Screws for Adjustable Office Chairs

Admin October 22, 2026

There are various types of screws used in adjustable office chairs, with different specifications employed for different parts and functions. Common types include A4 screws, A2 screws, long self-tapping screws, fixed lifting screws, 6X14 screws, and special inner and outer hexagon screws for office chairs.

During the installation of single-back chairs, multiple types of screws are used. Among them, A4 screws and A2 screws are relatively common. Six A4 screws and eight A2 screws are used, which may be used to connect different parts of the chair, such as fixing the backrest to the seat and the seat to the legs, ensuring a stable connection between each part. There are four long self-tapping screws. The characteristic of self-tapping screws is that they can be screwed directly into the material without pre-drilling. Long self-tapping screws may be used to connect thicker parts or parts that require deeper fixation. There are also four fixed lifting screws, which are crucial for the lifting function of adjustable office chairs. These screws may be installed at key positions in the lifting mechanism to ensure a stable connection between the lifting rod and parts such as the seat, allowing the chair to lift smoothly.

In the installation of another type of screw-lifting chair, 6X14 screws are used to fix the lifting rod to the legs. This specific specification of screw is designed with dimensions that precisely match the mounting holes of the lifting rod and legs, ensuring a strong and stable connection between the two, preventing the chair from loosening or wobbling during lifting.

In addition, there are special inner and outer hexagon screws for office chairs available on the market, such as M8*20 black zinc 8.8-grade inner and outer hexagon screws with anti-slip teeth. The inner and outer hexagon design allows different tools to be used for installation and removal, increasing convenience. The black zinc surface treatment is not only aesthetically pleasing but also provides a certain degree of rust protection. The 8.8-grade indicates the strength grade of the screw, suggesting that it has a high load-bearing capacity. The anti-slip teeth design further enhances the friction between the screw and the connected parts, preventing the screw from loosening during use.
