Premium Solid Brass Screws - Durable, Decorative, Versatile Fasteners

Elevate your projects with our exquisite range of Solid Brass Screws, combining classic aesthetics with robust, reliable performance. Meticulously crafted from high-quality solid brass, these fasteners are a superior choice for a wide array of applications where corrosion resistance, a distinguished appearance, and non-magnetic properties are paramount.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Solid Brass Construction: Made from genuine, solid brass (an alloy of copper and zinc), not just plated. This ensures consistent color throughout, exceptional durability, and the ability to develop a beautiful, natural patina over time.
• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Brass naturally resists rust and corrosion, making these screws ideal for marine environments, outdoor applications, damp conditions, and use with treated lumber where steel fasteners might quickly degrade.
• Timeless Aesthetic Appeal: The warm, golden luster of brass adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any project. Perfect for visible hardware, antique restoration, fine woodworking, and decorative finishes.
• Non-Magnetic Properties: Essential for applications involving sensitive electronics, instrumentation, or environments where magnetic interference must be avoided.
• Excellent Electrical Conductivity: Suitable for electrical grounding, fixture installation, and other applications requiring a conductive fastener.
• Good Workability: While softer than steel, brass is easy to machine and provides a secure, lasting hold when installed correctly.
• Versatile Applications: From intricate woodworking to robust marine installations, our brass screws offer reliability and beauty.

Common Applications:

• Woodworking: Fine furniture, cabinetry, joinery, and decorative accents where appearance matters.
• Marine & Nautical: Boat construction, dock hardware, railings, and fixtures exposed to salt water or high humidity.
• Antique Restoration: Historically accurate fasteners for restoring period furniture, hardware, and architectural elements.
• Electrical Fixtures: Light fixtures, switch plates, and other electrical components requiring non-magnetic or conductive fasteners.
• Architectural Hardware: Door hinges, pulls, latches, and decorative trim.
• Plumbing: Non-potable water applications or where brass fittings are already in use.
• Crafts & Hobbies: Model making, jewelry boxes, and other delicate projects.

Material Spotlight: Why Choose Solid Brass?

Brass, an alloy primarily of copper and zinc, has been valued for centuries for its unique combination of properties. Unlike steel, brass does not rust, making it exceptionally long-lasting in challenging environments. Its inherent beauty, coupled with its resistance to tarnish and corrosion, ensures that your fasteners will maintain their integrity and aesthetic appeal for decades. Over time, brass can develop a rich, protective patina that enhances its antique charm, a desirable characteristic for many restoration and decorative projects.

Important Considerations & Installation Tips:

• Always Use Pilot Holes: Due to brass's softer nature compared to steel, drilling appropriate pilot holes is crucial to prevent the screw from snapping, stripping the head, or damaging the workpiece. The pilot hole should be slightly smaller than the screw's minor diameter (the core of the screw, excluding threads).
• Proper Driver Bit: Use the correct size and type of screwdriver bit (Phillips, Slotted, etc.) that fits snugly into the screw head to prevent cam-out and damage.
• Controlled Torque: Avoid overtightening. Brass screws are designed for secure fastening, but excessive torque can strip the threads or snap the screw. Hand-driving or low-torque settings on power tools are recommended.
• Lubrication (Optional): For very dense hardwoods or deep penetration, a small amount of wax or soap on the screw threads can aid insertion.
• Not for High-Shear/Stress Applications: For structural, high-load, or high-shear force applications, hardened steel or stainless steel screws are generally more appropriate.

Available Sizes & Specifications (Example):

Our solid brass screws are available in a comprehensive range of sizes and head types to suit your specific needs:

• Head Types:
  • Flat Head (Countersunk): Sits flush with the surface for a clean, finished look.
  • Pan Head: Slightly domed head that sits above the surface, offering a larger bearing area.
  • Round Head: Fully rounded, decorative head that stands proud of the surface.
• Drive Types:
  • Phillips Drive: Common cross-recess drive for efficient installation.
  • Slotted Drive: Traditional single-slot drive for classic aesthetics.
• Lengths: From 1/2 inch to 3 inches (12.7mm to 76.2mm)
• Diameters (Gauge): From #4 to #12
