What does a conversion machine screw do?

Conversion machine screws bridge two components with different internal thread sizes, allowing them to connect securely without modifying either piece of hardware. One end threads into the existing opening; the other accepts the fastener or stud required for the installation.

Are conversion machine screws reusable?

Yes, standoff conversion screws are designed for repeated installation and removal and can be reused as long as the threads remain undamaged.

Will conversion screws affect the appearance of the installation?

No. The screw sits inside the hardware assembly and does not change the exterior appearance of the finished installation.
