What Are Blind Screws?

A blind screw is a type of fastener designed for applications where access to the back side of the assembly is limited or impossible. These Screws provide secure, reliable connections in electronics, automotive, construction, and industrial equipment. Custom blind Screws allow for tailored sizes, materials, and finishes to meet specific engineering requirements, ensuring maximum stability in precision assemblies.

Blind Screws

Blind Screw Manufacturing Process

Our blind screw manufacturing process ensures high-quality and durable Fasteners:

  1. Material Selection – Stainless steel, aluminum, alloy steel, or zinc-plated steel is chosen based on strength, corrosion resistance, and application environment.

  2. Cold Heading & Thread Rolling – Screws are formed and threaded with high precision to meet tight tolerances.

  3. Drilling & Countersinking (if needed) – Adds holes or countersinks for specialized applications such as electronics or automotive assemblies.

  4. Heat Treatment – Alloy steel screws undergo heat treatment for improved hardness and strength.

  5. Surface Finishing – Options include zinc plating, black oxide, anodizing, or passivation to enhance corrosion resistance.

  6. Quality Inspection – Dimensional checks, thread accuracy, and mechanical strength tests ensure consistent performance.


Features & Advantages of Blind Screws

  • Secure Connection – Ideal for assemblies where back access is not possible.

  • Precision Fit – Tight tolerances ensure smooth installation and stable fastening.

  • Corrosion Resistance – Stainless steel and plated finishes protect against rust and wear.

  • Customizable Options – Available in various diameters, lengths, threads, and head types.

  • Versatility – Suitable for electronics, automotive applications, industrial machinery, and construction projects.

  • Easy Installation – Designed for quick assembly in confined spaces.

Compared with standard screws, our blind screws offer superior strength, precision, and corrosion protection, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding applications.


Material Selection

  • Stainless Steel (304, 316) – Excellent for corrosion resistance and durability, suitable for outdoor or marine environments.

  • Aluminum – Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, ideal for electronics and aerospace applications.

  • Alloy Steel – High-strength screws for heavy-duty machinery and automotive use.

  • Zinc-Plated Steel – Cost-effective corrosion protection for general applications.
