Standard Socket Head Screws

Socket cap screws are commonly used in machine parts, tool and dies, and clamping applications. The socket head is the strongest style and enables driving where there is not sufficient space for wrenches.

Button Head Socket Screws

Super-durable, with raised dome heads and hexagon-shaped drive hole, our button head socket cap screws are ideal for machine assembly and manufacturing applications. Typically driven with hex keys and allen wrenches, our regular stock of button head socket cap screws are available in alloy steel with a thermal black finish.

Flat Head Socket Screws

Our alloy-steel, flat head socket cap screws allow for a flat, smooth surface after installation. Ideal for applications with limited space for wrenches or sockets, these cap screws are durable, made in the USA, and expertly finished with a thermal black protective coating.

Dowel Pins

Kerr Lakeside also manufactures the industry's most reliable dowel pins. Inserted into receiving holes, dowel pins hold together parts of an assembly with friction. They may also be used as location pins. Dowel pins are common in the automotive and aerospace industries.

Founded in 1948 by the late Charles L. Kerr, the company remains a family run institution that is now managed by the third and fourth generations. Under the guidance of the late Richard W. Kerr, who worked at Kerr Lakeside from 1949 to 2014, the company diversified from its early beginnings as a small hand screw machine and secondary operation facility to a manufacturer capable of many part configurations on its over 100 pieces of manufacturing equipment. Under the current leadership of CEO, Charles L. Kerr II, Kerr Lakeside has grown by setting the standard in producing quality products that other manufacturers could not deliver.

In their 150,000 square foot manufacturing facility, Kerr's dedicated employees, with over 1,300 years of collective experience, produce the highest quality fasteners available today. Quality products and quick delivery of in-stock standard items are the hallmarks of Kerr Lakeside. They inspect parts both in-process and prior to shipment. In-stock items are shipped the same day as the order is received. Kerr Lakeside maintains an ISO 9001-2015 certification and operates an in house testing laboratory accredited by A2LA (Certificate # 0159.01) to ISO-17025-2017.
