Hex Head Wood Screws Manufacturer and Supplier
Anhui Linghong Hardware Technology Co., Ltd. is a professional Hex Head Wood Screws manufacturer and supplier based in China. With over 20 years of fastener industry experience and a modern production base in Anhui, we supply heavy-duty hex head wood screws designed for demanding timber connections. Our range includes T17 external hex head self-tapping screws and hex head wood screws with EPDM washers, available in carbon steel, stainless steel, and various coatings to suit outdoor and structural applications.
Our factory operates more than 80 sets of production equipment with a stable monthly capacity of 500 tons, ensuring consistent supply for large-scale projects. We control every step from raw material to finished product, with in-house quality testing using metallographic polishing machines and Rockwell hardness testers.
Product Range and Applications
Hex head wood screws, conforming to GB 102 and DIN 571 standards, are engineered for heavy-duty fastening in wood. The external hex head allows high-torque driving with wrenches or impact drivers, while the integrated flange distributes load to prevent wood crushing. Our range includes:
- T17 External Hex Head Self-Tapping Screw – with sharp point for direct driving into timber, ideal for structural connections.
- TG-T17 with EPDM Washer – provides a weatherproof seal, suitable for roofing and outdoor applications.
- Hex Head Wood Screws with various coatings – zinc-plated, hot-dip galvanized, or stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
These screws are widely used in log cabins, wooden beams, decking, fencing, and load-bearing timber structures. They offer superior holding power compared to conventional wood screws, making them the preferred choice for heavy-duty projects.
Material and Coating Options
We supply hex head wood screws in materials selected for the service environment:
| Material |
Coating |
Typical Application |
| Carbon Steel (e.g., C1022) |
Zinc Plated (Z/Y) |
Interior dry wood, furniture |
| Carbon Steel |
Hot-Dip Galvanized |
Outdoor decks, fences |
| Stainless Steel (e.g., 304/316) |
None |
Marine, high-humidity environments |
For treated lumber, we recommend stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized to resist corrosive chemicals. Our team can advise on the best material for your specific wood treatment and exposure conditions.
Critical Specifications and Performance
Our hex head wood screws are manufactured to precise dimensions and performance criteria:
- Head Type: External hex, cold-headed for high strength.
- Thread: Coarse thread with large pitch for maximum grip in wood.
- Point: Sharp self-tapping point for easy penetration.
- Hardness: Controlled to ensure proper case depth without brittleness.
- Corrosion Resistance: Tested per coating specification.
We perform first-piece inspection, in-process checks, and final ex-factory testing to ensure each batch meets your requirements. Our quality team uses Rockwell hardness testers and metallographic analysis to verify material properties.
Configuration and Customization
We offer extensive customization to match your project needs:
- Diameter and Length: Common sizes like 12-11 x 25 to 150 mm, but we can produce custom dimensions.
- Drive Type: Hex head, but we can also add Phillips or Torx recess if needed.
- Washer Options: EPDM bonded washers for sealing applications.
- Packaging: Bulk boxes, retail packs, or collated strips for automated driving.
Whether you need a standard size or a unique specification, our engineering team works with you to develop the right product. We also support private labeling and custom packaging.
Quality Assurance and Compliance
Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001. We maintain strict control over incoming raw materials, production processes, and final inspection. Each batch is traceable, and we provide test certificates upon request. Our in-house laboratory is equipped with precision instruments to verify hardness, coating thickness, and dimensional accuracy.
Information We Use to Configure Your Solution
To prepare an accurate quotation and sample, please provide the following details:
- Diameter, length, and thread pitch
- Material and coating requirements
- Application (e.g., outdoor decking, structural timber)
- Quantity and packaging preference
- Any relevant standards (e.g., DIN 571, GB 102)
With this information, we can recommend the most cost-effective solution and provide samples for testing before mass production.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between hex head wood screws and regular wood screws?
Hex head wood screws have an external hexagonal head that allows higher torque application with wrenches or impact drivers, making them suitable for heavy-duty structural connections. Regular wood screws often have Phillips or slotted heads and are for lighter applications.
Can you provide screws with EPDM washers for waterproofing?
Yes, we offer TG-T17 hex head screws with pre-assembled EPDM washers. These are ideal for roofing and outdoor applications where a weather-tight seal is required.
What materials are available for outdoor use?
For outdoor exposure, we recommend hot-dip galvanized carbon steel or stainless steel (304/316). These provide excellent corrosion resistance in humid or coastal environments.
Do you support custom sizes and packaging?
Absolutely. We can manufacture custom diameters, lengths, and thread configurations. Packaging can be tailored to your requirements, including bulk cartons, poly bags, or collated strips.
How do you ensure quality consistency for large orders?
We follow a strict quality control process: first-piece inspection, in-process patrol checks, and final ex-factory testing. Our quality team uses calibrated instruments to verify dimensions and hardness, ensuring every batch meets your specifications.
