    These screws mount flush against the outer panel's surface for low-clearance applications. Install in soft material such as aluminum and low-carbon steel with an arbor press or similar pressure tool. Screws become a part of the panel when installed, so they won't fall out and get lost. They're often used with surface mount nuts.
