The door fitting is attached to your door with screws. You may think that it does not matter which type of screw is used for mounting, but there are different types of screws that are more or less suitable for your door fittings. So that your door fittings are not only properly secured, but also attached in an attractive way.

It is an open door, but we kick it in anyway: the screw head must be the same color as the door handle , so that it is as inconspicuous as possible. Screws for door fittings are available in all colors.

Furthermore, the shape of the screw head is important. There are three types of screws: flat-head screws, pan-head screws and pan-head screws.

The flathead screw

The flat-head screw, as the name suggests, is a screw with a flat head. Because the screw tapers under the head, the screw is recessed into the surface. This makes the screw noticeable as little as possible. This screw is particularly suitable for mounting hinges and hinges, because it is important that the screw does not protrude. If the screw were to do that, the door would not be able to close completely, and that is not the intention. This screw is mainly used for stainless steel door fittings

The Lens Head Screw

The lens head screw is slightly more convex than the flat head screw, like a kind of lens. Although this screw tapers under the head and therefore sinks into the surface, it does protrude because of its convex head. The pan head screw is an elegant screw that is often used in wrought iron products.

The Button Head Screw

The button head screw is the sturdiest of the three. This screw is flat under the head and countersunk into the surface, unlike the previously mentioned screws. This round screw has a playful appearance and is usually used to finish decorative door fittings in style. This often concerns wrought iron door fittings.
