American Made Shelf Brackets and Hardware

When it comes to high-quality metal shelf brackets and hardware, the details matter. At Cascade Iron Co., we take pride in every product we make. Unlike big-box stores and mass-produced alternatives, our hardware is built to last.

So, what sets Cascade Iron Co. apart? Let’s break it down:

cascade iron co. vs mass market

1. Made in the USA – Crafted in Silverton, Oregon

We are proud to manufacture all of our metal brackets and hardware right here in the USA—in the heart of Oregon. Many big-box alternatives may claim to be "American-made," but in reality, they are imported and only assembled or painted in the U.S.

When you choose Cascade Iron Co., you’re not just getting a high-quality product; you’re supporting local craftsmanship and American jobs.

2. High-Quality American Steel

We don’t cut corners. Our hardware is fabricated with premium American steel, ensuring superior strength and durability. On the other hand, many cheaper alternatives are made from thin, lower-quality metal with unclear sourcing.

For projects that require strength—whether it’s floating shelves, countertop brackets, or mantel supports—you want hardware that can truly hold up over time.

3. Custom Options – Built for Your Unique Needs

Because we make our own brackets and hardware, we can offer custom sizing and designs that fit your exact needs. Mass-produced alternatives often have strict factory specifications, limiting your options and making it harder to find the perfect fit.

At Cascade Iron Co., we work with homeowners, designers, and contractors to provide the best solutions for their projects—not just one-size-fits-all hardware.

4. Built by a Family-Owned Business with Real Construction Experience

We’re not just selling hardware—we understand construction. Our company is family-owned, and our founder has a background in commercial construction, meaning we know what it takes to create functional and reliable hardware for real-world applications.

Meanwhile, mass-produced hardware often lacks the proper screws, sizing, or mounting support needed for true stability. We ensure that our products are strong, secure, and built to last.

5. Trusted Industry Affiliations

We take quality and craftsmanship seriously. That’s why we’re proud members of the Home Builders Association (HBA) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)—two respected organizations that uphold industry standards.

Cheaper alternatives? No affiliations, no guarantees.
