50 Pack Round Decorative Nails Door Clavos Hammered Iron 1.5" Diameter Hand Crafted for Barn Doors, Gates & Shutters – Unfinished – Borderland Rustic Hardware

Good quality decorative nail BUT, and it's a big "but"... The nail portion is way too long. Extremely frustrating. So on a barn door, typically 1x6 or 1x8 wood is used. That means the main part of your door is only 3/4" thick. This nail is just a hair under 7/8 of an inch so it will easily pop out the other side of the door if you place it anywhere other than the frame. This barn door build I'm doing requires almost all these clavos being off the frame and onto the single 1x8 boards. So that means I'm going to have to grind down over 100 of these. A big time sink. This problem isn't isolated to this seller. I have other clavos that have the same issue. A plea to the manufacturers of these very cool nails... This is a DECORATIVE nail! It's not supporting ANYTHING! It doesn't need to be over 3/4 of an inch long. Change your manufacturing process to shorten the nail section to 1/2 inch. That's all we need.

These are great quality, thicker nail than other companies market. I used the black (outdoor use) to finish off my board and batten cedar shutters. They look amazing and were super easy to work with when a pilot hole is drilled, as suggested. You must protect the nail head (I used a thick folded cloth instead of rubber mallet) and they hammer in nicely. Not one broke while installing. Here’s the best part: some nails came bent, (angled from the head, not the actual straight nail portion) and I wrote to the company regarding this. They explained that as handmade products this will happen but that they are not defective. They can be used and once the nail is started into the drilled hole the head can be tapped flat again. Then they sent me replacements anyway! I attached a photo. Lots of complements on the shutters and I decided to do all the windows, not just two sides as planned. Great product, great customer service!

Well made and quality clavos. Much better than I was expecting. The paint is well adhered to the metal subsurface; I tried to use stripper to get the paint off a few but it would not budge even after leaving it in stripper overnight. I also tried to chip it off with a hammer...still no dice. So, rest assured, the paint will be difficult to knock off or wear off over time.I had no problem nailing these into a large ancient oak slab I am using for my kitchen island.

These we're perfect for my project. Great quality and easy install. I had only one that gave me trouble but I believe it was due to my error which was too perfect of placement on each side of the door lpl

We bought these to put on shutters. They look great. We also added them to a headboard we made. They are well-made. I would purchase them again, and I definitely recommend to anyone looking to add nice detail to a project.

Love the added details to our custom gate! Be sure to use a rubber mallet to hammer in and take your time so as not to bend the nail or have it go in crooked. Would absolutely buy again.

Added these Clavos to my gate and its an instant upgrade. They are essentially large nails so you only need a hammer to install. They look great and do not look so manufactured as many competitors do. Would highly recommend

These are handmade and certainly look like it. I got the finished ones with a clear coat and they are shinier than I thought they would be. I am in the process of making a colonial pine table look like a medieval table and these should do the trick. Make sure to pre-drill some kind of hole before using.
