F&Q

What Does a Self-Tapping Screw Do?

A self-tapping screw creates its own thread as it is driven into the material. The sharp point and thread design allow the screw to engage with the material during installation, making it suitable for various fastening applications, including door and window hardware.

Do You Need to Pre-Drill for Self-Tapping Screws?

Whether pre-drilling is required depends on the material, screw specification, and application. Some self-tapping screws can form threads directly during installation, while pre-drilling may be used for certain materials or installation requirements.

What Is the Difference Between Self-Tapping Screws and Regular Screws?

What Are the Disadvantages of Self-Tapping Screws?

Why Do They Call Them Self-Tapping Screws?
