Our premium solid brass wood screws are more than just fasteners; they are a statement of quality and a nod to classic craftsmanship. Designed for durability, beauty, and long-lasting performance, these screws provide the perfect blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal for a wide range of applications.
Product Overview
Crafted from genuine solid brass, these screws offer exceptional corrosion resistance, a warm, inviting finish, and a non-magnetic property that makes them ideal for specific uses. Whether you're restoring antique furniture, building custom cabinetry, or working on marine projects, our brass screws ensure a secure hold and an exquisite touch that only real brass can provide.
Key Features & Benefits
- Genuine Solid Brass Construction: Unlike plated alternatives, our screws are made from 100% solid brass, ensuring consistent color throughout, superior durability, and the ability to be polished or aged naturally over time without chipping or flaking.
- Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Brass naturally resists rust and corrosion, making these screws an excellent choice for indoor and outdoor applications, especially in humid environments, marine settings, or areas exposed to mild chemicals.
- Timeless Aesthetic Appeal: The warm, golden hue of brass adds a touch of classic elegance and sophistication to any project. Perfect for visible applications where appearance matters.
- Non-Magnetic Properties: Ideal for specific electrical, laboratory, or sensitive instrument applications where magnetic interference must be avoided.
- Good Electrical Conductivity: While primarily used as fasteners, brass's conductive properties can be beneficial in certain electrical fixture applications.
- Durable & Long-Lasting: Designed for strength and longevity, these screws will maintain their integrity and appearance for years to come.
Ideal Applications
- Fine Woodworking & Furniture: Attach hinges, handles, decorative trim, or join components in high-end furniture, cabinets, and custom millwork.
- Marine & Boat Building: Excellent for boat interiors, deck fittings, and other applications where saltwater corrosion resistance is paramount.
- Antique Restoration: Perfect for authentically repairing or replicating period pieces, blending seamlessly with existing brass hardware.
- Electrical Fixtures: Secure switch plates, outlet covers, lamp bases, and other decorative electrical components.
- Crafts & Hobby Projects: Add a professional and refined finish to jewelry boxes, picture frames, and various decorative crafts.

Installation Tips for Brass Screws
- Always Drill a Pilot Hole: Brass is softer than steel and can snap if over-torqued without adequate pilot holes. Ensure the pilot hole diameter is appropriate for the screw's shank and threads.
- Consider Lubrication: A touch of wax or soap on the threads can significantly reduce friction and prevent snapping, especially in hardwoods.
- Use the Correct Driver: A properly sized Phillips or slotted screwdriver bit is crucial to prevent stripping the screw head.
- Avoid Over-Tightening: Apply gentle, consistent pressure. Brass screws do not require the same torque as steel.
