Metric License Plate Screws: M6 x 16mm Slotted Hex Head, Self-Tapping, Pack of 100
These metric license plate screws are made for dealers, body shops, and detail shops that mount plates on import cars every day. Each screw is M6 x 16mm (6mm thread, 16mm length under the head), with a hex washer head that takes a slotted screwdriver or a hex socket. They’re self-tapping steel with a cone point and a protective zinc clear finish, and you get 100 in a pack.
Why Dealers Keep Metric License Plate Screws on Hand
A lot rarely sells just one kind of car. Most American vehicles take a #14 plate screw, while many imports take a metric thread. When the right size runs out, a delivery waits on a screw. A pack of 100 metric license plate screws in the hardware box keeps plates going on and cars going out.
What These Plate Screws Are Made Of
Each screw is self-tapping steel with a protective zinc clear finish for corrosion resistance. The tip is a cone point: it comes to a point, which helps the screw start in the hole. The hex washer head has the washer built in, so there’s no loose washer to drop in the parking lot. The head is a combo drive: use a slotted screwdriver, or a hex wrench or socket, whichever is closer.
What makes this one worth keeping in the garage:
- Metric size: M6 x 16mm (6mm x 16mm), 16mm length under the head
- Hex washer head
- Combo drive: slotted screwdriver or hex wrench/socket
- Self-tapping steel with a cone point
- Protective zinc clear finish for corrosion resistance
- Mounts the plate with or without a plate frame
- Pack of 100
How to Install Metric License Plate Screws
- Line up the plate, and the frame if you use one, with the mounting holes on the car.
- Start each screw by hand so it threads in straight.
- Tighten with a slotted screwdriver or a hex socket until the plate sits snug.
Tip: Not sure whether a car takes metric or #14? Check one of the old screws from that car before you order.
Metric or #14 Plate Screws?
These metric license plate screws are M6 x 16mm. Our Car Dealer License Plate Screws have the same slotted hex head in #14 x 3/4″, the size for most American vehicles. Many lots keep both sizes on the shelf. For a dealer plate that moves from car to car all day, look at our License Plate Thumb Screws or the Rubber Coated Dealer Tag License Plate Magnets.
