National Hardware N118-430 Small Screw Eye Zinc Finish

Product Description

The NATIONAL HARDWARE N118-430 is a small screw eye fastener designed for light-duty hanging, looping, and routing applications in wood. The sharp screw point drives easily by hand or with a screwdriver, requiring no pilot hole in softer woods. Constructed from steel with a zinc finish, this screw eye resists corrosion in typical indoor environments. It is a common hardware item kept on hand by finish carpenters, maintenance technicians, and general contractors for quick installations where a looped anchor point is needed.

This screw eye is suited for residential and light commercial applications including cabinet assembly, picture hanging wire anchoring, cord and cable routing, and light gate or door hardware. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance appropriate for interior use and protected exterior locations. Its compact size makes it a practical fit for small trim components, craft assemblies, and general shop or facility maintenance tasks.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with pliers for torque assistance when driving into harder wood species. In hardwoods, drilling a pilot hole slightly smaller than the shank diameter is recommended to prevent wood splitting. No special tools or permits are required for standard applications. Ensure the substrate wood is sound and free of cracks before driving to maintain holding strength.
