Clevis Pen – Precision Clevis Pins for Ornamental Iron Fences & Gate Hardware
Reliable Supply from a 20-Year-Old Chinese Foundry – OEM/ODM Ready with ISO 9001 Quality Assurance
If you are sourcing clevis pen (commonly referred to as clevis pins) for ornamental iron fences, gates, or architectural hardware, you need a partner who delivers consistent quality, tight tolerances, and on-time shipments. At Shijiazhuang TJJ TRADE CO., LTD., we have been manufacturing cast iron and wrought iron components for over two decades. Our factory produces high-strength clevis pins designed to withstand outdoor exposure and heavy loads, whether you need standard sizes or custom dimensions. As an experienced foundry and export company, we serve import managers, brand owners, wholesalers, and sourcing agents in the USA, South America, Europe, and Africa.
Why Importers Struggle with Clevis Pin Sourcing
Sourcing clevis pins for ornamental ironwork often presents challenges:
- Inconsistent dimensions – Pins that do not fit standard brackets or gate hinges cause installation delays and rework.
- Poor material quality – Low-grade steel or iron leads to rust, bending, or breakage, especially in coastal or humid environments.
- Minimum order quantities too high – Many suppliers require large MOQs that tie up capital for small to mid-sized distributors.
- Long lead times – Without a dedicated foundry, sourcing agents face unpredictable production schedules.
- Lack of customization – Standard sizes may not match unique designs required for ornamental fencing projects.
These pain points are exactly what TJJ solves by combining decades of foundry experience with flexible, buyer-centric policies.
TJJ Solution – Factory-Direct Clevis Pins That Meet Your Exact Needs
Our clevis pen product line is designed for the ornamental iron industry. We manufacture using high-grade cast iron or ductile iron (ASTM A536) and also offer steel clevis pins upon request. Each pin is produced with precision machining to ensure the cross-hole and head dimensions match industry standards. We support OEM/ODM projects, providing custom lengths, diameters, head styles (round, square, or tapered), and finishing options such as powder coating, galvanizing, or black oxide.

What Our Clients Say About Our Clevis Pins
John M. – Import Manager, Ornamental Iron Distributor, USA
"We previously sourced clevis pins from a trading company and had issues with inconsistent hole alignment. TJJ provided samples that matched our bracket exactly. Now we order 5000 pieces every quarter – consistent quality and on-time delivery. Highly recommend for OEM projects."
Sarah L. – Brand Owner, Custom Gate Hardware, Canada
"We needed a custom clevis pen with a square head and a 5mm cross-hole. TJJ’s team was very responsive, sent us a drawing for approval, and delivered in 25 days. The finish (black oxide) is uniform and durable. Great partner for our boutique hardware line."
Carlos R. – Sourcing Agent, Latin America

Mike T. – Wholesale Distributor, Europe
"We tested TJJ’s ductile iron clevis pins against three other suppliers – their product had the best dimensional consistency and no porosity. Since then, we have placed repeat orders for over 20,000 pieces. The MOQ flexibility really helped us start without overstocking."
Lisa D. – Project Manager, Architectural Metalwork, Australia
1/2 clevis 1/2 clevis 1/2 clevis
