Flathead Screws

Find the best flathead screws for your project

By Mary Yamin-Garone
When it comes to screws, flathead screws are the most widely used. A flathead screw is the fastener-of-choice for everything from general construction projects to joining small hinges and making furniture.

You’ll find flathead screws on the shelves of every local hardware store, but if you are looking for specialty flathead screws or flat head fasteners, like a metric flathead screw or flathead pickguard screws, you may have to expand your search. Some things to keep in mind when searching for flat head screws or flat head fasteners:

1. Flathead screw dimensions vary in size, length and width. Your particular project dictates which flat head screw is best for the job.

2. Flathead screw comparison guides are available that compare screw heads, threads and sizes for indoor and outdoor use.

3. You can purchase stainless flat head screws, flathead wood screws, a flathead machine screw, a metric flathead screw or industrial flathead screws in small quantities or in bulk.

 

Purchase flathead screws made for your particular job

For outdoor projects, use stainless flat head screws that won't rust. A flathead machine screw works best for joining metal and flathead wood screws are best for working with sheetrock.
Try: Purchase a flathead machine screw or stainless flat head screws at Nuts and Bolts. If you are in the market for a flathead machine screw or flathead wood screws, Grainger offers a diverse selection in a variety of sizes. Jamestown Distributors is a wholesale building supplier, who also specializes in marine fasteners and other construction materials.

Order flathead screws and flat head fasteners directly from flat head screw suppliers

Just about every type of flathead screw and flat head fasteners can be found online from a flathead machine screw, flathead woods screws and a metric flathead screw to a flathead cap screw, industrial flathead screws and stainless flat head screws.
Try: McFeely's is the best source for all types of flathead screws and flat head fasteners.

Search out flat head screw suppliers or a flat head screw manufacturer who sells in bulk

Many flat head screw vendors offer their customers better deals if they buy in bulk or larger-than-average quantities.
Try: You can buy items, such as a flathead cap screw, at an attractive price if you purchase them by the carton from Aaron's General Store. Prices rise dramatically when you order less than 1,000 items. Buy a single flathead machine screw or a box of 100 or 1,000 at BoltDepot. The more flathead screws you order the lower the price.
