They are skilled masters in the art of age-old forging methods. The products they make are made one-at-time with a commitment to preserving the old-world traditions of hand-crafted ironmongery that were passed down to them.

Borderland Rustic Hardware is driven to create top quality
hand forged iron products. We work with a select group of designers to create

pride in the fact that various tradesmen use our hardware in use of their
craft. Our hardware is made for those people that want to have unique and
high-quality hardware that will perform as well as it looks. Our iron hardware

craftsmanship.
To install the nail, it is recommended to use a rubber
mallet and lightly tap them into the wood. If it is an especially hard wood,
you might need to pre-drill pilot holes first. If you are going to drill pilot
holes, we recommend the screw diameter of 7/64”.
To select the best finish for your project you need to keep
in mind the environment that the nails are going to be in. The black finish is
the only finish which we recommend for exterior use.
The oil rubbed bronze finish is only recommended for
interior use. The finish should darken over time and has the possibility of
having a green patina if they are used in a humid environment.
The sealed finishes can be used outside, but we recommend
the nails have limited expose to direct sunlight. Direct sunlight will shorten
the lifecycle of the seal and can cause the seal to turn slightly yellowish in
color. If you use the sealed nails outside you will need to recoat the nails
with a sealer from time to time and various depending on the elements. We
recommend using Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch 2X Ultra Cover Matte Clear Spray for
resealing our nails.
The unfinished clavos will eventually start to oxidize over
time, especially if they are exposed to high level of humidity. Nails with our
rusted are oxidized has a residue that can rub off.
