Galvanised Stainless Eye Screws Hooks Eye Bolts Closed Screws Threaded Rings Set

Galvanized carbon steel is suitable for dry indoor environments and sheltered outdoor use where the zinc coating provides adequate corrosion protection. A2 stainless steel is the better choice for permanently wet, marine-adjacent, or chemically exposed environments where zinc coatings would degrade over time. If in doubt and the application is outdoors or near moisture, choose stainless.

Working load limits vary by thread diameter, shank length, material grade, and installation method (axial vs. angular loading). Smaller diameters such as M2–M3 are suited to light-duty cable management and decorative hanging, while M8–M12 sizes are appropriate for structural rigging and heavier loads. For safety-critical applications, consult a structural engineer and verify load ratings against your specific installation conditions.

These are threaded fasteners designed for use in pre-tapped metal holes or with matching metric nuts. For wood installation, a pilot hole sized to the shank diameter (not the thread OD) allows the threads to bite into the wood fiber — though wood-specific eye screws with coarser wood-thread profiles are generally preferred for that application. For concrete or masonry, a suitable anchor insert is required first.

Use a thread pitch gauge or compare against a known fastener. Standard ISO metric coarse pitches are: M2 = 0.4 mm, M2.5 = 0.45 mm (note: M2.5 variants here use 0.4 mm — confirm before ordering), M3 = 0.5 mm, M4 = 0.7 mm, M5 = 0.8 mm, M6 = 1.0 mm, M8 = 1.25 mm, M10 = 1.5 mm, M12 = 1.75 mm. Each variant listing shows the exact pitch — always verify before purchase.

Eye screws and eye bolts can be used for overhead suspension when correctly sized, fully threaded into a load-rated anchor point, and loaded within their rated capacity. The closed-ring design prevents the attached hardware from slipping off. For overhead use, always apply a thread-locking compound or use a locking nut on the back side of the material, and never exceed the rated working load.

In this range, "eye screw" typically refers to shorter shanks intended to be threaded directly into a tapped hole or material, while "eye bolt" refers to longer shanks designed to pass through a material and be secured with a nut on the reverse side. Both share the same closed-ring head. The appropriate type depends on your material thickness and whether you have access to both sides of the mounting surface.

Pack sizes of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 30 pieces are available depending on the size selected. For small repairs or single anchor points, a pack of 1 or 2 is sufficient. For cable management runs, shelving systems, or workshop rigging with multiple attachment points, packs of 10–30 reduce per-unit cost. Select the size and pack quantity combination from the variant dropdowns above.
