Self Drilling Screw

Overview

Self Drilling Screw is a furniture fastener engineered for engineered-wood panels (MDF, particle board, plywood), giving strong pull-out resistance and fast, repeatable assembly. This page summarizes how to specify it for volume furniture and cabinet manufacturing, including the dimensions and options that matter most to buyers.

Key Specifications

Specifications are configurable for OEM/ODM orders. Exact values are confirmed on the datasheet for your order.

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.
