A: It depends.If we have bulk goods in stock, we can ship goods within 3 days after the QC process. If we don’t have stock, normally it takes 7-15 days for OEM samples and 20-30 days for bulk goods. If it refers to opening the new mold, it takes an extra 7-15 days to make the mold.
Furniture Wood Threaded Insert Nuts
Furniture Insert Nuts (Internal/External Thread Nuts): Overview
Material:
- Common materials: Carbon steel (zinc-plated or nickel-coated), stainless steel (304), brass (for corrosion resistance in humid environments), or nylon (for lightweight, non-conductive applications).
- Surface treatments: Electroplating, passivation, or anti-rust coatings to enhance durability.
Manufacturing Process:
- Cold Heading: Forms the basic shape of the insert nut from metal wire.
- Threading: Internal threads (for bolts) and external threads (for insertion into materials) are cut or rolled.
- Knurling/Flanging: Adds external knurls, flutes, or flanges to improve grip in wood/plastic.
- Heat Treatment: Applied to steel variants for increased hardness (optional).
- Surface Coating: Electroplating or polishing for corrosion resistance.
Key Production Considerations:
- Thread precision: Ensures compatibility with standard bolts (metric/SAE).
- Knurl design: Sharp, deep knurls to prevent rotation in soft materials like wood or plastic.
- Material compatibility: Brass/stainless steel for moisture-prone applications; steel for cost-effective general use.
- Coating adhesion: Prevents flaking during installation.
Applications:
- Furniture assembly: Bed frames, cabinets, tables, and modular furniture (e.g., IKEA).
- Woodworking: Joining wood panels, drawer slides, and shelf brackets.
- Plastic/composite materials: Securing components in outdoor furniture or lightweight structures.
- DIY projects: Reusable fastening for disassemblable designs.
Installation:
- Pre-drill a hole: Match the hole diameter to the insert’s external thread size.
- Insertion:
- For threaded inserts: Screw into the material using a hex key, screwdriver, or specialized insertion tool.
- For press-in inserts: Tap gently with a hammer until flush with the surface.
- Thread engagement: Insert a bolt into the internal thread and tighten securely.
- Torque control: Avoid over-tightening to prevent stripping threads in soft materials.
Note:
- Reusability: Brass/steel inserts can be unscrewed and reused; nylon inserts may degrade with repeated use.
- Material protection: Use pilot holes in wood/plastic to prevent splitting.
- Load capacity: Select insert size/material based on weight/stress requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
A: Normally, we make a 30% deposit after Pl confirmation and a 70% balance before shipment. lf order amountis too small, we can also change to 100% deposit in order to save bank handling charge.
A: A pre-bulk sample check can solve this problem to the largest extent. We will arrange production according to the pre-bulk sample quality standard after your confirmation of the samples.
A: We are not only a trading company but also a manufacturer. Our factory mainly focuses on mold design and quality inspection. Our bulk production may come from the factories we have worked with for a long time, and they are all ISO9001 certified. Through this cooperation model, we can not only ensure product quality and service, but also satisfy the diversified product needs of customers, and the price is more advantageous.
