Hillman Zinc-Plated Carbon Steel Double-End Dowel Screws 5/16 x 2-1/2-Inch
Hillman Zinc-Plated Carbon Steel Double-End Dowel Screws 5/16 x 2-1/2-Inch
Hillman Dowel Screws create a strong, concealed connection between two pieces of wood. Sized at a 5/16 by 2-1/2 inch size, this double- ended screw has no head at all, so once installed nothing shows on the finished piece, which makes it the go-to fastener for attaching furniture legs, knobs, and finials and for hidden wood-to-wood joints. Pointed wood- screw threads run on both ends of the screw. You drive one end into a pilot hole in the first piece of wood, often gripping the middle with pliers or locking two nuts together to turn it, then thread the second piece onto the exposed end. As it turns, both ends bite in and pull the two pieces firmly together. Made from steel with a protective zinc plating, the dowel screw resists rust and corrosion for dependable indoor use. It keeps a firm grip in the wood while staying completely hidden inside the finished joint, so the connection stays tight and clean without any visible or protruding hardware to detract from the finished piece. Use these screws for attaching furniture legs, knobs, finials, and spindles, and for concealed wood-to-wood joints in cabinetry, furniture building, and repairs where no visible fastener is wanted. This pack provides a handy, ready supply for furniture, cabinetry, and woodworking projects around the home and shop. From the Manufacturer Dowel Screws are threaded with wood screw on both ends or machine screw on one end and wood screw on the other. They are frequently found in furniture. The center is un-threaded which is easily tightened with a pair of locking pliers.
