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\u003eOur metallic Chicago screws are durable and a must-have for projects where the screw head is exposed. Each screw has a slotted head, or Phillips head if desired, while the female post remains unslotted. These screws are available in a variety of sizes, lengths, and finishes to suit the needs of your next binding project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNickel and Brass plated steel Chicago screws provide a high level of luster and professionalism without the high cost. The silver color of the nickel-plated screws may be painted to match any pantone color, black being the most popular.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe also offer brass-binding screws, known for their extreme durability under normal wear and tear. Their non-magnetic qualities make them suitable for electronic and medical machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with all of our screws, nickel and brass plated come with complimentary Chicago posts to keep them in place for years. The cost-effective brass and nickel plating stands up to scratches and dents to leave your products looking sharp. These may also be ordered blind if desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCall or \u003ca href=\"mailto:infobook@mc2office.com\"\u003eemail us\u003c\/a\u003e to learn more about our Chicago screws.
