Any idea how to affix the screw-on male end of a snap to metal? Specifically, I would like to attach two male ends to a screen door frame.

Predrill hole 1/8 inch or 9/64 depends on screw that's in it. Then screw in

Drill a hole slightly smaller than the thread diameter, and you should be able to screw them into the drilled hole. If the frame is aluminum it will be easier and the hole can be a little smaller so the threads will get a good grip on the soft aluminum.

The male ends should have a hole in them for a screw to go through, you can attach them by using a metal screw.

Not truly sure we understand the question. The male end of the snap has a screw head/portion to it that should screw into the frame. Sorry, the best we could do.

Mine snapped on easily... do note that top snap tabs (mating tabs) are only on two sides and must line up with the similar taps on box which likewise are only on two sides... if you rotate the top one quarter turn the tabs do not line up.

I wall mounted it using 1/2 hard copper with male pipe thread ends soldered to right angle fittings and attached to the framing with clamps. I had to make sure I ordered the one with 1/2 14 NPT fittings to do this. Very nice part, very solid this way.

Yes, that's the way I assembled mine. I believe they are screws meant just for this sort of plastic. I've had no issues with mine since installation.

No, you can not screw on attachments to the end of it. It has a small eyelet on the end of it.

I'm not sure if this is possible with the supplied hardware (screws), however with the right application (if hollow metal) maybe metal screw and adhesive. if solid metal (drill pilot hole and use metal to metal screw) maybe.

google it. a man made a you tube video showing how to do it. you need a screw driver.

It should be mountable using a toggler into the metal stud. Did you end up installing it? I used 3 snap toggles into drywall, and 3 self-tapping sheet metal screws into the metal studs, so far it has held up. Good luck!

That is exactly my scenario...just attach everything to the metal...pretty easy install

The female end. Once this is installed to your battery, the male end could easily contact metal and, if it was a positive end ,it could short out or worse!

As I recall, they don't snap on, you slide them over the ends first, before you attach the top. I think that's how I did it.

I used the Dritz Heavy Duty Snap Fastener Plier Kit it was shown where the snaps were.....

I fabricated a simple L-shaped spacer from some scrap 1/8" aluminum. Sheet metal screw came from parts at home. Both would be easily purchased at any hardware, Home Depot, etc.

I have only been using it to replace snaps that failed. Already had the hole in place. But I don't think it will create the hole. You best try an awl or similarly pointed object to create the opening for the 'stem' of the top snap to pass through.

I don't know about plastic snaps , I used it on the snaps on the bed cover on a pickup to fix a couple and it worked great . I would think if the inner piece is metal or brass and outer is plastic it would work just fine.

The ones I replaced had metal ends. The metal ends when inside a very tight opening. I found similar metal ends on here on Amazon and on Ebay. The ends are v shaped, you put the metal band inside. There are teeth inside the Vs which grabbed really well after I hammered them shut. I am guessing sheet metal screws may work for your application, maybe you can use a rivet set to put a stud or button with an opening then attach with a sheet metal screw.

i made one with parts at a home depot... i was not able to but one that fit the unique key.. but metal piping used for electronics that is reinforced and then mounted seem to work great!
