Quick ViewAluminum Key Hole Washer
Aluminum key-hole washers are commonly used with combo truss machine screws and sidewalk bolts. They are used as an additional backing plate when storm panels keyways do not line up correctly. They are also often used to provide additional backing when sidewalk bolts have been changed out to truss head screws. They can be placed on after panels are installed.

Read MoreQuick ViewMachine Screws
Machine screws are meant to hold two metal work pieces together, with the use of a threaded pre-tapped hole, or through a hole and held with a nut. They are threaded the entire length of the shank. For most styles of a machine screw, the length is measured from under the head to the end of the screw. For flat head machine screws, since they are intended to fit into a countersunk hole, their length is measured from the top of the screw head to the end of the screw.

Read MoreQuick ViewCylindrical Head Socket Cap Screw
Socket cap screws have a small cylindrical head with tall vertical sides, and with recessed hex-shaped sockets with which to drive them. Because they are driven with hex keys (Allen wrench) or hex socket bits, they are ideal for applications where limited clearance would not allow the use of wrenches and sockets. In addition, the driving surface is protected from external damage and provides six sides of contact surface for added torque.

Read MoreQuick ViewButton Head Socket Cap Screw
The button head version of socket cap screws are commonly used for removable panels, machine parts, die fixturing, and clamping. The socket head enables driving where there is not sufficient space for wrenches or sockets. The button head offers a wider bearing surface and high tensile strength, but offers lower profile than standard socket cap screws.
Button Head socket cap screws are available as an alloy with black oxide finish, or as stainless steel. -
Read MoreQuick ViewSet Screws, Cup Point
Set Screws are essentially a headless bolt, which has a hex socket in the driving end. They are commonly used when a protruding head would be in the way of other moving parts. Their most common function is to secure two parts together, but without a pre-determined positioning point between them. A prime example is fixing a pulley wheel along a drive shaft, where the set screw in the wheel’s hub is tightened into the side of the drive shaft and holds them tight due strictly to friction.
Set screws are available either as a black hard steel alloy, or as stainless steel.
Because of its headless shape, and how it bores through its hole, a set screw is also known as a “grub screw”. -
Read MoreQuick ViewPro-Tect System for Pool Enclosures
PRO-TECT Fastener Protection System consists of a nylon sleeve and a cap that, together, cover and protect the anchor screw. The PRO-TECT nylon sleeve gives protection from electrolysis, providing worry-free installation while extending the life of the product. This is very important for the harsh conditions of the coastal environments and extreme temperatures.
The PRO-TECT cap snaps onto the top of the nylon sleeve, covering the head of the Blue-Tap anchor screw. Due to its special design, the cap will not come off easily. Caps are available in White and Bronze.
By repelling water and preventing penetration, PRO-TECT reduces or eliminates the need for warranty work, increasing life expectancy of the structures. -

Square plate washers are made from low carbon steel and have a larger surface area than round washers. Since they develop more friction when tightened against wood, they are often found in timber construction.
Often, square plate washers are used to attach treated lumber sill plates to concrete foundations. Another common use is using square plate washers to attach wood beams to the walls of a garage, and them mount the garage door rails and equipment. -

Read MoreQuick ViewWing Nuts
Wing nuts are a type of specialty nut with a pair of wings to enable it to tighten without tools. The wings provide a grip for the thumb and finger for turning. They are commonly used where frequent adjustments or removals are needed, and can be made quickly at a later stage.
An alternative form of the wing nut has a washer built in, and is used to storm-proof the windows of a building. This washer face allows the wing nut to be used to secure plywood onto fixed anchors, where the hole in the plywood will be larger than the anchor studs it and the wing nut are being mounted on. This provides the advantage of having a larger surface bearing the pressure, while also eliminating the need of a separate washer that will often fall and get lost during storm-prep installation. -
Read MoreQuick ViewSheet Metal Screws
Sheet metal screws, a type of self-tapping screw, have threads down the entire length of the shank for tapping and fastening thin material. The point style determines the type of material the screw can be used on, such as metal, wood, or plastic. These screws commonly have a sharp point that helps penetrate the material.
