Head Design: Button head Tek screws feature a rounded, domed head with a flat top surface. The head is wider and flatter than a traditional pan head, resembling a button, hence the name "button head." This design provides a low-profile appearance and a smooth finish when installed flush with the surface of the material.
Thread Design: Button head Tek screws have self-drilling points and sharp threads designed to cut through metal surfaces without the need for pre-drilling pilot holes. The threads are typically coarse and provide excellent grip and holding power in metal substrates.
Material and Coating: Button head Tek screws are commonly made from hardened steel, stainless steel, or other corrosion-resistant alloys to ensure durability and longevity, especially in outdoor or corrosive environments. They may also be coated with zinc, zinc-nickel, or other protective coatings to enhance corrosion resistance and provide additional lubrication during installation.
Size and Length: Button head Tek screws come in various sizes and lengths to accommodate different material thicknesses and installation requirements. The most common lengths range from 1/2 inch to 3 inches or more, with longer screws used for thicker materials or when attaching to thicker structural members.
Applications: Button head Tek screws are suitable for a wide range of applications where a low-profile, aesthetically pleasing fastening solution is desired. They are commonly used in automotive, construction, furniture assembly, and other industries for attaching metal or plastic components, brackets, panels, and trim pieces.
Installation: To install a button head Tek screw, align the screw with the desired location on the material surface and apply downward pressure while driving the screw using a power drill or screwdriver. The self-drilling point will penetrate the material surface, and the sharp threads will securely fasten the material in place.
