Metal Finishing Shop Serving Norco

Hitching rails in front of the grocery store.

In Norco, the horse really does come first. Much of the city is zoned for horses, there are more than a hundred miles of riding trails, and hitching rails stand outside shops and restaurants. The historic Lake Norconian Club, once a grand resort and later a Navy hospital, sits on the edge of town. Summers are hot and dusty.

Down the 15 from Horsetown USA, a box is usually here in a day. A few phone photos are all we need to price it. We strip, coat or plate and inspect each piece, then send it home insured.

Horse owners send stall latches, gate hinges, hitching rings and trailer hardware. Tack and feed stores send display hardware and signs. Ranch homeowners send porch lights and fixtures, and builders send rails for new horse properties.

What We Do

Plating Services in Norco

Norco relies on powder coating and refurbishing for horse hardware, with nickel plating, chrome plating and patinas.

Metal Finishing Services for Norco

Stable rows, tack shops and trail side porches.

With horses in so many backyards, Norco goes through a lot of hardware. Stall door latches, slide bolts, gate hinges and hitching rings get slammed and chewed on every day. We strip rust and old paint and powder coat them in tough finishes, masking the moving parts so they still slide and latch freely.

Tack and feed stores send bit and bridle displays, sign brackets and hitching rails. Horse trailer owners send latches, tie rings and ramp hardware. At home, ranch style houses send porch lights and lantern fixtures for a Western look in black or bronze patina.

    How Norco Customers Ship Parts to Us

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Norco horse owners and businesses often ask these.

    Yes. We strip rust and old paint, repair worn spots and powder coat them in a tough finish. Slide bolts and pivot points are masked so they keep moving freely. Horses sometimes chew on hardware, so we suggest a smooth gloss or satin finish that's easy to keep clean. Send the count and we'll quote it.

    Yes. Smaller parts ship in a regular box. Large ramps or doors need freight, so send sizes first.

    Some do. Display brackets, rails and signs are stripped and refinished in brass, black or powder coat. Saddle racks and bridle hooks come in too.

    Black or oil rubbed bronze patina, sealed for outdoor use, gives a classic Western look. Glass panels stay with you.

    Yes. Steel hitching rails are stripped of rust and powder coated in a tough color, often black or dark brown. Long rails usually travel by freight, so measure first. Many Norco businesses also send the tie rings and brackets that go with them.

    The shop is open Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM and Saturday from 9 AM to 2 PM. We're closed on Sunday. Shipments are received Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM Pacific.

    Usually, yes. Send a photo of the piece you want to match, or ship it along with your parts as a sample. We adjust the finish until the new work sits right next to the old.

    When the work is done and inspected, we pack your parts in fresh materials and ship them back insured. If you're close to Oceanside, you're welcome to pick them up instead.
