Fasteners

Fasteners is a collective term for parts used in all branches of industry, construction and repair to join elements of metal structures, machinery and buildings together.

Fasteners are selected based on design features, dimensions, material, maximum allowable load, and coating type.

FLOK supplies a wide range of standardized fasteners:

• anchors – mechanical and chemical bolts for fastening metal and wood beams, suspended ceilings, light fixtures, and heavy objects to concrete and brick;
• bolts – threaded rods for general or special purpose, used together with a nut and washer to create through-type, quick-release joints;
• screws – threaded cylindrical fasteners for joining two parts, one of which usually has internal thread of the same diameter;
• nails – smooth cylindrical fasteners with a head and a pointed end, used for joining parts made of wood, chipboard, MDF;
• wall plugs – auxiliary parts that allow wood screws or self-tapping screws to be fixed securely in the base material;
• rivets – rod-shaped or tubular fasteners capable of forming permanent joints of metal, plastic, glass, leather and textile materials through mechanical deformation;
• wood screws – a type of screw characterized by widely spaced thread and a pointed end, which forms internal thread in the base material as the screw is driven in;
• self-tapping screws – differ from wood screws in thread profile (greater height and sharper angle), the tip is often made in the shape of a drill bit;
• rigging – clips, thimbles, snap hooks, eye bolts, chains, turnbuckles, hooks for secure connection of lifting equipment structures;
• threaded studs – headless metal threaded rods that can be secured with nuts, anchors, or welding.
