#12 Machine Screw & Jack Nut

1/4" Oval Pan Head Machine Screw (the size is equivalent to a #12 screw). This is the anchor system we recommend using to secure the Keyed Cam Latch System, the rubber receivers for our door holders and will work for both sides of our silent door holders.  The screw is stainless steel or zinc, and the jack nuts are zinc/steel.  Drill a 7/16" hole, then tap the nut in. Place the part over the hole, & tighten the screw. It creates an anchor that can't be pulled out by yanking on the door.

*This anchor should not be used for hardware that has a flush or flat back, as the jack nut will hold the hardware away from the wall of the trailer by 1/16".

*These actual machine screw's thread areas are 3/4".& 1/18".

TEK  Screws

Wafer TEK screws have a 1/2" wide flat head, so  that a washer is not needed. These are self-drilling, and are commonly used to attach rubber mats or liners to the smooth interior of horse trailer walls. They have a rust-resistant coating, a good choice for aluminum trailers. Depending on how thin the mat is and how thick the wall is, choose either 3/4" or 1 inch long screw. When installing a very thick mat  mat, use the 1 1/2" size. Self-drilling, & the color is a very light beige/gray. The heads can be touched up with black paint or permanent marker to match the mats.

*Can be used in other applications where you don't want to use a washer, and we have recently seen them used by the trailer manufacturers to attach small trailer parts to new aluminum trailers.

Order a few of these, and you will see how useful they are when mounting parts!

Horse Trailer Pad Retainer Clips

 

Nylon/ Plastic Black Retainer Clip

 

HOW MANY DO YOU NEED?

  4 Clips for each 12" pad
  4 Clips for each 15" pad
  6 clips for each 24" pad
           8 clips for each 40" pad
         10 clips for each 60" pad

These are also known as "push pins". They work with 1" double-wall aluminum trailers & dividers, although they are designed for just a one-time use. The nylon threads are flexible, and they catch the trailer surface & hold the pad tight. Using a drill with a 3/16" bit, drill a hole through the flat pad border area & trailer wall. Push the pin in with your fingers. You can use less clips than with a screw application, drill less holes, and it looks neater. Choose the 1" black retainer clips for the pads we sell. 

*These are also the common applicator for homemade or commercial "upgrade" trailer pads that have no border, and here they are applied directly through the foam area. For trailer pads made with no border, choose the 1 1/2" length black retainer clip.

Cushioned Wall Fastener, 1/2" 

Commonly used on aluminum & steel horse trailers in light applications to hold steel rings and double-ended snaps for corner feedbags, window screens and for holding trailer dividers in a open position. The remarkable thing is that it uses only one screw or rivet, so there are less holes in your trailer. The metal portion is steel, with a non-corrosive zinc finish. The liner is neoprene. When closed, the inside opening is shaped like a teardrop, with a vertical measurement of 1/2". 

Install with #10 sheet metal or TEK screw, sold on this page.
