Custom Chicago Screws

Cold heading process is one of the new processes for pressure machining of less or no cutting
metal. It is a processing method that utilizes the plastic deformation of metal under the action of
external forces, and with the aid of molds, redistributes and transfers the volume of metal to form
the required parts or blanks. The cold heading process is most suitable for producing standard
fasteners such as bolts, screws, nuts, rivets, and pins.etc

Custom Chicago screws (also known as sex bolts, barrel nuts, or binding posts) are specialized fasteners designed for both functional and decorative applications. They consist of two interlocking parts—a threaded barrel (male) and a mating screw (female)—that screw together to securely fasten materials without requiring a separate nut. These screws are widely used in industries such as leatherworking, jewelry, bookbinding, and industrial manufacturing, where both durability and aesthetics matter.
