Chrome, Nickel and Brass Plating in Walnut

Quiet hills, equestrian trails and Mt. San Antonio College.

Walnut is a hilly, mostly residential city on the east side of the San Gabriel Valley. Equestrian trails wind between neighborhoods, many homes sit on larger lots with views, and Mt. San Antonio College, one of the biggest community colleges in California, sits near the center of town. The city has very little industry.

Walnut pieces travel to our shop by ground in about one business day. Pictures are enough for a written quote. We strip, plate or coat and inspect everything, then ship it back insured.

Homeowners send chandeliers, faucets, cabinet hardware and entry door sets. Horse owners send stall latches and trail gate hardware. The college sends handles, rails and lab fixtures, and small businesses send storefront pieces.

Walnut mostly orders nickel plating, brass plating and gold 24k plating, along with powder coating for trail and gate hardware.

Metal Plating Near Walnut

Grand entries, riding trails and college corridors.

Walnut's hillside homes are often remodeled with care, and owners want lighting and plumbing that look custom: polished nickel, satin brass, gold accents on chandeliers and entry hardware. We finish complete sets together so a whole house matches, and match samples by hand when needed.

The equestrian trails mean gates, latches and hitching posts all over town, and our refurbishing work restores them in tough powder coat. Mt. San Antonio College sends door handles, rails and fixtures during breaks, labeled by building and room so everything returns where it belongs.

One Piece or a Thousand

Big order or a single knob, same care.

Homeowners send us one faucet. Companies in and out of state send production runs of hundreds or thousands of parts. Both get a written quote and the same inspection before anything ships back.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Walnut homeowners and horse owners usually ask these.

    Yes. We can plate the whole fixture in 24k gold over nickel, or plate only certain parts, like the arms or candle cups, in gold while the body is polished nickel or bronze. Take the crystals and glass off, pack the arms so they can't bend, and send photos with the size so we can quote.

    Yes. We strip rust, repair wear and powder coat them, masking moving parts so they latch smoothly. Dark colors hide dust and fingerprints well. Riders like gate latches that work with one hand from the saddle, so we keep the action smooth.

    Yes. Tag each piece by building and room, tell us when classes resume, and we return every round on time. Lab fixtures and handrails often come in the same round.

    Send one existing piece as a sample. We finish the new or replated pieces by hand to match it. Hand finishing lets us match even older pieces with slight wear.

    Yes, with gentle care. Gold over nickel cleans easily with mild soap and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive pads. Dry the faucet after use to keep water spots away.

    Yes, and most of our work starts that way. We strip the old plating down to the base metal, repair what needs repair, then plate it fresh. New plating over a failing layer never lasts, so we don't do it.

    We do. Along with single pieces for homeowners, we run batches of hundreds or thousands of parts for companies in California and other states. Send a photo of a sample, the quantity and the finish, and we'll quote the whole run.

    Steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, pot metal and zamak. Some of them need extra prep so the plating bonds well, and we'll tell you up front if your part does.
