Wood Screws

If you're searching for screws for wood construction, wood screws are the best choice. These screws feature a coarse thread that securely grips the wood. This creates a strong connection that will take time to come loose.

Metal Screws

For fastening metal components, we have a wide assortment of metal screws. These screws are available in different materials, such as hot dip galvanised and stainless steel. The materials have unique features like a torx head or a flange for extra grip.
 

At Fabory, we're always ready to assist you in finding the right screws for your project. Our expert team members are here to help and can advise on various options. Order your screws from Fabory today and benefit from our fast delivery and excellent service.
 

FAQ
 

What are screws and what are they used for?

Screws are fasteners with a cylindrical shape and external threading. They securely attach objects by turning them into another material or a nut. Screws find use in various applications such as woodworking, construction, electronics, and automotive. They offer a reliable, durable fastening solution that can easily be unscrewed and removed.
 

What types of screws are there?

There are various types of screws available for different applications. Some common types include:
 

• Metal Screws: Metal screws feature either metric or imperial threading. They are primarily used to securely fasten various components, such as machinery, electronics, or the automotive industry. Metal screws provide a reliable and durable connection, ensuring the strength and stability in mechanical applications.
• Sheet Metal Screws: These screws are often used in sheet metal applications to attach metal sheets to a structure or each other.
• Wood Screws: Wood screws have a sharp point and coarse thread and join wooden materials.
• Back Wall Screws: These screws are frequently used to attach the back walls of cabinets or furniture pieces. They have a collar and a shallow head height, ensuring the back wall remains flat.
• Roof and Facade Screws: These are hexagon head sheet metal screws with an elastomer sealing ring to prevent leaks.
• Wood Construction Screws: These screws are designed for attaching wood constructions. Their strength and particular wood screw thread provide a sturdy grip.
• Fitting Screws: Fitting screws have a smooth, cylindrical shaft without threading. The screw has a narrowed end with threads. They fit parts tightly together, such as in drive technology and machinery construction. Fitting screws offer a precise, thickened, smooth shaft without threading. This is essential for accurately assembling objects or for use as a shaft application.
• Cutting Screws: These screws have a specially designed thread (often with spiral grooves along the length of the thread) that cuts thread paths into the base material.
• Chipboard Screws: These screws have a very sharp thread and a thin core, allowing them to be used in chipboard without pre-drilling. They cut thread paths in the chipboard, preventing it from being damaged by bulging or splitting.
• Universal Wood Screws: These screws often have cutting ridges at the tip to create a hole in the wood.
  
  A section of coarse thread follows this to pull the screw into the wood quickly. Additionally, a section of cutting ridges along the shaft prevents the material from splitting during tightening. In the case of countersunk heads, these ridges are also located beneath the head to allow for countersinking. The steel variants can be used in the most challenging types of wood without pre-drilling, while stainless steel variants may require pre-drilling in hardwood.
• Self-Drilling Screws: These screws are designed to drill through thin metal and tap several thread paths in the same motion. This allows these screws to be used without the need for pre-drilling.
• Self-Tapping Screws: These screws function similarly to cutting screws. Instead of cutting thread paths, however, the thread paths are formed by pressure. This way, no chips are created when the screw is screwed in.

It's essential to choose the right screw based on the specific application, material and desired fastening properties.
 

How do I choose the right size screw?

When selecting the proper size screw, you must consider various factors such as the material type, thickness, and the desired fastening strength. Ensure you choose the appropriate thread and head style for the specific application.
 

How do I prevent screws from loosening?

You can prevent screws from loosening by following these measures:

• Use the right screw for the job: Select the correct screw based on the material and application. A screw with the correct thread and head style ensures a strong and durable attachment.
• Pre-drill when necessary: Pre-drill is sometimes necessary before placing the screw. This is especially important for harder materials like metal, plastic, or hardwood. Pre-drilling prevents material damage and improves the grip of the screw.
• Use thread-locking adhesive: For additional security in combination with internal and external threading, you can use thread-locking adhesive to hold the screw in place and prevent loosening. This is particularly useful for applications exposed to vibrations.
• Inspection: Regularly check if the screws are securely tightened. If needed, you can tighten them again to maintain their firmness.

These simple steps ensure that screws remain securely and safely fastened in your applications.

Remember that if you have more questions or specific requirements regarding screws or other fasteners, you can always contact our expert team. We are specialists in fastening materials and are ready to assist you in finding the right solutions for your professional needs.
 

When should I use stainless steel screws?

Stainless steel screws are often used when corrosion resistance is essential, such as outdoors or in humid environments. Stainless steel offers excellent protection against rust and corrosion, resulting in longer-lasting screws and maintained structural integrity. This makes stainless steel screws durable for projects exposed to the elements or damp conditions. In the food industry, stainless steel is also frequently chosen due to its hygienic properties compared to steel. However, stainless steel grade A4 is preferred for its higher resistance to more aggressive cleaning agents in such cases.
 

What different thread variations are there?

It's useful to understand the various thread variations available to know which thread you need for which application. Here are a few examples:
 

• Sheet Metal Thread: Sheet metal thread (ST) is used where different (thin) metal plates must be fastened together. Think of attaching accessories to air ducts. This type of thread ranges from a core diameter of 1.5mm to 6mm core diameter. Depending on this diameter, these screws are used for sheet thicknesses between 0.8mm – 5mm.
• Wood Thread: Wood thread can be divided into three groups:
• Traditional Wood Thread: Traditional wood thread often requires pre-drilling to prevent splitting. The thread tends to create tension in the wood rather than cutting. This type of thread is also often used in combination with (plastic) plugs.
• Chipboard Thread: Unlike traditional thread, this thread is designed to cut. Generally, this screw has a sharper thread and a smaller core diameter. As a result, the thread has a larger contact area and higher pull-out strength in soft material (chipboard).
• Modern Wood Thread: This type of thread, available in our assortment from Maxxfast, for example, features a mooncut (half-moon cutout) in the first few thread paths. As a result, pre-drilling is not required. The following paths are traditional wood thread. Ridges are often cut at the end to prevent excessive material resistance. Under the head, there are usually several ridges so the head can neatly sink into the material.
• Taptite 2000 Thread: This thread is designed to form internal threading in metal through deformation. This eliminates the need for tapping a drilled hole.
• Reform Thread: This is a unique, asymmetrically shaped thread with a sharp top angle. This causes the thread to push away softer materials (plastics) and accumulate material underneath the thread, resulting in a larger contact area and much higher pull-out strength.
   

A few other types of thread are not specifically for screws. Consider Trapezoidal Thread, used for creating movement. These are often seen in machinery construction and under an adjustable piano stool. Left-hand thread is frequently used in turnbuckles or to secure left-turning components—for example, a right bicycle pedal or a circular saw blade on a shaft.
