Premium Solid Brass Screws - Durable, Decorative & Corrosion-Resistant

Transform your projects with our premium Solid Brass Screws. Combining classic elegance with exceptional functionality, these screws are more than just fasteners – they're a statement of quality and durability. Perfect for applications where both performance and aesthetics are paramount.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Solid Brass Construction: Crafted from high-grade solid brass, ensuring genuine quality and a rich, warm golden hue that deepens beautifully with age (patina). Avoids the flaking and corrosion issues of brass-plated alternatives.
• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Ideal for outdoor, marine, damp environments, or any application where steel screws would rust, stain, or degrade. Protects your valuable projects and maintains integrity over time.
• Elegant Aesthetic: Offers a sophisticated, timeless look, making them perfect for visible fastenings in fine woodworking, antique restoration, decorative hardware, and high-end cabinetry.
• Non-Magnetic Properties: Essential for specific electrical, scientific, or sensitive instrument applications where magnetic interference must be avoided.
• Easy to Work With: While softer than steel, brass allows for smooth driving (with proper pilot holes) and is less likely to splinter delicate wood surfaces when installed correctly.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for a wide range of uses from furniture assembly to boat interiors, electrical fixtures, and architectural details.

Ideal For:

• Fine Furniture & Cabinetry
• Marine & Boat Building (Interior & Exterior)
• Architectural Trim & Moldings
• Antique Restoration & Reproduction
• Decorative Hardware Installation (hinges, latches, pulls)
• Electrical & Scientific Equipment
• Crafts & Hobby Projects
• Any project where a non-corroding, aesthetically pleasing fastener is desired

Product Specifications (Vary by Selection):

To ensure you choose the perfect screw for your needs, please select from the available options. (Note: Specific values for diameter, length, head, and drive type will be presented in product variants/dropdowns.)

• Material: Solid Brass (typically CDA 360 or similar alloy)
• Head Type:
  • Flat Head: Sinks flush with the surface for a smooth finish. Ideal for counter-sunk applications.
  • Pan Head: Slightly domed top with a flat underside. Provides a wider bearing surface and a decorative, raised appearance.
  • Round Head: Fully domed top, offering a classic, decorative look and maximum bearing surface.
  • Oval Head: A decorative head that is a compromise between flat and round, often used with counter-sunk washers.
• Drive Type:
  • Phillips: Cross-shaped recess, widely used for powered driving.
  • Slotted: Single straight slot, traditional and classic for restoration work.
  • Square (Robertson): Square recess, provides excellent torque transmission and reduces cam-out.
  • Torx (Star): Star-shaped recess, offers superior grip and reduces cam-out for high-torque applications.
• Diameter (Gauge): Available in common gauges (e.g., #4, #6, #8, #10, #12) to match your hole size and holding strength requirements.
• Length: Measured from the top of the head (for flat/oval) or under the head (for pan/round) to the tip of the thread. Available in various lengths (e.g., 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1.5", 2").
• Thread Type: Typically Coarse Thread (wood screw type) for excellent grip in timber.
• Finish: Natural Brass (will naturally develop a beautiful, darker patina over time).
• Quantity: Available in convenient packs (e.g., Pack of 10, Pack of 50, Bulk options).

Important Considerations & Installation Tips:

• Pilot Holes are Essential: Due to brass being softer than steel, always drill appropriate pilot holes to prevent stripping the screw head or breaking the screw shank, especially in hardwoods. The pilot hole diameter should match the screw's shank (non-threaded) diameter.
• Lubrication: A little wax or soap on the threads can significantly aid in driving, particularly in dense materials, and reduce the risk of shearing the screw.
• Gentle Driving: Avoid over-tightening. Brass threads can strip more easily than steel, and excessive torque can damage the screw head or the surrounding material. Hand driving is often recommended for precision work.
• Patina: Natural brass will develop a unique, darker patina over time, enhancing its character. If a bright, polished finish is desired, periodic cleaning and polishing may be required.
