Self Tapping Screw

Overview

Self Tapping Screw is a furniture fastener engineered for engineered-wood panels (MDF, particle board, plywood), giving strong pull-out resistance and fast, repeatable assembly. The notes below cover construction, selection factors, sizes, materials, finishes, application fit, and installation for OEM production.

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.
