Nails, Studs & Screws

It depends on the job! Rosehead nails are used for fixing plank/ledge & brace doors so that part of the nail passes all the way through the planks & is then bent over to hold everything in place. The shape of their shaft is also ideal for fixing floorboards as it holds the boards to joists. Our other types of hand-made nails can be used for various creative and practical uses, from fixing coffee tables to hanging jackets.

Our Rosehead nails are sold in kilo bags, so it depends on which type you purchase. For example, there will be more 1" nails in a bag than 3" nails because they weigh less per item. All our other types of nails are sold in singles or set quantities. Make sure you read the information on the product's page before buying so you receive the quantity you need!

In short, yes, but they may stain the wood. Our Rosehead nails are finished in a black oxide coating to protect them against rust and prevent staining, but harsh external conditions will eventually cause degradation of this finish.

Our Black and Pewter hand-made studs and nails are fine to use externally, provided you take care of the finishes as specified in our Finishes Guide. Our Beeswax studs and nails should not be used externally as they'll rust in harsh conditions. Also, remember to take care when fitting the products - hitting them hardly with a metal hammer may damage the finish and allow rust to form.

Yes, although for harder woods you may need to drill pilot holes before fitting. Also, please be aware that some types of wood may become stained by our hand-made nails/studs if used externally.

Most of our screws are available to purchase as spares. If you misplace some, or require spares, we recommend searching the product on our website and consulting the technical drawing to determine which screw types you need. These can be found in the Spares & Accessories section of our website and are usually sold in multipacks.

If you live in a coastal area, the high levels of atmospheric salt are very corrosive to most finishes. For these areas, we recommend using only Stainless Steel (SS) products. We've developed a range of SS screws with a range of finishes applied to match your existing products, which you can view on the Spares & Accessories section of our website.
