Below is an overview of the mounting screws we offer. Wood screws are automatically included with your order while high-strength anchors are available for purchase. Keep in mind that most (or all) of your mounting screws will be hidden by drapes, so color matching is not always necessary.
- Iron Black, Dark Bronze, Dark Antique Brass, and Breccia finishes: We provide black wood screws. Our SnapToggles anchors, if purchased, come with black machine screws.
- Satin Nickel, Brushed Stainless, and Alys White: We provide zinc wood screws. Our SnapToggles anchors, if purchased, come with zinc machine screws.
- Glossy Brass: We provide brass colored wood screws. Our SnapToggles anchors, if purchased, come with brass colored machine screws.
If you buy your own anchors, they may come with zinc-plated screws but you can replace them with black 10-24 x 2 1/2" pan head screws. (You can find these through McMaster-Carr or similar suppliers. 10-24 is equivalent to 3/16-24.)
Please see Installation Tips: Mounting Screws for additional information on wood screws and SnapToggles.
If you would like to color match your own screws, you can use a paint pen, nail polish, or in some cases even a simple Sharpie marker. It may sound crude but it often works as well as anything else. You can also use a small can of liquid or aerosol paint, just be sure that it is suitable for use on metal and let it dry before the installation. Here are the recommended color matches:
- Iron Black: a semi-flat black paint
- Dark Bronze: a semi-flat to semi-gloss bronze paint, or a dark brown or black
- Dark Antique Brass: a semi-flat to semi-gloss antique brass paint
- Satin Nickel and Brushed Stainless: any nickel or silver paint
- Breccia: a semi-flat dark brown or black paint
- Alys White: a semi-flat white paint
