Metricbolt.com LLC

Metric Bolt supplies American-made fasteners, screws, metric bolts and hardware from Lake Worth, Florida. It sells to government and non-government customers. The company says it has served the aerospace and military markets since 1965.

The company is a master distributor of fasteners and supply chain services for defense contractors and other industries. Its warehouse holds more than 25,000 items, many of them mil-spec fasteners. It also stocks hard-to-find parts, including metric sizes and threads that are often tough to source. If a part is not on the shelf, the company says its supply network can find it quickly or have it custom engineered.

DFARS compliance is a major theme. For a military fastener to meet DFARS rules, its metal must be melted or made in the United States or a qualifying country. Metric Bolt guides customers through these rules. It can track raw materials from start to finish and supplies the papers and certificates that prove where the material came from. The company is a government QSLD distributor. It also shows an ISO 9001 compliance mark.

The range covers commercial and mil-spec fasteners in both inch and metric sizes. Specialties include stainless steel fasteners, inserts and Keenserts, dowel pins, metric screws, socket products, standoffs and spacers. The company also makes and reworks custom hardware in many styles, materials and platings. Standards include AN, MS, NAS, NASM, ASTM and ANSI, DIN, ISO and JIS, and SAE. Domestic, RoHS and DFARS specifications are available.

Custom engineering is a separate service. The company can design and make a fastener from a customer's requirements or drawings, using DFARS compliant material. It also offers specialty fabrication when a standard fastener does not meet the need.

Customers include defense companies, government buyers, commercial companies, engineering firms and construction firms, mostly for industrial use.

The company follows lean practices to keep up with supply chain changes. Customers can ask for a quote through the website.
