 1/2” diameter or larger fasteners being used for installation in structure applications with heavy loads – providing you with much needed peace of mind about its fitness for use in such situations. What’s more, clavos are not recommended when installing our overhead metal braces for extra security assurance.
Investing in our high-quality Plain Iron Joist Hangers will not just save you time and money but also give you complete confidence that the job has been done right!
