Self Tapping Screws | 304/316 Stainless Steel Factory Direct Bulk Supply
For buyers that stock or assemble with self-tapping screws on a regular basis, consistent thread quality, stable size tolerance and reliable delivery matter more than overstated marketing words. As a China-based fastener factory with years of production experience, we focus on making practical, cost-effective self-tapping screws that fit real-world assembly needs. Most standard sizes are kept in our warehouse for fast dispatch, and we also take custom orders for non-standard specifications.
Self-tapping screws cut matching internal threads as they are driven into pre-drilled holes, which cuts out the separate tapping step and speeds up assembly work. They work on most common base materials without cracking the substrate, which is why they are used across almost every light industry and construction scenario. We adjust thread shape and tip design based on the target material — for example, trilobular thread for plastic parts, sharp point for wood, flat tail for thin sheet metal — to get better fastening performance.
▼ Available head & drive types
We keep all mainstream styles in stock, and can produce custom head shapes based on your drawings:
- ▶Pan head: Our best-selling style, with a rounded low-profile head and large bearing surface. Most often used for electronics housings, home appliances and general furniture assembly. We supply Phillips, Torx and slotted drive versions, including tamper-proof security designs.
- ▶Flat (countersunk) head: Sits flush with the material surface for a clean finish. A standard choice for cabinet doors, decorative panels and frames where a smooth surface is required.
- ▶Hex head: Six-sided head that works with regular wrenches, delivers higher tightening torque. Commonly ordered for roofing, sheet metal construction, outdoor brackets and wood projects.
- ▶We also carry button head, wafer head and truss head options for thin materials, plastic assemblies and visible surface applications.
▼ Materials & surface finishes
Three base materials with multiple finish options to match different environments and budgets:
- ■Stainless Steel (304 / 316): The go-to choice for outdoor and humid environments. Our 304 grade passes 120 hours of neutral salt spray testing for general outdoor use; 316 grade holds up over 200 hours, suitable for coastal and marine projects.
- ■Carbon Steel: High tensile strength, budget-friendly for indoor use. Finishes include blue white zinc (48h salt spray), color zinc (72h), black oxide, black zinc, nickel plating and galvanizing.
- ■Brass: Non-magnetic with good conductivity, mostly used for electrical connections, lighting fixtures and decorative furniture.
▼ Size range
We cover both metric and imperial sizes to fit global market standards:
- ▶Metric: M1.2, M2, M2.2, M2.5, M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, lengths from 3mm to 120mm. M3, M4 and M6 are our fastest-moving sizes and always in stock.
