13/16" Screw Eye, Silver

13/16" Screw Eye — Zinc-Plated Steel Fastener for Craft, Hanging, and Organizational Projects

The 13/16 inch screw eye is a zinc-plated steel mounting solution tailored for attaching cable, thin rope, or wire to wood and similar materials. Featuring an 11/64 inch internal eye diameter and a robust steel wire construction, it is built to anchor small decorative, utility, or organizing elements with reliable hold. This size is commonly chosen for projects where space is limited but consistent, secure support is needed—such as supporting lightweight wall art, assembling models, or suspending holiday ornaments. Its corrosion-resistant finish and easy installation make it an essential hardware staple for both home and professional projects[52].

Suggested Uses

The 13/16" screw eye securely anchors craft wire for homemade jewelry displays, serves as a fixing point for string lights or bunting, or attaches key hooks to entryway boards. It’s widely used for hanging smaller picture frames, assembling model kits, or securing lightweight signage in holiday and classroom settings. A practical DIY tip: run cord between two of these screw eyes to organize scarves, sunglasses, or tools on a pegboard or inside a closet—its unobtrusive size is great for space-saving designs or compact modular setups. For the holiday season, insert several along a mantel or shelf to suspend stockings or ornaments evenly and securely[52].

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the maximum weight capacity for this screw eye?
  It is designed for light-duty tasks such as hanging decor, small crafts, or pictures; do not use for heavy or structural loads.
• Can I use these outdoors?
  The zinc-plated coating offers basic moisture resistance for occasional outdoor use, but is not recommended for constant exposure to rain or direct weather.
• Is pilot drilling required?
  While not required for soft woods, a pilot hole is recommended to prevent wood splitting and ensure proper alignment in harder woods.
• What size cord or wire fits in the eye?
  The 11/64" eye fits common craft string, utility cord, or picture wire—always check your cord or accessory size before installing.
• How do I align multiple screw eyes evenly?
  Measure and mark for consistent spacing, then start each hole with a pilot drill for precise parallel installation.
• Is the zinc coating paintable?
  The coating can be painted for color coordination, but lightly sand for best adhesion prior to painting.
• Are these appropriate for drywall or masonry mounting?
  They are intended for wood; for drywall, pair with appropriate anchors; for masonry, use specialty screw eyes made for concrete or brick.

These 13/16" screw eyes are a go-to hardware solution wherever reliable, light-duty anchoring is needed. Their compact size, smooth finish, and consistent production make them the perfect fit for small crafts, home organization, and creative assembly.
