Our Story

We saw a problem. We built a better way.

Why we started

We started Highland Forge because we kept seeing the same problem: beautiful rooms let down by hardware that bent, sagged, or simply couldn't handle the weight of quality drapery. Extendable rods seemed convenient — until they weren't. We believed there was a better way to do custom, and that it didn't have to be complicated to get there.

Our mission

Remove complexity of custom products by obsessing over the details, continually refining our craft, and delivering thoughtful experiences at every step.

Who We Serve

Homeowners

You want it done right, once.

You've spent time and money on the right furniture, the right fabric, the right room. Highland Forge hardware is the finishing detail that holds it all together — built to your exact window measurements and made to last as long as the room does.

Trade Professionals

We know what's riding on install day.

Tight timelines, high-expectation clients, and hardware that has to be right the first time. We've spent over 20 years working alongside designers, architects, workrooms, and installers — and built our trade program around making your life easier.
