What Are Industrial Fasteners?
Industrial fasteners are unique hardware devices that mechanically join two or more components, even if they're difficult to connect. They're an integral part of construction, manufacturing, automotive, HVAC, marine, and aerospace applications. Instead of reaching for an adhesive or welding equipment, fasteners like blind rivets bring unparalleled holding power that can be installed with the help of simple tools.
Even if your project requires vibration resistance and strength, our industrial fasteners are a permanent option to join sheet metal, aluminum panels, plastic housings, and more.

Material Options for Industrial Rivets
The material you choose for your fasteners should consider strength as well as factors like corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, thermal expansion, and galvanic compatibility. When you shop industrial fasteners, you have access to a selection of
- Aluminum Rivets: Opt for lightweight and rust-resistant, which makes them perfect for HVAC, siding, and general light-duty applications.
- Steel Rivets: Get high strength and vibration resistance for heavy-duty repairs, auto work, and structural projects.
- Stainless Steel Rivets: Select highly durable and corrosion-resistant ones for marine, outdoor, or medical uses.
- Aluminum-Steel Combos: Get a combination of corrosion resistance with cost-effective strength.
- Specialty Rivets: Browse copper, brass, and other materials for specific technical or decorative applications.
Whatever you're working on, we offer detailed specs with tensile strength, shear ratings, grip ranges, and diameters to make it easy to shop industrial fasteners online.
Fasten from One Side with Blind Rivets
Blind rivets, or pop rivets, are a popular option because they only require access from one side of the material. They're the right fastener for even tight spaces or when you're trying to assemble together hollow structures. When you pull through the inside mandrel, it causes the body to expand and form a tight, lasting joint.
These types of fasteners are widely used in:
- HVAC duct installations
- Automotive bodywork
- Aircraft skin assembly
- Roofing and siding
- Metal fabrication
- DIY repairs
These types of rivets are quick, clean, and don't require threads, nuts, or welding to make your next project as simple as possible.
