Binding Screws with Screw Head: The Detachable Binding for Professionals
The binding screw with screw head (also known as a shaft screw or Chicago screw) is the classic choice among binding systems for loose-leaf collections. Unlike permanent rivets or press-in heads, the screw head allows the connection to be opened and closed as often as required. Consisting of a threaded shaft and a matching counter-screw with a slotted or cross-head, these fasteners can be easily fitted by hand or with a screwdriver. This makes them the ideal choice for presentation folders, colour charts and catalogues that need to be updated or expanded regularly.

Areas of application: catering, marketing and industry
In the catering industry, Binding Screws with screw heads are the standard for high-quality food and wine menus, as daily specials can be inserted in a matter of seconds. In marketing, they enhance sample collections of fabrics, wallpapers or floor coverings. They are also valued in the industrial sector for securely and audit-proof, yet modular, attachment of technical documentation or manuals directly to machinery.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What hole size do I need for the binding screws?
Our binding screws generally have a shaft diameter of approx. 5 mm. A standard hole with a diameter of 5.5 mm to 6 mm is therefore ideal, so that the shaft slides easily through the materials but does not have too much play.
How tight should I tighten the screws?
Hand-tight is usually sufficient. For applications subject to heavy movement (e.g. colour charts), moderate tightening with a screwdriver ensures that the screw head does not loosen on its own.
Can I use Binding Screws for leather goods?
Yes, they are extremely popular in leatherworking as ‘Chicago screws’. They are ideal for fastening straps, buckles or joining multi-layered pieces of leather.
