Specialty Self-Drilling Screws for Unique Applications

Not every fastening job fits the standard categories. Specialty self-drilling screws are engineered for unique applications where traditional fasteners fall short. With built-in drill points, these screws cut through steel without the need for pre-drilling, saving time and effort. Whether you’re hanging electrical systems, securing wire lath, or working with other specialty cladding, these screws are built to handle tough and precise jobs.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Purpose-Built Designs: Includes eyelag screws for suspension systems, wire lath screws for stucco and cladding, stitch screws for panel-to-panel fastening, and more.
  • Self-Drilling Tips: Eliminate the need for pre-drilling, even in steel substrates.
  • Specialty Head Styles: Modified truss, pancake, hex washer, and open-eye designs to suit specific applications.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Coatings: Options in zinc, ceramic, or stainless for projects exposed to the elements.
  • Consistent Performance: Engineered for reliability in demanding or repetitive installation work.

Common Applications

  • Suspension & Hanging Systems: Eyelag screws for drop ceilings, HVAC, lighting, and conduit support.
  • Stucco & Wire Lath: Modified truss head screws designed for mesh and lath attachment to steel studs.
  • Panel Stitching: Stitch screws for securing metal panels to each other in roofing and cladding projects.
  • Specialty Cladding: Low-profile head screws for attaching thin materials without surface bulging.

Choosing the Right Specialty Screw

When selecting a specialty self-drilling screw, consider:

  • Application Type: Determine if you’re suspending, cladding, stitching panels, or attaching specialty materials.
  • Head Style: Choose modified truss, pancake, hex washer, or eye lag heads based on your installation needs.
  • Substrate Thickness: Match the drill point length to the gauge of steel you’re fastening into.
  • Corrosion Protection: Select coated or stainless options for outdoor or high-moisture environments.
