Nott's Captive Screw Fittings

CSF's (captive screw fittings) can be fitted to most packing cases, allowing them to be opened and closed quickly and easily, without damaging the case and needing only a screwdriver. The CSF is supplied in two parts - the Angle (fitted to the case) and the Top (fitted to the lid).

How do I choose which CSF to use?

The Angle - Light Weight Applications - Use Pattern 6
Medium Weight Applications - Use Pattern 11 or Pattern 12

The dimensions shown in the photographs below show whether the chosen pattern can be fitted on your case. All angles except Pattern 6 are provided with lugs for attaching a pilfer-evident seal between the Angle and Top.

The Top - Once you have decided which Angle to use, all you need to do is select the Top with a Captive Screw of the required length - depending on the thickness of the lid being fitted to the case.

Use the Table below to find the maximum lid thickness applicable to each Captive Screw. (Order Codes shown in blue)

How to order ?

As the CSF is sold in two parts, it is possible to order the Angles and Tops in different quantities. Established users often find this an advantage. When ordering please state whether you require Angles or Tops. Quote the Pattern and code number and, for Tops, the Captive Screw length of your choice.

For Example:
Pattern 11 Angles
Pattern 11 Tops 1" Screw

If you would like a Certificate of Conformity, please request this when ordering.
