GKN Nettlefolds Screws
GKN Nettlefolds were a Birmingham based manufacturer of top quality fasteners and screws but unfortunately stopped manufacturing these in the 1980s. British wood screws are often described by joiners, cabinets makers and restorers alike as being superior in quality & finish. Our vintage screws are all made in Great Britain so you can be sure that the quality is superb. We have many boxes of different shapes and sizes all brand new and unused but the packaging may have worn a little over the years. The different types we have are as follows:
Slotted Steel Countersunk (CSK) Screws
These screws are self coloured which makes them darker than the zinc plated modern day screws. They are slotted as all screws were before phillips & pozidrive screws were invented. They are ideal for restoration projects and more. All sizes are in imperial starting from 1 gauge upto 14 and lengths starting from 1/4in to 3in. Pictured below is an example of Slotted Steel Countersunk (CSK) Screws which we stock
Slotted Steel Raised Head Screws
These screws are self coloured which makes them darker than the zinc plated modern day screws. They are slotted as all screws were before phillips & pozidrive screws were invented. The heads are raised and rounded which makes them ideal for restoration projects and more. All sizes are in imperial starting from 1 gauge upto 14 and lengths starting from 1/4in to 3in. Pictured below is an example of Slotted Steel Raised Head Screws which we stock.

Slotted Steel Raised Head Brushed Chrome Screws

The heads are raised and rounded which makes them ideal for restoration projects and more. All sizes are in imperial starting from 1 gauge upto 14 and lengths starting from 1/4in to 3in.

Slotted Brass Rounded Head screws
These screws are self coloured which makes them slightly darker than the brass plated modern day screws. They are slotted as all screws were before phillips & pozidrive screws were invented. The heads are raised and rounded which makes them ideal for restoration projects and more. All sizes are in imperial starting from 1 gauge upto 14 and lengths starting from 1/4in to 3in. Brass screws were a firm favourite as they would not rust like steel. But due to the rise in the cost of brass they are infrequently used now. Pictured below is an example of Slotted Brass Rounded Head screws which we stock.

The heads are raised and rounded which makes them ideal for restoration projects and more. All sizes are in imperial starting from 1 gauge upto 14 and lengths starting from 1/4in to 3in.
