Hinged Screw Caps

Hinged screw caps provide a simple and practical way to conceal exposed screw heads while maintaining access for future adjustment or removal.

Unlike two-piece screw cover caps, these caps are manufactured as a single unit with an integrated hinged lid. The base fits beneath the screw head during installation, and the cap folds down to cover the fixing once secured. The hinged design helps retain the cap during and after installation, reducing the risk of loss.

These screw caps are suitable for cosmetic applications where appearance matters, including cabinetry, furniture, mirror fixings and decorative timber projects. In addition to improving visual finish, they help protect the screw head from dust and light exposure to moisture.

Available sizes include:

• To fit 3.0–4.5mm screws
• To fit 5.0–6.0mm screws

Always ensure the screw diameter matches the cap specification for correct fit and retention.

What Are Hinged Screw Caps Used For?
Hinged screw caps are commonly used for:

• Furniture assembly
• Cabinet installations
• Shopfitting and displays
• Interior timber joinery
• Mirror and decorative fittings

They are particularly useful where occasional access to the screw head may be required.
