HARDWARE INSTALLATION
South Bay Fabrication offers installation for a variety of fixtures to meet your assembly requirements.
ABOUT HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Hardware installation may be needed when sheet metal parts require secure, repeatable fastening without relying solely on welding, adhesives, or traditional nuts and bolts. Installed hardware can provide strong attachment points, simplify assembly, support serviceability, and help maintain consistent alignment across fabricated components.
South Bay Fabrication installs a variety of permanent and removable fasteners, including PEM-style clinch nuts, rivet nuts, nutserts, weld and spot-weld nuts, and a wide range of rivets to meet your assembly requirements.
