Carbon Steel Drywall Screws: Precision Fasteners for Modern Construction
As a dedicated Carbon Steel Drywall Screws manufacturer, Anhui Linghong Hardware Technology Co., Ltd. produces a comprehensive range of fasteners engineered for gypsum board installation, metal stud framing, and interior finishing. Our screws are manufactured from high-grade carbon steel (e.g., C1022A) and undergo heat treatment and surface finishing to deliver consistent hardness, corrosion resistance, and reliable self-tapping performance.
We supply drywall screws in multiple configurations—including bugle head, self-drilling, and framing screws—to meet the demands of residential, commercial, and industrial projects. With over 80 sets of production equipment and a stable monthly capacity of 500 tons, we support both standard catalog orders and custom OEM requirements.

Application Fit and Material Considerations
Choosing the correct drywall screw depends on the substrate and the required holding strength. Our fine-thread screws are optimized for metal studs, where they engage the thin steel without causing stripping. Coarse-thread screws are better suited for wood studs, as they provide a stronger grip and reduce the risk of splitting the wood.
All our carbon steel drywall screws are case-hardened to achieve a surface hardness that penetrates drywall and framing materials efficiently. The bugle head design allows the screw to seat flush with the board surface, minimizing paper tear and creating a smooth finish for joint compound application.
Critical Specifications and Quality Control
We manufacture drywall screws in common sizes such as #6 (3.5mm), #8 (4.2mm), and #10 (4.8mm), with lengths ranging from 25mm to 75mm. Our quality management team uses precision instruments, including metallographic polishing machines and Rockwell hardness testers, to verify case depth, core hardness, and surface finish. Each batch undergoes first-piece inspection, in-process patrol checks, and final ex-factory testing to ensure compliance with ISO 9001 standards.
Surface treatments include black phosphate, yellow zinc plating, and Cr6-free zinc plating, providing corrosion resistance suitable for interior environments. For projects requiring higher durability, we can also supply stainless steel drywall screws—see our Stainless Steel/Stainless Iron Drywall Screws range.
Configuration Options and Customization
We understand that each project may have unique requirements. We offer customization in terms of:
- Head type: Bugle, flat, or modified truss head
- Drive system: Phillips #2, square, or Torx
- Thread form: Single-lead coarse, twinfast fine, or high-low thread for specific substrates
- Point style: Sharp point for wood, drill point for steel
- Surface finish: Phosphate, zinc, or other coatings as specified
Our engineering team works with you to define the exact geometry and performance characteristics needed for your application, ensuring the screws install efficiently and hold securely.
Automation and Installation Efficiency
For high-volume installation, we supply screws in collated strips or coils compatible with automatic screw feeders and drywall screw guns. Our collated options are available in both paper and plastic strips, and we can package them to match your tooling specifications. This integration reduces installation time and labor costs on large-scale projects.
Packaging and Delivery
We package drywall screws in sturdy cartons, with options for bulk boxes, retail-ready packaging, or custom labeling. Our export experience ensures that shipments are properly protected for ocean freight, and we coordinate logistics to meet your project timeline. With monthly exports of 40-50 containers to Australia and additional shipments to Europe and Japan, we have proven capability in international delivery.
Information We Use to Configure Your Solution
To prepare an accurate quotation and sample, please provide the following details:
- Substrate type (wood stud, steel stud, or other)
- Board thickness and total material thickness
- Required screw size (diameter and length)
- Head style and drive type
- Surface finish preference
- Quantity per order and packaging requirements
- Any applicable standards or certifications
With this information, we can recommend the optimal screw configuration and provide a detailed proposal tailored to your project.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between coarse and fine thread drywall screws?
Coarse thread screws are designed for wood studs; they have a wider thread pitch that grips wood fibers firmly. Fine thread screws are for metal studs; their tighter pitch allows them to bite into thin steel without slipping.
Can you provide custom lengths or head types?
Yes, we offer customization on length, head type, drive, and finish. Provide your specifications, and we will produce screws to match your requirements.
What surface treatments are available?
We offer black phosphate, yellow zinc, and Cr6-free zinc plating. Each provides corrosion resistance suitable for interior drywall applications.
Do you supply collated screws for automatic tools?
Yes, we can supply screws in collated strips or coils compatible with common drywall screw guns and auto-feed systems.
How do you ensure quality consistency in large orders?
Our quality system includes first-piece inspection, in-process checks, and final testing using Rockwell hardness testers and metallographic equipment. We also hold ISO 9001 certification.
