Self-drilling galvanized screws are versatile fasteners that are widely used in various applications. Their common uses include

Cross bracing is designed to counteract lateral forces—such as wind loads and seismic activity—that can compromise a building’s stability. By installing steel studs diagonally across a frame, the structure can effectively distribute stress and enhance resistance to buckling. The mechanism works on the principle of triangulation, where the cross-braced elements work together to form a rigid framework that maintains its shape under stress.

4. Thread Design The threads on Tek screws are designed to bite into materials, facilitating a strong hold without the risk of stripping. This is especially important when working with softer metals or substrates.
