Rivets and pins might be the unsung heroes of fasteners—often overlooked, but absolutely essential. When properly selected, they deliver structural integrity, precise alignment, and long-lasting durability in demanding environments. At Marsh Fasteners, our stainless steel rivets and pins are built for performance in marine, construction, industrial, and automotive applications. Whether you need blind fastening, quick-release options, or high-precision alignment, we offer a complete range in both 18‑8 (304) and 316 stainless steel grades.
Our Range Includes
Our range of stainless steel rivets and pins includes the following:
Pop Rivets
Efficient blind fasteners that provide a permanent hold from one side of the material—ideal for quick installations where access is limited. With a clean, flush finish, pop rivets are a top choice for lightweight yet secure connections.

Dowel Pins
Precision alignment components that ensure parts fit perfectly and function properly. These cylindrical pins are critical for accurate positioning in assemblies requiring exact tolerances.

Why Choose Marsh Fasteners
What Our Customers Say
These guys always have what I’m looking for in stock. I got tired of going to Home Depot to in search of the fasteners I needed for a project only to find out that either they didn’t stock that size, they were out of them or they only had packages of one or two of that particular fastener. Not to mention spend 15 minutes sorting through various packages put back in the wrong place. I’m always building or repairing things and some of the fasteners I need are a weird size. Marsh Fasteners always has them in stock, their staff is polite, and their prices are fair.
I love marsh fasteners!! Kathy and her grandson are the nicest people you will ever meet!! Kathy and Chris were my old bosses. Kathy is the best.
This is a great company to buy stainless steel fasteners from. Fast service, quality products, and competitive pricing. Don’t waste your time at the Big Orange or Big Blue box stores.
