Hillman Builders Hardware 852418 Screw Eye Large

Product Description

The HILLMAN BUILDERS HARDWARE 852418 is a large screw eye fastener with a wire diameter of 0.080 inches and a shank length of 1-1/16 inches. Screw eyes are threaded fasteners with a looped head used to create a fixed anchor point in wood or similar substrates. This size is suited to light-duty hanging, routing, or rigging applications where a consistent, low-profile eye anchor is needed. Installation requires no special tooling beyond a hand awl or insertion rod through the eye loop for torque leverage. Plumbers, general contractors, and finish carpenters commonly use screw eyes as attachment points for cable, wire, hook-and-eye closures, and light suspension hardware.

This screw eye is designed for general construction and maintenance applications in both residential and light commercial settings. Typical use cases include cabinet closures, screen door latches, picture hanging systems, wire management routing, and low-load suspension points. The 0.080 wire diameter and 1-1/16 inch shank length make it appropriate for use in standard dimensional lumber, MDF, and similar wood-based materials where a secure threaded anchor point is required without the bulk of a larger fastener.

Key Features

• Wire diameter of 0.080 inches for light-duty load capacity
• Shank length of 1-1/16 inches provides solid thread engagement in standard wood substrates
• Closed-loop eye head creates a fixed, continuous anchor point
• Sold individually for single-point replacement or small-quantity applications
• Compact form factor suitable for tight clearance installations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw eye for use in wood and wood-composite substrates in standard residential and light commercial construction and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by general contractors, carpenters, or maintenance technicians. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended to prevent wood splitting, particularly in hardwood or near edges. Thread the fastener by hand or use a rod or screwdriver shaft inserted through the eye loop for added torque. Ensure the substrate thickness is sufficient to fully engage the shank threads for a secure hold.
