High-Quality Tee Nuts

What is a Tee Nut?

A tee nut (often referred to as a T-nut or blind nut) is a unique, internally threaded barrel-shaped fastener designed with a wide, completely flat base. Manufactured from durable, high-quality materials, these specialized fasteners are engineered to sit flush against the mating surface, providing a highly secure, permanent, and clean anchor point for joining structural components.

Design Features and Primary Applications

Because of their distinct flat base and integrated pronged design, tee nuts are exceptionally useful for seamlessly joining hardware to softer materials without causing structural damage. Key mechanical features and applications include:

• Pronged Grip: Manufactured with 3, 4, or 6 sharp metal prongs extending directly from the flat base. When installed, these prongs bite deeply into the mating material, effectively preventing the nut from spinning, rotating, or backing out while a bolt is being tightened.
• Steel Threads in Wood: They efficiently and permanently install durable steel threads into pre-drilled wood, particle board, or composite plastics without the need for complex, time-consuming counter-boring.
• Mixed-Material Fastening: Primarily utilized in furniture manufacturing, cabinetry, marine construction, and commercial displays for reliably and securely fastening heavy metal components to softer wood or plastic surfaces.
