❓ Frequently Asked Questions – M2.5 Knurled Thumb Screws
1. How do I measure the length of a knurled thumb screw?
The length is measured from the underside of the head (where the knurling meets the stud) to the tip of the threaded shaft. The head itself is NOT included. For example, an “M2.5 x 8mm” screw has an 8mm long threaded stud under the head. Select your required stud length from the dropdown.
2. Are these screws fully threaded?
Yes – all M2.5 screws in this range are fully threaded from under the head to the tip, giving you maximum grip in tapped holes or when using a nut.
3. Will the black or silver finish rust? Can I use these outdoors?
These are carbon steel with a protective plating (zinc/nickel) for moderate corrosion resistance – suitable for indoor use and occasional light outdoor exposure. For continuous outdoor or marine environments, we recommend stainless steel thumb screws.
4. Do I need a nut or washer with these thumb screws?
If your equipment has a pre‑tapped M2.5 hole, no nut is needed. For plain holes, use a standard M2.5 metric nut. A flat washer is optional for load distribution.
5. What is the difference between black and silver finish?
The black finish is typically black zinc or black oxide; the silver finish is bright nickel or zinc plated. Both offer similar corrosion resistance. Choose based on your aesthetic preference.
6. Can I get other sizes or custom colours?
We offer a range of thread lengths – select from dropdown. For other diameters (e.g., M3, M4) or custom colours, please contact us.
