How to Choose

  • Screw type and thread for the board material
  • Head type and drive (Pozi, Torx, hex socket)
  • Length and diameter for the joint
  • Board material: MDF, particle board, or plywood
  • Pre-drilling and pilot-hole requirement
  • Pull-out resistance and joint strength
  • Bulk packaging and count per carton

Material Options

Hardened carbon steel with zinc plating is standard; stainless suits damp or outdoor-adjacent furniture. Thread geometry is tuned for chipboard and MDF holding power.

Finish Options

Zinc-plated (clear or yellow) is the default for corrosion resistance; black and nickel match exposed assembly screws.

Recommended for These Applications

Installation Notes

Pre-drill the recommended pilot in MDF and particle board to prevent splitting, then drive to flush without over-torquing. Use the correct bit to avoid cam-out on high-volume lines.

Buying Notes for OEM Orders

For OEM assembly, standardize a short list of screw sizes per joint type and order in bulk cartons with consistent drive type to keep the line fast.
