Plating Company Near Torrance

Machine shops near a few miles of beach.

Torrance is one of the South Bay's biggest industrial cities, with aerospace, machining and corporate offices spread across its business districts. It also has a quieter side: Old Torrance downtown, and neighborhoods like Walteria and the Hollywood Riviera, close to the beach where salt air reaches outdoor fixtures.

Torrance work is handled by mail. Photos or a drawing get you a written quote. Ship by ground and your box usually arrives the next business day. We tumble, plate or coat as needed, inspect, and ship the order back insured.

Machine shops and aerospace suppliers send small parts for electroless nickel. Manufacturers send production runs for tumbling and plating. Homeowners send faucets, door hardware and outdoor lights, and restaurants in Old Torrance send rails and trim. A few local collectors send small vintage pieces too, mostly lamps and bar tools.

What We Do

Plating Services in Torrance

Torrance asks most for electroless nickel plating, tumble finishes and nickel plating for industry, and chrome plating and brass plating for homes.

Why Torrance Sends Its Plating to DMC

Machining bays, Old Torrance and Riviera homes.

Torrance machine shops make parts with tight tolerances, and they need a coating that won't throw off the fit. Electroless nickel is the common answer, often with a medium or high phosphorus level picked for the job. Larger manufacturers send stamped or cast parts in quantity, which we tumble to remove burrs before plating.

On the residential side, homes near the beach in the Hollywood Riviera and Walteria deal with salt air, and outdoor fixtures dull faster. Old Torrance has older buildings and restaurants with hardware and rails that need a fresh finish now and then.

    It adds an even, predictable layer, so you can plan for it. Tell us the thickness you need and we plate to it. Because the layer is uniform, threads and bores keep their shape.

    Usually it helps. Tumbling removes burrs and smooths edges, so plating covers evenly and parts are safer to handle. We run a sample batch for your approval first.

    Yes. Salt air dulls and pits outdoor metal over time. We strip the old finish, repair small pits and replate in nickel and chrome or sealed brass. A fresh water rinse now and then helps it last.

    We do. Runs of hundreds or thousands of parts are routine. Tell us the finish and count, and we plan the batches and timing with you.

    Yes. We strip, polish and plate them in polished or satin brass, sealed with clear lacquer. Chrome and nickel are other durable options for heavy use.

    Not at all. Most of what comes through our door is home and business hardware: faucets, light fixtures, door handles, cabinet pulls, railings and decorative pieces. We also work for hotels, restaurants, boat owners and manufacturers.

    Tell us what the part is, roughly how big it is, how many pieces you have and the finish you're after. If you know the metal, mention it. If not, that's fine. We can usually tell from the photos.

    Every part is quoted on its own. The biggest factors are condition, the base metal, size and shape, the finish you choose and how many pieces you send. A part with deep pits or broken spots takes more work before it can be plated.
