Custom Blacksmith Shift4Shop Theme
Hand, size and finish options on hinges, latches and pulls
Left-hand or right-hand is the question that stalls a lot of the hinge orders a blacksmith gets by email, followed closely by what size strap suits a door that's forty inches wide. A store that answers both on the page turns those emails into orders. Foxco builds a custom blacksmith Shift4Shop theme where hinges, latches, pulls and hooks carry options for hand, length and finish, with a sizing guide showing door diagrams and a request form for gates, railings and fireplace tools made to measure. On your current Shift4Shop store it's $999 installed and configured. If you'd rather run the shop somewhere else, we migrate stores to WooCommerce, BigCommerce or Shopify too.

Blacksmith theme questions
Is this a stock theme with forge photos?
No. It's custom, designed around your shop and built with your brand, hardware line, ironwork and pages.
How long until the store is up?
7-10 days after your logo, photos and product list arrive. Rush jobs depend on how much bandwidth we have at the time.
Can buyers pick hand, length and finish on each piece?
Yes, through product options with price changes where a longer strap costs more. A configurator that draws the hinge to scale would be a custom project.
When would a migration make sense for a forge?
For hardware and commissions, a redesign usually wins. If classes become a major income stream, migrating to a platform with booking tools is the better fit and we scope it separately.
Every email asking which way a hinge swings is a sale on hold. The theme answers it with a diagram and a dropdown, so the buyer orders while they're still standing in front of the door.
Options a builder understands
Strap hinges, thumb latches, pulls and hooks carry options for hand, length and finish, from raw with wax to black oxide. A sizing guide matches door widths to recommended strap lengths; diagrams settle the handing question once and for all. Customer groups let contractors who buy by the box see their trade pricing after they sign in.
Made-to-measure work
Gates, railings, pot racks and fireplace sets go through a request form that asks for measurements, photos of the space and style references. Foxco is a microagency, which means a team builds your store instead of one freelancer squeezing it between other jobs. The finish samples page shows each option on real steel.
A new theme or a new platform
A hardware catalog with options and trade pricing sits comfortably on Shift4Shop, so redesigning is the efficient move for most forges. If teaching takes over, with class seats, waitlists and deposits, a move to WooCommerce or Shopify handles bookings better. Hardware listings, trade accounts and past orders move across in a migration and old links redirect, all quoted as a separate project.
