1. Customer Background & Core Procurement Pain Points
The buyer is a Southeast Asian building hardware supplier, supplying door and window hardware and curtain wall accessories for local coastal construction projects. The main pain point: Ordinary iron screws suffer severe rust after 3-6 months in coastal high salt fog environment; standard screw length cannot match thick aluminum alloy door and window profiles, leading to insufficient locking force and loose doors and windows.
2. Pre-Production Communication & Size Sketch Confirmation
The customer provided physical samples of failed screws and on-site installation photos. Our engineers measured sample data accurately, optimized screw rod length and thread depth according to actual wall thickness and profile thickness. We revised 2 versions of drawings for free until fully fitting on-site construction installation conditions, and confirmed mass production drawings officially.
3. Material Selection & Custom Specification
- Material: SUS304 stainless steel (super anti-corrosion for coastal areas)
- Type: Countersunk head self-tapping wood screws for building doors & windows
- Size: ST4.2*35mm, ST4.8*40mm extended length
- Custom Requirement: 1000 hours salt spray test pass, strong locking force for thick profiles
4. Production Process & Full Quality Inspection
All stainless steel raw materials were inspected before warehousing to avoid mixed inferior steel. We adopted precise thread rolling process to improve thread bite force. Finished products underwent strict salt spray test and tensile strength test. All products meet outdoor construction fastener industry standards.
5. Custom Packaging & Delivery & Customer Feedback
Adopted VCI anti-rust independent packaging suitable for long-distance sea shipping, with clear size marking on each bag. We completed bulk production within 10 working days and arranged sea freight as customer required. We took on-site production photos and delivery photos for the solution page. The customer reported zero rust problem after one-year outdoor site use, and signed long-term annual supply contract with our factory.
