Self-drilling screws, also known as “Tek” screws, feature a unique design that incorporates a drill bit-like tip, allowing them to create their own hole as they are driven into materials. This feature eliminates the need for pre-drilling, saving time and effort during installation. Galvanized screws, on the other hand, are coated with a layer of zinc to enhance their corrosion resistance. This dual functionality makes self-drilling galvanized screws ideal for a wide range of applications, especially in outdoor and critical structural projects.

The process begins with drilling a hole in the drywall to accommodate the bolt's anchor. The butterfly bolt consists of two main parts the bolt itself and the spring-loaded wings. When inserted into the pre-drilled hole, the wings collapse, allowing the bolt to pass through the drywall. Once the bolt is pushed through and the nut is tightened from the front side, the wings expand against the inner surface of the drywall, creating a secure anchor point. This design ensures that the bolt not only holds the weight of the mounted object but also withstands any pull-out forces.

For example, steel decks may require stronger and more durable fasteners compared to aluminum decks. Additionally, some metal decks may be coated with a protective layer, which can affect the performance of certain fasteners.
