Steel Low-Profile Rivet Nuts
These steel low-profile rivet nuts are about twice as strong as aluminum rivet nuts. They have a low profile for light duty fastening in low-clearance applications. A cadmium or tin-zinc plating provides corrosion resistance and adds lubricity so they collapse smoothly. The threaded portion is drawn into the sleeve when installed, creating pressure against the hole to secure the nut. Drill bit size listed in the table is for material with a 0.030"-0.090" thickness. These rivet nuts may be installed in thicker material, but may require larger holes. Install them using a hand- or power-driven rivet nut tool. Length is measured from under the flange. Installed length is the maximum length of the barrel when installed.

Steel Low-Profile Rivet Nuts with Installation Tool
Everything you need to add threads to sheet metal in low-clearance areas. Along with low-profile rivet nuts, these kits include mandrels and an installation tool. As you install these nuts, the threaded portion is drawn into the sleeve, reducing how far they stick out the back of your material. They also have a flange that’s half as thick as those on other rivet nuts, so they have a low profile on both sides of your panel. A tin-zinc plating protects from rust in wet environments and reduces friction, so they collapse smoothly. These rivet nuts create permanent threads in surfaces that are too thin to be tapped. Installation requires access to just one side of your material. The flange distributes the load and holds them against the surface.
To install, thread a rivet nut onto the mandrel, insert the nut into a drilled or punched round hole, push down on the tool's T-handle, and turn clockwise.

18-8 Stainless Steel Binding Barrels and Screws for Door Hardware
Made from 18-8 stainless steel, these binding barrels and screws are chemical resistant and may be mildly magnetic. Use them to anchor door closers, kickplates, and other architectural hardware. The barrel head is smooth with no drive to be tampered with on the outside of your door, and the screw has a flat head that sits flush with the surface for a finished look. The screw protrudes from the barrel to leave room for hardware. Install in a hole with a diameter equal to the barrel diameter. Barrel length and screw length are measured from under the head.

Brass Binding Barrels and Screws for Door Hardware
Brass binding barrels and screws are corrosion resistant in wet environments, electrically conductive, and nonmagnetic. Use them to anchor door closers, kickplates, and other architectural hardware. The barrel head is smooth with no drive to be tampered with on the outside of your door, and the screw has a flat head that sits flush with the surface for a finished look. The screw protrudes from the barrel to leave room for hardware. Install in a hole with a diameter equal to the barrel diameter. Barrel length and screw length are measured from under the head.

Hand-Driven Tools for Low-Profile Rivet Nuts
Turn these tools by hand to install low-profile rivet nuts. The required mandrels are sold separately. To use, thread the nut onto a mandrel of the same size, then place it into a hole, push down on the tool's T-handle, and turn clockwise.
