Tappan Screws, Nuts, Washers

This shoulder screw secures moving or fixed appliance components by providing a built-in spacer and pivot point for proper alignment and smooth operation. It restores correct fit where a worn or missing shoulder fastener causes play. What it does:

• Provides a precision spacer and pivot for hinges, drawers, or linkage assemblies
• Holds components at the correct distance to prevent rubbing and binding
• Helps stop wobble, misalignment, rattling, or uneven movement when the original shoulder screw is worn or missing
• Works where a headed screw with an integrated shoulder is required for smooth rotation or exact spacing

• One shoulder screw

• Disconnect power and remove the appliance panel or access covers before replacing hardware
• Handle small parts carefully to avoid dropping them into assemblies; magnetic pickup tool can help
• Install in the original location and tighten securely but avoid overtightening; do not modify the shoulder or thread
• If the screw secures a load-bearing hinge or mechanism, verify alignment and operation after installation
