Made to order
Custom fasteners, made to your drawing
HAGUE FASTENERS makes custom fasteners in the UK to customer designs, OEM drawings, specifications or a sample. From a single prototype to batches of several hundred, in the material and with the paperwork your project needs.

Custom fasteners
When the part you need does not exist
Custom fasteners are bolts, studs, nuts, screws and machined parts made specially for one application, because no standard part fits the design, the material or the duty. HAGUE FASTENERS has made them in Willenhall since 1971, and they are most of what we do.
We will not claim to be the cheapest. We promise close attention, honest advice and parts made properly, with your budget in mind.
Four kinds of custom
- Bespoke designs to customer and OEM drawings
- Standard catalogue sizes in special materials nobody stocks
- Assured origin: parts that must be made from UK, EU or US material with paperwork
- Uncommon threads: metric fine, BSW, BSF, UNC, UNF and other forms
- Replacements copied from a worn or broken sample
How it works
From enquiry to finished part
Every custom order follows the same controlled route, so nothing is assumed and risks are raised before we start cutting metal.
01
Send your details
A drawing, specification, sample or a clear photo beside a rule, with quantity, material and the documents you need.
02
Drawing and specification review
Our engineers check the design, flag risks early and suggest options on material, coating or manufacturing route.
03
Quotation
A clear, prompt quotation, often with alternatives where they would save cost or time.
04
Material
Certified, traceable bar from stock or approved UK, EU and US mills.
05
Manufacture and processes
Machined and threaded in house, with heat treatment, NDT and coatings by audited partners we manage.
06
Inspection and release
Calibrated inspection, testing to plan and release with your documentation.
What to send
Help us quote quickly
Send it to sales@haguefasteners.co.uk or through our contact page. Your drawings and data are held on IT systems certified to Cyber Essentials, and handled under our information security and classified information policies.
The best starting points
- A dimensioned drawing, ideally with tolerances and revision
- The specification or standard the part must meet
- A sample, which we can collect for large items
- Or a photograph of the part beside a rule for a quick estimate
Also tell us
- Quantity, and whether repeats are likely
- Material grade, or the service conditions
- Coating, heat treatment and testing needs
- Certificates required, such as EN 10204 3.1
- When you need the parts
Reverse engineering
No drawing? Send us the part
Many custom fasteners start as a worn or broken part with no drawing. Photograph it beside a rule for a quick estimate, then send the sample and we will measure it and make a replacement. Where it helps, we can upgrade the material, length or thread form at the same time.
- Quick estimate from a photograph
- Collection of large samples can be arranged
- Material, length or thread upgrades on request
- Rapid breakdown service from stocks of steel and superalloy bar
Materials and documents
The right grade, fully proven
All material comes from UK, EU or US mills, with no Far Eastern material or imports.
Carbon and alloy steels
EN8 to EN26, 42CrMo4, classes 8.8 to 14.9, B7, L7 and B16. Carbon steels.
Stainless steels
A2, A4, 316, B8, B8M, 17-4PH and more. Stainless steels.
Duplex and superalloys
Super duplex, Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy and titanium.
Non-ferrous and polymers
Bronzes, brass, copper alloys, nylon and PTFE.
Certificates
CoC and EN 10204 2.1, 3.1 and 3.2, with mill certificates and heat numbers.
Testing and first articles
UKAS-accredited testing, ITPs, FAIR, ISIR and PPAP. See quality.
Lead times
Honest lead times, agreed at quotation
Lead time for custom fasteners depends on the material, the quantity and any heat treatment, coating or testing involved, so we confirm it on every quotation rather than quoting a headline figure. Because we hold stocks of steel and superalloy bar and machine everything in house, many orders can start straight away.
For breakdowns, tell us it is urgent and we will tell you plainly what is possible.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you make custom fasteners in small quantities?
Yes. We make custom fasteners from a single prototype upwards, including 5, 10 or 25 off, and batches of several hundred. There is no minimum order.
What do I need to send for a quote?
A drawing, specification or sample, with quantity and material. If you have none of these, a photograph of the part beside a rule is enough for a quick estimate.
Can you copy a fastener without a drawing?
Yes. Send the sample and we will reverse engineer it, and we can improve the material, length or thread form if needed.
Which materials can you use?
Carbon and alloy steels, stainless, duplex, super duplex, nickel alloys, titanium, bronzes and polymers, all from UK, EU or US mills. See fastener materials.
Do custom parts come with certificates?
Yes. We supply certificates of conformity and EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 material certificates, with test reports and full traceability where required.
