Square Plate Washer
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 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 ViewT-Nuts
T-nuts are barrel shaped fasteners with internal threading, and are used to provide an anchor point for a bolt in a piece of wood, whether a flat board or a dimensional piece. They are especially useful when a flush surface is wanted. T-nuts have a flat base with prongs bent up at 90° angles, parallel to the barrel. After pre-drilling a hole, the t-nut can be fixed in place either by tightening a bolt into it from the top, which pulls the prongs into the wood, or using hammer to pound the locking prongs into the wood until flush.

Carriage bolts have a smooth rounded head with a square neck underneath that locks into wood to prevent spinning when tightened. Use with a pre-drilled hole and secure with a hex nut and washer. They are great fasteners for decks, play equipment, docks, fencing, and furniture.
The unique design is great for connections where the head is not accessible for tightening. The self-locking square neck and coarse threads fasten very securely.
All carriage bolts we stock have coarse threading as a standard. -

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. -

Drywall screws fasten sheets of drywall (also called sheetrock or plasterboard) to the wall or ceiling support studs. Drywall screws with coarse threads are used to to attach to wood framing. Screws with fine threading are used for metal studs. Also, self-drilling versions are available for attaching to thicker metal support.
Most drywall screws have a tapered bugle head to penetrate the drywall without damaging the outer layer of paper. Trim head screws are used to attach trim pieces over the drywall, and have a very small head that disappears into the surface for easy finishing. K-lath screws have a large wafer head to easily attach wire mesh, or lath, to the frame studs to support plaster. Their low profile heads are easily covered over by the finished surface of tile, stone, brick, stucco, etc. -

Read MoreQuick ViewMro Thread-Locker, 50ml Bottle
MRO Solutions thread-locking products are anaerobic compounds formulated for sealing, joining, fastening, retaining, and generally locking together metal components. Unlike other thread-lockers, MRO compounds are non-surface sensitive, so they do not require use of primers for curing.
Once parts are mated with MRO thread-lockers, they form a unitized assembly that resists vibration. In addition, the mated parts are sealed against attack from corrosion, internal rust, seizure, solvents, gases, and other chemicals.
