Self Drilling Screws
Typically characterized by a drill-shaped point, self-drilling screws are an industrial solution used for various fastening and fixing applications. The point design allows for an efficient fastening process by eliminating the need for a pilot hole. Self-drilling screws come in multiple sizes, materials, lengths, and thicknesses. Sometimes referred to as Tek screws, popularized by the manufacturer’s brand name, it is now synonymous with self-drilling screws.
Commonly used for fastening two types of materials together, industrial self-drilling screws offer a time and cost-saving solution for large-scale projects. Self-drilling screws are used for metal, wood, and plastic applications in varied industries, including:- Construction
- Automotive Manufacturing
- Industrial Metalworking
- Woodworking
- Electrical
- HVAC
- Marine Crafting/Manufacturing
- Aerospace Crafting

Advantages & Features of Self-Drilling Screws
Since self-drilling screws negate the need for a pre-drilled hole, they offer efficiency benefits such as faster installation, reduced labor costs, and improved productivity. Their ability to drill into the material without a pilot hole makes them ideal for hard-to-reach areas like ceilings. They also provide a more secure hold than traditional screws.Depending on the job’s requirements, industrial self-drilling screws are available in different materials, primarily steel or stainless steel. Other finishes are also available, including zinc clear. Tek screws are crafted for reliability and durability. There are variations in style to meet a range of needs. Unobtrusive fixing requires a low-profile option, but countersunk options are also available with and without wings. Self-drilling screw designs that include wings are engineered to enlarge the hole in heavy-duty materials, providing an easier path for the screw and its threads.
