Fastners
Nail
A nail is commonly hammered or shot into a piece of wood, it is one of the most common fasteners .
Wood screw
Generally has an unthreaded portion of the shaft below the head. It is designed to attach two pieces of wood together.
Particle board screw
Similar to a drywall screw except that it has a thinner shaft and provides better resistance to pull-out in particle board, while offset against a lower shear strength.
Wall Mate
Used when fixing to plaster board (Gyprock) framed walls where no timber work is behind.
Self-drilling screw (Teks screw)
Has a drill-shaped point to cut through the wood to eliminate the need for drilling a pilot hole..
Coach bolt
Coach screws are heavy duty screws designed for metal to timber connections, or to join heavy timbers.
Rivet
Riveting is a way of joining metals or some other materials. Rivets are made from malleable metals such as iron, steel, copper, brass, aluminium or aluminium alloys.
Screw eye (eye screw)
Screw with a looped head. Larger ones are sometimes call lag eye screws. Designed to be used as attachment point, particularly for something that is hung from it.
Spring toggle
For fixing to cavity walls and ceilings of low structural strength. Ideal for overhead fixings in plasterboard. Installing overhead lights and other fixtures and electrical fittings on cavity walls.
Batten screw
This screw is well known for its strength and is specified in a lot of applications for this reason. Some of its more common uses are roof trusses, retaining walls, decking etc.
