Short die-cast wood inserts – compact metal threaded inserts for thin wood panels & furniture production (M5 / M6)


Compact die-cast wood inserts for industrial furniture, flat-pack and woodworking production

Our short die-cast wood inserts offer a reliable metallic internal thread (M5 or M6) embedded into soft wood, MDF, particleboard, plywood or other thin wood panels — ideal for manufacturers, furniture producers, joinery workshops and B2B clients requiring cost-efficient, reproducible screw-in fixings for thin or delicate wooden parts.

Made from die-cast zinc-plated alloy with conical outer thread and sealing collar, these inserts allow efficient mounting even in very thin material (e.g. chair seats, thin panels), without risk of over-insertion or damaging the wood. 

Description

Size, geometry & intended applications

  • Thread size: M5 or M6 internal metric thread.

  • Insert length: 7 mm — compact format perfect for thin panels, seat shells, MDF or particleboard.

  • Outer thread: conical screw-in wood/threaded wood profile — ensures secure anchoring without special machining.

  • Drive type: hex (Allen) drive — easy screw-in installation with standard 620 tools.

  • Material: die-cast zinc-plated non-ferrous alloy (zinc-based die casting) — provides good corrosion resistance, cost efficiency and sufficient strength for light to medium duty fastening.

  • Feature: sealing collar prevents over-threading — protects thin panels against damage even if a longer bolt is used by mistake.


Long-tail use cases — where our short die-cast wood inserts excel

  • Screw-in inserts for flat-pack furniture: chairs, stools, wardrobes, modular furniture, budget furniture lines.

  • Fixings for thin wooden seat shells, chair bottoms, thin plywood or MDF panels — ideal for furniture manufacturers and contract furniture suppliers.

  • Inserts for assembly of cabinetry, kitchen furniture, office furniture or retail fixtures requiring thin wall panels but strong screw threads.

  • Lockable threaded insert solutions for furniture in kit-form, easy assembly / disassembly — perfect for OEM furniture production, contract fit-outs, modular interiors.

  • Economical inserts for high-volume furniture series production where cost per fixing point must be minimal without compromising reliability.


Advantages for B2B manufacturers — durability, efficiency, cost control

  • Provides a metal thread in wood or thin panels — far more durable than direct wood screws or blind fixings. This improves product longevity and reduces returns due to thread stripping.

  • Compact and cost-efficient — low material cost (die-cast zinc alloy), optimized for series production or high volume orders.

  • Simplified installation — no tapping required, easy screw-in with hex key saves assembly time and labour costs.

  • Suitable for thin or delicate wooden parts — sealing collar prevents over-insertion, ensuring safety even in thin seat shells or panel furniture.

  • Versatile across applications — ideal for flat-pack furniture, modular interior systems, cabinetry, office furniture, and other B2B-woodworking or contract projects.


When to use short die-cast wood inserts vs steel / long inserts

Use short die-cast wood inserts when:

  • the base material is soft wood, MDF, particleboard or thin plywood

  • wall-thickness is limited (thin panels, seat shells, furniture kits)

  • cost per insert must remain minimal (high-volume production)

  • load requirements are light to medium and does not involve heavy structural stress

If your application requires repeated assembly/disassembly, heavy loads, use in hardwood or high-strength demands — consider steel or stainless-steel wood inserts or long threaded inserts for higher wear-resistance and durability.
