Sheet Metal Screws
Sheet Metal Screws are self-tapping fasteners designed with sharp threads that cut directly into sheet metal, plastics, and thin materials. Unlike machine screws, which require pre-tapped holes, sheet metal screws create their own threads during installation, providing secure fastening in lightweight and thin substrates.
Modern sheet metal screws are made from stainless steel, carbon steel, and coated alloys to ensure durability, corrosion resistance, and strength. They are available in pan head, flat head, hex washer head, and truss head designs, offering versatility for structural and decorative applications. Drive types include Phillips, slotted, and hex for torque efficiency.
The self-tapping design eliminates the need for pre-threading, reducing installation time and making them highly efficient for production and repair tasks. Many versions feature sharp Type A or B points, while self-drilling (Tek) screws include a drill point for direct penetration without pre-drilling.
Applications include HVAC systems, automotive body panels, roofing, enclosures, and appliances. In Pakistan, sheet metal screws are widely used by contractors, electricians, and repair technicians for their versatility and fast installation.
Performance depends on selecting the correct head type, material, and point style for the substrate. Stainless steel is ideal for outdoor conditions, while carbon steel offers cost-effective strength for indoor applications.
