Some folks prefer not to see that hole, so in the blind version we produce posts that are not drilled completely through. However, this does not allow enough room for the normal screw so they are shipped with a shorter screw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough Chicago screws were created initially for bookbinding, they are now found on a wide variety of products including architectural displays, spearguns, and other products that require fasteners. The screws allow for easy disassembly if necessary, yet hold tight until ready for removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur locally made inventory grows every week based on the demands of our customers.
