These wood screw covers are specifically engineered for DIN 571 hex lag screws, offering a practical solution for concealing exposed bolt heads. Finished in a RAL 8017 brown color, these caps blend seamlessly with wooden surfaces, providing a professional and uniform aesthetic for your projects. Beyond their visual appeal, they serve as a protective barrier, shielding the screw head from moisture, dust, and potential corrosion, thereby extending the lifespan of the hardware.
Advantages
The primary benefit of these covers is their ability to transform the look of exposed hardware into a clean, finished detail. By covering the hex head, they prevent the accumulation of debris and protect the metal from environmental exposure. The durable plastic construction ensures that the caps remain securely in place while being easy to install or remove when maintenance is required. Their specific design ensures a precise fit for standard hex lag screws, maintaining a consistent appearance across all connection points.
Suitable for
- Furniture assembly and restoration
- Interior construction and woodworking projects
- Outdoor wooden structures where aesthetic finish is required
- Covering exposed lag screw heads in cabinetry
When it may not be suitable
These covers are designed exclusively for standard DIN 571 hex lag screws and may not fit other types of fasteners such as countersunk screws or bolts with non-standard head dimensions. They are not intended for structural load-bearing applications where the cap might interfere with the tightening process or the integrity of the connection.
Key specifications
- Material: Durable plastic
- Color: RAL 8017 Brown
- Dimensions: 20 mm length, 20 mm width, 6 mm thickness
- Compatibility: DIN 571 hex lag screws

How to use
To install the covers, ensure the hex lag screw is fully tightened into the material. Align the cap with the head of the screw and press firmly until it snaps into place. The friction fit ensures the cover remains secure during normal use. If you need to access the screw later, the cap can be gently pried off using a flat tool without damaging the surrounding surface.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify the head size of your existing DIN 571 screws to ensure compatibility
- Confirm that the RAL 8017 brown color matches your specific wood finish
- Ensure the 6 mm thickness is appropriate for your application depth
Usage recommendations
For the best aesthetic results, ensure the screw head is clean and free of debris before applying the cover. If the screw is recessed, verify that there is sufficient clearance for the 6 mm thickness of the cap to sit flush with the surface.
