License Plate Thumb Screws: GM Dealer Style, 1/4″ (#14) x 1/2″ Zinc, Packs of 50, 100, or 200

These license plate thumb screws are a fast and safe way for dealers and transport companies to change dealer and transport license plates by hand, without a screwdriver. They’re GM dealer style, 1/4″ (#14) x 1/2″ with a 1-1/8″ overall length, and made of zinc metal, so they won’t rust. It’s a universal size for most American vehicles, and you can choose a pack of 50, 100, or 200.

Why Dealers Use License Plate Thumb Screws

A dealer plate moves from car to car all day: test drives, deliveries, and trips to the body shop. Hunting for a screwdriver every time slows the lot down. With license plate thumb screws, you turn the plate on and off by hand in seconds. No dealership or transport company should be without these thumb screws in the hardware box.

Made of Zinc Metal

These license plate thumb screws are made of zinc metal, so they won’t rust, even on plates that live outside on the lot. The thumb head lets you turn them by hand, so there’s no screwdriver to find or lose.

What makes this one worth keeping in the garage:

Size: 1/4″ (#14) x 1/2″, 1-1/8″ overall length
Zinc metal, so they won’t rust
No screwdriver needed: install and remove by hand
Universal size for most American vehicles
Packs of 50, 100, or 200

How to Use License Plate Thumb Screws

Line up the plate with the mounting holes on the car.
Start each thumb screw by hand and turn it until the plate sits snug.
To move the plate to the next car, turn the screws back out by hand and repeat.

Tip: Keep a pack in the hardware box with your dealer plates, so a set is always ready for the next swap.

Thumb Screws or Regular Plate Screws?

Regular slotted license plate screws hold a plate for the long haul, and you need a screwdriver to take them out. License plate thumb screws are made for plates that come on and off all day, like dealer and transport plates. Many lots keep both: regular screws for the plates that stay put, and thumb screws for the dealer plate that moves from car to car.
