5" Aluminum Screw Posts (100 Sets)

5" aluminum screw posts are designed for binding very large books. For books and other projects that require a longer post, they can also be extended to almost any length with our screw post extensions. For binding documents this thick, it's a good idea to obtain posts that are slightly longer than the thickness of the book. This will leave room to open the inner pages a bit better, and will make the screws hold better.

If your book is going to be subjected to a lot of use, or if you are going to be binding materials that are heavier than usual, we suggest using our steel screw posts. These posts and screws are much stronger than our industry standard aluminum screw posts. They are also larger in diameter than the aluminum screw posts, so please check the dimensions of the posts that you want to use when you are designing your book.

We sell screws and posts together so that you you don't have to worry about matching the correct parts. We also sell extra screws on this site.
