Elevate your projects with the enduring elegance and superior performance of our Solid Brass Screws. Crafted from high-quality brass alloy, these fasteners offer a perfect blend of timeless aesthetics, exceptional durability, and outstanding resistance to corrosion, making them the ideal choice where both function and beauty are paramount.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Unlike steel, brass naturally resists rust and corrosion, making these screws perfect for outdoor, marine, humid, or high-moisture environments without degradation or unsightly staining.
• Timeless Aesthetic Appeal: The distinctive golden luster of brass adds a touch of classic sophistication and warmth to any project. Ideal for visible applications where appearance matters, such as fine furniture, antique restoration, or decorative hardware.
• Superior Durability: Made from solid brass, these screws are robust and provide a secure, long-lasting hold, ensuring the integrity and longevity of your assembled pieces.
• Non-Magnetic Properties: Essential for applications involving sensitive electronics, instrumentation, or magnetic fields where ferrous materials could interfere.
• Excellent Electrical Conductivity: While primarily used for fastening, brass offers good electrical conductivity, making it suitable for certain electrical fixtures and components.
• Workability: Brass is a softer metal than steel, allowing for easier driving and less risk of damaging delicate materials. (Pre-drilling is still recommended for hardwoods).
• Versatile Applications: From intricate woodworking to robust marine installations, brass screws provide reliable fastening for a diverse range of projects.

Common Applications:

• Fine Woodworking & Cabinetry: Securely fasten hinges, drawer pulls, and other hardware to create stunning, durable pieces.
• Marine & Boat Building: Essential for saltwater environments where rust-proof fasteners are critical for longevity and safety.
• Antique Restoration: Preserve authenticity and functionality when restoring vintage furniture, hardware, or collectibles.
• Decorative Hardware: Ideal for visible applications on latches, handles, escutcheons, and more, adding a touch of class.
• Electrical Fixtures: Secure light fixtures, switch plates, and other electrical components with a non-magnetic and conductive option.
• Outdoor & Humid Environments: From garden furniture to bathroom fixtures, brass stands up to the elements.
• Crafts & Hobby Projects: Perfect for adding a premium finish to bespoke creations.

Available Types & Specifications:

Our extensive range of solid brass screws caters to diverse project requirements. While specific dimensions vary by product, common features include:

• Material: Solid Brass Alloy (e.g., C27000, C26000)
• Finish: Natural Polished Brass (may age gracefully into a rich patina over time if left unlacquered)
• Head Types:
  • Flat Head (Countersunk): Sits flush with the surface for a smooth finish.
  • Round Head: Decorative, creates a domed profile above the surface.
  • Pan Head: Slightly domed with a flat bearing surface for a broad clamping area.
  • Oval Head: Decorative, slightly raised and rounded for a finished look.
• Drive Types:
  • Slotted: Classic, traditional drive.
  • Phillips: Cross-head drive for increased torque and reduced cam-out.
  • Square (Robertson): Excellent resistance to cam-out, preferred by many woodworkers.
  • Torx (Star Drive): Offers superior torque transfer and reduced stripping.
• Thread Types:
  • Wood Screws: Coarse threads designed for optimal grip in wood and soft materials.
  • Machine Screws: Fine threads for securing into pre-tapped holes in metal or with nuts.
• Sizes: Available in a comprehensive range of gauges (diameter) and lengths to suit any application.

Important Considerations:

• Pre-Drilling: Always pre-drill pilot holes, especially when working with hardwoods or larger screws, to prevent splitting the wood or shearing the screw head.
• Proper Driver: Use the correct size and type of screwdriver bit to ensure full engagement and prevent stripping the drive recess.
• Patina: Brass naturally develops a beautiful patina over time. If a bright, polished finish is desired, periodic cleaning and polishing may be required, or choose a lacquered finish (if available).
