The Feeney Advantage: The First Cable Railing Company

5 Reasons to Give us 5 Stars

Since 1948, Feeney, Inc. has had advantages — superior quality, service and innovation. We are the original cable railing company and the leader in technical and design advancements with unmatched customer service. Woman-owned, family-run and with an unflinching drive for excellence. Want to learn more? Check out these five reasons that we continuously earn five stars:

1. Quality and Longevity

Feeney products are made from premium materials that are designed to look good and last for years after installation. We receive low numbers of warranty claims on our products, reflecting our excellent construction and installation processes.

The confidence in our products can be seen in our design and material considerations, warranty terms and approach to customer service. Some highlights include:

10-Year Limited Warranty CableRail Stainless Steel Cables and Connectors.
Fittings and stainless steel cables designed to work together as a complete system.
Concierge-type service and care Feeney shows its customers, with support as the cornerstone of the company’s philosophy.
Components made from 316-grade austenitic stainless steel, marine-grade, which provides greater corrosion resistance without degrading than 304-grade stainless steel — making it ideal for installations exposed to salt spray, salt air, chemicals, and pollution.
High ductility and a lower carbon content, making it stronger and protects against cracking and shattering.
Excellent performance in the 1,000-hour ASTM B117 salt spray test, completing the procedure without signs of corrosion.

2. Sustainability and Responsibility

In addition to sustainable cable railing components, Feeney architectural products are made from stainless steel and aluminum, which are among the most-recycled materials. Most Feeney products also contain pre-consumer reclaimed content (LEED® points), and upon disposal, the materials can be recycled at metal reclamation sites.

Feeney products, including our eco-friendly rail, are durable and have long use cycles, which reduces replacement costs and maximizes material usage efficiency.

Feeney’s manufacturing facility in Oakland, California, features a solar array that can produce enough electricity to offset much of the facility’s energy needs. Outgoing shipments utilize reusable or recyclable heavy duty cardboard boxes and FD approved, biodegradable packing peanuts.

Feeney, Inc. is a member of the United States Green Building Council, which is committed to transforming how buildings are designed, constructed and operated through LEED, the world’s most widely used green building system with more than 100,000 buildings participating today

3. Invention and Advancement

Feeney, Inc. holds several patents that make installing Feeney products smarter, faster and safer.

Feeney’s Quick-Connect® fittings, made from 316-grade stainless steel, provide excellent tensile strength. Our cable railing can span longer distances and is easier to install because of these fittings. The fittings also feature a one-way locking mechanism and don’t require crimping, swaging or special tools to install — just slip it on, pull the cable taut and cut off the excess.

Feeney is also the original innovator of cable lacing needles, both straight and curved for single corner posts. These allow for swiftly threading cable ends through drill holes in posts without snagging or splaying, reducing installation time and effort.

Our QuickConnect® release tool, which is needed to allow release of the cable from its fitting if a position adjustment is needed, and wrench wheel, are among many of our innovations that make installation and adjustment simple.

Feeney’s CableRail tensioning tool kit contains Feeney’s new 90-degree adapter, which allows for faster and easier tension runs with only 2 ½ inches of spacing at the outside post face and a 6X gear ratio lets installers tension CableRail with minimal effort.

4. Ease of Use

Making designing, purchasing and installing our cable railing easy is a top priority at Feeney. CableRail Kits are the most popular and cost-effective solution for custom wood and aluminum railing frames and include everything needed to attach and tension a cable.

Our Quick-Connect® technology does not require tools for installation and installers have the ability to trim excess cable in the field. In addition, easy-to-use tensioning tools speed up installation while providing vital proper tension throughout the cable.

5. Design and Inspiration

We’ve been breaking boundaries since our company was founded and are now on the cutting edge of the cable railing industry with our unique, design-forward and innovative products. But quality products aren’t enough — we’ve cultivated an eye for beauty, elegance and exceptional design that makes our products sing in whatever space they are in. That’s why Feeney also works with outside design experts to create inspirational spaces and concepts that inspire and excite. With a wide range of colors, materials and finishes, Feeney’s aesthetic and design appeal are unmatched in the industry.
