What is the thread pitch of the bolt?
What is the thread pitch of the bolt? There are several measurement methods that should be considered when looking for the right bolt for your application.
The most obvious measurements are the length and diameter of the bolt, but other aspects of the fastener should also be measured to ensure the most accurate fit. Here, let's look at what thread pitch is and why it's so important when measuring bolts.
Threads are a critical component in connecting a bolt to the required fastener. The pitch is the distance between these threads. Pitch is usually divided into standard pitch, fine pitch and ultra-fine pitch. The finer the pitch, the tighter the thread.
These categories represent specific measurements based on thread size. For example, for a standard size M20 bolt, the coarse thread pitch is always 2.5 mm, the fine thread pitch is 2.0 mm, and the extra fine thread pitch is 1.5 mm.
Do you know the thread pitch of a bolt?
Thread pitch measurement is very important because if the thread pitch does not match the nut to be used, the bolt will not seat properly. You wouldn't use a different diameter or length measurement than your application requires, so the same values should be applied to the shade.
If you use the wrong thread pitch, the bolt may not hold securely, which can cause problems in any application, especially deadbolts.

How to ensure the pitch is correct?
If you are looking for a bolt with standard pitch then you do not need to specify this in your inquiry as it is generally assumed that you are looking for standard pitch unless you specify otherwise.
Or if you are looking for a thread pitch other than standard measurements, such as fine or extra-fine threads, you should make sure you state this in your inquiry.
We like to scrutinize details, so if you provide the bolt size you require, we can tell you what type of procedure is required. For example, if you want a M30 x 3.5 x 100mm bolt, we know you'll need an extra fine pitch.
Most of the bolts recalled from stock have standard thread pitches. This means they are more readily available and therefore can be purchased quickly based on demand. Other pitch requirements are usually not in stock as they are usually made to order so we recommend ordering in advance to ensure they are available when needed.
