Custom Metal-To-Metal Self Drilling Metal Screws Manufacturers

Self-drilling screws, also known as tek screws, are highly efficient fasteners that integrate drilling, tapping, fixing, and locking into one. The front end of the screw shank features a drill-like cutting edge, which eliminates the need for pre-drilling and allows the screw to be driven directly into materials to complete the connection, drastically simplifying the installation process.

Featuring a practical structure, the drill tail is designed with cutting edges and chip removal flutes, while the threads balance chip evacuation with gripping force; it is also available in various head and drive types to suit different requirements. The installation is highly efficient and convenient, saving cumbersome pre-treatment steps and offering distinct advantages in mass construction. Furthermore, the threads engage tightly for excellent anti-loosening and vibration resistance. Made of carbon steel or stainless steel paired with high-quality coatings, it is rust-resistant and anti-corrosive, making it adaptable to various materials such as thin metal, wood, and plastics.

This product is widely used in construction engineering, furniture manufacturing, mechanical and electrical equipment installation, as well as billboards, vehicle and ship interiors, and other scenarios. Relying on its high efficiency and stability, it has become the preferred choice for high-efficiency fastening in various fields.

Self-drilling Screws Industry knowledge

Self-drilling Screws Manufacturer and Supplier

Anhui Linghong Hardware Technology Co., Ltd. is a professional Self-drilling Screws manufacturer and supplier based in China. We produce a complete range of self-drilling screws, also known as tek screws, that combine drilling, tapping, and fastening in one operation. Our screws eliminate the need for pre-drilling, reducing installation time and labor costs across construction, metal fabrication, and industrial assembly projects.

With over 80 sets of production equipment and a monthly capacity of approximately 500 tons, we supply consistent volumes to distributors, contractors, and OEMs. Our factory follows ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 management systems, and we control quality from incoming wire to final packaging.

Our Self-Drilling Screw Range

We offer self-drilling screws in various materials, head styles, and drive types to match your specific application. The table below summarizes the main categories we manufacture.

Product Type Material Options Typical Applications
Carbon Steel Self-Drilling Screws 1022A, 10B21, with zinc, Dacromet, or Ruspert coatings Metal-to-metal fastening in steel framing, HVAC, and general construction
Stainless Steel Self-Drilling Screws 410, 304, 316 stainless steel Corrosive environments, outdoor structures, marine, and food processing equipment
Bugle Head Self-Drilling Screws Carbon steel or stainless steel Drywall to steel studs, gypsum board, and wood paneling
Hex Head Self-Drilling Screws Carbon steel, stainless steel Structural steel, roofing, and heavy-gauge metal connections
Countersunk Head Self-Drilling Screws Carbon steel, stainless steel Applications requiring a flush finish, such as metal cladding and panels
Pan Head Self-Drilling Screws Carbon steel, stainless steel General sheet metal, electrical boxes, and light fabrication
Wafer Head Self-Drilling Screws Carbon steel, stainless steel Roofing and cladding where a larger bearing surface is needed
Button Head Self-Drilling Screws Carbon steel, stainless steel Low-profile fastening in automotive, appliances, and furniture

Application Fit and Material Selection

Self-drilling screws are designed for metal-to-metal fastening, but they also work well in wood and some plastics. The drill point creates its own hole, so you can drive them directly into steel up to 6 mm thick (for carbon steel) without pre-drilling. For thicker or harder steel, we recommend pre-drilling or using a screw with a larger drill capacity.

  • Carbon steel screws are cost-effective and offer high strength (tensile ≥450 MPa). They suit indoor applications and are available with zinc, yellow zinc, blue painted, or Dacromet coatings for corrosion resistance.
  • Stainless steel screws (410, 304, 316) provide superior corrosion resistance for outdoor, marine, or chemical environments. Grade 410 is magnetic and hardenable; 304 and 316 are austenitic with higher corrosion resistance.
  • Head style affects the finished appearance and load distribution. Hex heads allow higher torque, while bugle heads prevent surface damage on drywall. Countersunk heads provide a flush finish.

Critical Specifications and Performance

We manufacture self-drilling screws in nominal diameters from ST2.9 to ST6.3, with lengths tailored to your joint thickness. Our screws undergo cold heading, carburizing, and quenching to achieve a balance of hardness and toughness. The drill point is sharp and wear-resistant, and the threads are designed for chip evacuation and strong engagement.

For demanding applications, we can supply screws with reduced shank, wings for wood-to-metal connections, or EPDM washers for weatherproof sealing. We also offer various drive types—Phillips, Pozidriv, square, hex, and Torx—to match your installation tools.

Quality Assurance and Testing

Our quality team performs first-piece inspection, in-process patrol inspection, and final ex-factory inspection. We use precision instruments such as metallographic polishing machines and Rockwell hardness testers to verify hardness, case depth, and coating thickness. Each batch is traceable, and we provide material certificates and test reports upon request.

We are certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001, reflecting our commitment to quality, environmental, and occupational health standards. Our export experience includes regular shipments to Australia, Europe, and Japan, ensuring our packaging and documentation meet international requirements.

Customization and Project Support

As a factory, we support custom specifications, including non-standard lengths, special head designs, custom coatings, and private labeling. Our engineering team works with you to confirm the correct drill point, thread pitch, and hardness for your substrate. We can also provide samples for testing before mass production.

For large projects, we coordinate production schedules to meet your delivery deadlines. Our monthly capacity of 500 tons allows us to handle both container orders and smaller batch requirements efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can self-drilling screws be used in wood?
Yes, they can be driven into wood without pre-drilling, but for wood-to-metal connections, screws with wings help prevent wood splitting and improve drilling performance.

Q: What is the maximum steel thickness you can drill?
Our standard carbon steel self-drilling screws can drill through steel up to 6 mm thick. For thicker materials, we recommend using a screw with a larger drill point or pre-drilling.

Q: Do you offer stainless steel self-drilling screws with a passivated finish?
Yes, we can supply stainless steel screws in grades 410, 304, and 316, with or without additional passivation or coatings, depending on your corrosion resistance requirements.

Q: What is the typical lead time for a container order?
Lead time depends on the specification and quantity. For standard sizes, we can often ship within 2-3 weeks after order confirmation. Custom items may require additional time for tooling and production.

Q: Can you provide samples before mass production?
Yes, we offer samples for pre-production testing. Please contact us with your requirements, and we will arrange sample delivery.
