National Hardware N118-869 Medium Screw Eye Zinc

Product Description

The NATIONAL HARDWARE N118-869 is a medium screw eye designed for fast, secure anchoring into wood substrates. The sharp screw point drives easily without pre-drilling in most softwoods, making installation quick and clean. Constructed from steel with a zinc finish, this screw eye resists corrosion in typical indoor applications. It suits a wide range of fastening and rigging tasks where a looped anchor point is needed in wood framing, trim, or cabinetry. General contractors, finish carpenters, and maintenance technicians keep this hardware on hand for everyday anchoring needs.

The N118-869 is suited for residential and light commercial applications. Common uses include hanging wire, rope, small hooks, or cable from wood members such as joists, studs, rafters, and shelving. The medium sizing makes it versatile across a broad range of hanging and routing tasks where a screw-in eye anchor is the appropriate fastener type.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a screwdriver or awl inserted through the eye loop for additional torque. In hardwoods or dense materials, a pilot hole is recommended to prevent splitting and ease driving. Always verify the load capacity of the mounting substrate before hanging any significant weight from the eye. Follow applicable local building codes when using screw eyes as part of a structural or life-safety anchoring system.
