Screw Eyes

A screw eye is a screw with a closed circular loop at the head rather than a drive recess - threaded into timber or a wall plug, it creates a fixed anchor point for rope, wire, cord, hanging hooks, and chain connections without requiring a separate hook fitting. At the DIY Hardware Store, our screw eyes are available in steel in the sizes used across picture hanging, garden wire training, pulley systems, clothesline anchoring, and general utility hanging applications.

The closed eye of a screw eye provides a secure loop that accepts rope, wire, snap hooks, and S-hooks without risk of disengagement - unlike an open hook, the eye retains the connected element even if the load reduces momentarily or the attachment shifts direction. This makes screw eyes the preferred anchor fitting for applications where continuous retention is important, such as clothesline end fittings, marine fairlead attachments, and pulley mounting points.

Available in a range of small through to medium sizes, in bright zinc and galvanised finishes for internal and outdoor applications respectively, at the DIY Hardware Store.
