T-Nuts

T-Nuts

When a bolt needs a clean, flush anchor in wood or composite, T-nuts are the hardware for the job. They press or lock into the material on one side and provide a bolt with a threaded hold on the other side. For more nuts, bolts and fasteners built for the full range of working projects, Tractor Supply has you covered.

Threaded Inserts Built for Home Improvement Work

A T-nut is a one-piece fastener that is installed from one face of a panel, providing a bolt with a permanent threaded anchor on the opposite side. That design makes them standard hardware in home improvement projects, workshop jigs and furniture where back-side access isn’t an option. Zinc-plated steel constructions resist corrosion in storage and indoor use. Coarse thread patterns, which are standard across T-nuts, grip wood and composite more reliably than fine threads and are less likely to strip during installation.

Prong-Style Panel Inserts

Prongs extend from the base and bite into surrounding wood fibers as the fastener is driven in, locking the insert against rotation without extra hardware. That anchoring action makes long-prong T-nuts a clean, reliable choice for softwood and most panel materials. They suit builds where speed and simplicity matter, with no pins or secondary fasteners needed to hold them in place. The inserts come in varying lengths to match different material thicknesses, ensuring the bolt has full thread engagement regardless of panel thickness.

Brad-Lock Style for Hardwood and Plywood

Locking without prongs, brad hole T-nuts use small holes in the base that accept a brad nail or pin to prevent spinning as the bolt is tightened. That design suits harder materials such as dense hardwood or layered plywood, where prong-style inserts risk splitting the panel on installation. Our selection covers everything from light cabinetry to heavy-duty panel work. Smaller sizes come in 2-packs, a useful option For Life Out Here or in the shop when a repair calls for just a few inserts.
