FAQs
What is the thread pitch of these bolts?
These bolts have a standard 1mm thread pitch.
Does the set include tools for installation?
No, this set includes the hardware components only. You will need a standard hex wrench or socket set.
Are these bolts suitable for outdoor use?
While durable, they are best suited for indoor applications. For long-term outdoor exposure, consider a rust-resistant coating or stainless steel alternative.
Can these be used for heavy structural steel work?
No, these are intended for furniture assembly, light mechanical, and home improvement projects, not for structural load-bearing steel construction.
What are the two types of washers for?
The flat washer distributes the load to protect the surface, and the lock washer maintains tension to prevent the nut from backing off due to vibration.
Troubleshooting
Bolt does not thread into the nut smoothly
Ensure the threads are free of debris and that you are not cross-threading; attempt to start the nut by hand before using a wrench.
The connection becomes loose after use
Verify that the lock washer is placed directly against the nut and ensure the bolt has been tightened to the appropriate torque level.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Complete hardware kit includes all necessary components for installation
- Lock washers significantly reduce the risk of loosening over time
- Standard M6 size ensures compatibility with many furniture and mechanical standards
- Flat washers protect the substrate surface from bolt head pressure
Cons
- Not intended for high-stress structural load-bearing applications
- Requires manual hand tools for installation
- Lack of specified coating may necessitate rust prevention if used in humid environments
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, start by inserting the M6 bolt through your components with a flat washer against the head. On the fastening side, place the second flat washer, followed by the lock washer, and finally the nut. For maintenance, periodically inspect the connections in high-vibration areas to ensure the nuts remain secure. If these bolts are being installed into pre-existing metal frames, ensure the hole diameter is approximately 6mm to allow for a smooth passage without excessive play. For wood applications, it is recommended to drill a pilot hole slightly larger than 6mm to prevent the wood from splitting during installation.
