Dowel Screws
Dowel Screws, also known as Hanger Bolts, are versatile double-ended fasteners designed to create secure connections between wooden components and metal fittings. Featuring a wood screw thread on one end and a metric machine thread on the other, these fasteners provide a practical solution for applications requiring a strong, reliable fixing point in timber.
Manufactured from A2 Stainless Steel, our Dowel Screws offer excellent corrosion resistance, making them suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications. Available in various metric thread sizes and lengths, they are commonly used in furniture assembly, timber construction and general engineering applications.
What are Dowel Screws?
Dowel Screws, or Hanger Bolts, feature two different thread types on a single fastener. The coarse wood screw thread is designed to anchor securely into timber, while the metric machine thread allows nuts, threaded fittings or other components to be attached.
This dual-thread design makes them particularly useful for creating removable connections between wooden structures and metal components, without the need for additional threaded inserts.
