Bolts, Screws & Fasteners

Bolts, Screws & Fasteners - Buy TVS Bolts, Wood Screws, Nuts & Anchors Online

Bolts, screws and fasteners are the small components that hold the built world together - every piece of furniture, every fixture on a wall, every framework and assembly relies on them. Choosing the right fastener for the material and load is what makes a joint secure and lasting; the wrong one strips, loosens or fails. At Fixxly, our bolts, screws and fasteners range includes TVS - a trusted name in fasteners - alongside the complete set a home, carpenter or contractor reaches for: bolts and nuts, wood and self-tapping screws, wall anchors and plugs, washers and the full array of fixings. This guide explains the main fastener types, how to choose the right one, and how to make joints that hold.

What are bolts, screws and fasteners?

Fasteners are the components that mechanically join two or more parts together. The category covers a wide family: bolts, which pass through parts and are secured with a nut; screws, which cut their own grip into the material as they are driven; wall anchors and plugs, which let screws hold securely in masonry and hollow walls; and the washers, nuts and fixings that complete these joints. Fixxly stocks TVS bolts and fasteners alongside a wider hardware range, so each type is available from a name you can rely on. Each type is engineered for a purpose, and the reason there are so many is that different materials - wood, metal, masonry, plasterboard - and different loads each demand a specific fastening approach.

Types of fasteners and where each is used

Bolts and nuts

Bolts pass through aligned holes in the parts being joined and are secured with a nut, creating a strong, demountable connection ideal for heavier assemblies and anything that may need to be taken apart. TVS bolts are a reliable choice here. Washers spread the load and protect the surfaces.

Wood screws and self-tapping screws

Wood screws cut a firm grip into timber, plywood and boards, making them the mainstay of furniture and carpentry. Self-tapping screws form their own thread in metal and other materials, speeding assembly where a pre-tapped hole is not available.

Wall anchors and plugs

To fix anything to a masonry or hollow wall, a wall anchor or plug is essential. The plug expands as the screw is driven, gripping the wall so the fixture holds securely. Different anchors suit solid masonry versus hollow drywall, and matching the anchor to the wall type is critical for a secure fixing.

Washers and fixings

Washers distribute load and prevent loosening, and the wider set of fixings completes specialist joints. These small parts often make the difference between a joint that stays tight and one that works loose.

How to choose the right fastener

Match the fastener to the material, the load and the environment.

• Fixing into wood or board: wood screws sized to the material thickness.
• Joining metal or needing a demountable joint: TVS bolts and nuts with washers, or self-tapping screws for metal.
• Fixing to a masonry or drywall wall: the correct wall anchor or plug for that wall type, with a matching screw.
• Heavy loads: size up the fastener and use the appropriate anchor rated for the weight.
• Damp or outdoor use: corrosion-resistant fasteners that will not rust and fail.

How to make a joint that holds

A secure fixing is about the right fastener, correctly installed. Choose a fastener rated for the load and suited to the material. For wall fixings, drill the correct hole size for the anchor - too large and it will not grip, too small and it will not seat. Use the right anchor for solid versus hollow walls, as the wrong type is the top cause of fixtures pulling out. Do not overtighten screws into wood, which strips the grip, or undertighten bolts, which lets joints loosen.

Fasteners are essential to carpentry and installation. Build furniture from plywood and blockboard, complete it with hinges, door hardware, locks and handles and kitchen and wardrobe hardware, and drive them with power tools.

Frequently asked questions about bolts, screws and fasteners

Does Fixxly stock genuine TVS fasteners?

Yes - Fixxly stocks genuine TVS bolts and fasteners, a well-established name in Indian hardware, alongside the wider range of screws, anchors and washers needed for a complete project.

What is the difference between a bolt and a screw?

A bolt passes through the parts being joined and is secured with a nut, creating a strong demountable connection for heavier assemblies, while a screw cuts its own grip directly into the material as it is driven.

Which screw should I use for wood?

Wood screws are designed to cut a firm grip into timber, plywood and boards and should be sized to the thickness of the material being fixed. They are the mainstay of furniture and carpentry.

How do I fix something to a masonry wall?

Fixing to masonry requires a wall anchor or plug: drill the correct hole size, insert the plug, and drive a matching screw so the plug expands and grips the wall.

Which fasteners should I use outdoors?

Outdoor and damp locations need corrosion-resistant fasteners that will not rust and fail over time. Choosing rust-resistant bolts, screws and anchors for exposed applications prevents corrosion-related failure.
