2-1/2" Aluminum Screw Posts (100 Sets)

2-1/2" aluminum screw posts are designed to bind large books. When binding any large document, it's a good idea to use posts that are a bit longer than necessary. The screws hold better when they are tightened down all the way against the post, and the book will be easier to read if the pages can move a bit. The posts can be extended to almost any length with our screw post extensions.

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.
