Frequently Asked Questions

We need a drawing showing the profile dimensions, bend locations, material type and thickness, quantity required, and whether coating is needed. CAD files, sketches, or even photos of similar items are all helpful.

Yes, if you have an existing piece you want replicated, bring it in and we can measure and reproduce it. This is often the easiest way for replacement parts or matching existing items.

No minimum - we're happy to make one-off pieces or large production runs. Setup costs are the same regardless of quantity, so larger quantities are more economical per piece, but we cater to all order sizes.
