4-1/2" Aluminum Screw Posts (100 Sets)

4-1/2" aluminum screw posts are designed for binding ledgers, computer printouts, and other very thick books. Of course you can use our screw posts to connect just about anything that you can punch or drill a 1/4" diameter hole through. They can also be extended to almost any length with our screw post extensions.

If your book is going to be subjected to a lot of use, or if you are going to be binding materials that are heavier than usual, we suggest using our steel screw posts. These posts and screws are much stronger than our industry standard aluminum screw posts. They are also larger in diameter than the aluminum screw posts, so please check the dimensions of the posts that you want to use when you are designing your book.

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.
