Troubleshooting

Screw doesn't tighten properly

Ensure the screw post and head are correctly aligned through the material holes. Check that the holes are not too large for the rivet components. Try tightening with a screwdriver that fits the slot precisely.

Rivet appears loose after installation

The material may be too thick for the rivet length, preventing a secure connection. Ensure the holes are drilled correctly and try to tighten further, being careful not to strip the screw. If the material is too thick, consider a longer rivet.

Difficulty inserting or turning the screw

Confirm you are using a standard flat-head screwdriver that fits the screw slot snugly. Check for any debris in the screw slot or on the post.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: To install these Chicago screws, first prepare your materials by punching or drilling holes of an appropriate size (slightly larger than the screw post). Insert the screw post from one side and the screw head from the other, aligning them through the holes. Use a standard flat-head screwdriver to tighten the screw into the post until a secure connection is achieved. Do not overtight. For removal, simply reverse the process.

Compatibility: These rivets are compatible with a wide range of materials, including leather, fabric, cardstock, thin wood, and plastics. They are designed for use with any standard flat-head screwdriver. Ensure the thickness of your combined materials does not exceed the length of the screw post (13mm) for proper fastening.

Care: To maintain the appearance and functionality of these brass rivets, clean them with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the bronze finish. Store them in a dry place to prevent any potential tarnishing over extended periods.
