Can you replace the screw with a sheet metal screw?

I have used sheet metal screws on an application and it worked just fine. Be sure the use a similar screw size. Go for it!

Yes. A number 8 size screw is slightly oversize but works very well. A number 6 size would be a little loose and would not have as much bearing area under the head.

It's just a screw. If it's going outside you don't want it to rust. I put mine through aluminum siding. But if you need sheet metal, why not?

The metal screw can be removed from the black plastic clip. Assuming your sheet metal screw is of a similar size, you can likely use it instead.

You can but you can also get these without the screw and just use what you want.

I would think so. As far as I remember using these things the screw can be backed out and another one could be put in.

Should work fine as long as you switch the screws out and get sheet metal screws from your local hardware store.

I do not think so. It comes with a double-side tape thing, but I don't remember screws. I'm sorry I can't tell you definitively.

If they are simply brass trim screws you cam replace the at Home Depot. If u need the long screws I don't know.

I used #8 sheetmetal screws. Rivets would work and 3M 5200 marine adhesive would be great.

I am sorry but calling the manufacturer is a better option as I do not know how to describe those screws... I am a regular customer.. Open box screw in and be done.. Sorry..

No, I don't believe it can be. I guess you could loosen the screws, but that seems to be it, as far as I can tell.

I am not sure you can order the set screw, but I think you could buy a replacement at your local hardware store.

The screw goes all the way through. The metal on the front is part of the screw. Hope that helps

You are going to have to get a metal drill bit and drill holes for the screws. There is no other way as it is plastic.

HelloMy suggestion is to check your local hardware store. It should be a common set screw.

I agree. just need to be careful when replacing the screws so as not to strip the metal.

No, but be careful pull the original out. You can really strip the screws. That's what I did and had to get a new button.

The screw is solid plastic but didn't fit my fan motor (wrong size). I suggest that you plan to find your own replacement screw because different fan motors often have different threads. Some are American Standard, some are metric and there are different sizes of both. The metal cover is great and should last for many years. I'm sorry I didn't get it sooner rather than those poor quality plastic ones from Home Depot.----------Good luck and have a great week end.

They do not. If you can't use your old screws, you should be able to find something that can be used locally.Jeremy

No, but you can use your existing screws. You don't need to buy any new ones.

No, You can not. They have their own a special tool for the screws. I tried to take my old one apart and could not.
