FAQs

What does M8 x 20 refer to?

M8 refers to the 8mm diameter of the bolt thread, and 20 indicates the length of the shank in millimeters.

Do I need a wrench to tighten these?

No, these are designed specifically for tool-free, hand-tightened operation.

Are these screws rust-proof?

They feature a bright zinc plating which provides good corrosion resistance, but they are not stainless steel and should be kept away from harsh, wet, or saltwater environments.

Can I use these for heavy-duty structural applications?

No, these are intended for furniture, cabinetry, and light machinery adjustments, not for structural load-bearing connections.

Are different sizes available?

Yes, the Unifix range includes various diameters and lengths such as M6 and other M8 variations.

Troubleshooting

Screw is difficult to turn into the hole

Ensure the threading matches the M8 size. If it is a new hole, verify the thread pitch is compatible.

Head feels loose during operation

Check that the shoulder is properly seated against the surface and that the fastener is not being asked to support more weight than its design capacity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No tools required for assembly
  • Durable, corrosion-resistant finish
  • Easy to remove and adjust
  • Compact and convenient packaging

Cons

  • Not suitable for high-torque applications
  • Fixed M8 sizing may not fit all projects
  • Manual tightening may be difficult in very tight spaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper installation, clear the threaded hole of any debris or old sealant before inserting the screw. Simply align the screw with the hole and turn clockwise by hand until firm. Do not overtighten using pliers or mechanical tools, as this may strip the threading or damage the shoulder. Keep the threads clean and dry; if the environment is highly humid, consider applying a light machine oil to the threads to maintain ease of movement.
