I'm sure there is a real name for the type of fastner, but I can't for the life of me find it!

and they are NOT capital holder screws!!!
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    I told you to go to Ace Hardware. They are in the drawers of loose screws (not your head image ) and pick out which side you need.

    Typical post and screw. Please overcome the temptation to make a bad joke.

    Plastic screw posts.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    I call them "the screws that hold Capital Holders together". Does that answer your question? imageimage

    When they fall to the floor, they are known as "invisible screws". But from your post title , I guess you already know that.

    You'll find the screws right next to the U-bolts.

    You can go to the Capital web site and find them under the accessories page.

    If you get tired of breaking or losing the plastic screw/post you can buy replacements in metal.

    Post screws. In longer versions they are called Binder Post Screws. For the metal version you can even get extentions that allow you to create them of any length you need.

    I believe the "technical" term for them is "sex-bolts". At least that is what the guys at Fastenal called them.

    I put 'em all into a separate bag, and then put two big rubber bands around the Capitol holders. Much easier that away image

    Another name for that type of fastener is a "T" nut. There are many applications in wood and steel, with numerous types of "heads"

    Was there a serious answer in this thread?

    The backing part is called a "well nut". The screw part is probably simply refered to as a bolt. You can find them at Osh or Home Depot.

    You came to the wrong forum looking for technical advice such as this. Most of these geeks don't have a clue...no offense.
