Blind Rivets

This type of rivet is specifically called a blind rivet because it can be installed without access to the back side of the item being riveted. Due to this feature, blind industrial rivets are mainly used when access to the joint is only available from one side. The blind pop rivet is placed in a pre-drilled hole and is set by pulling the mandrel head into the rivet body, which expands the blind rivet causing it to flare against the reverse side.

Blind Rivet Installation Process

Blind rivets are installed through a tight hole that passes through the materials being riveted. A riveter is used to pull the mandrel back while holding the rivet in place. As the mandrel is pulled back it deforms the rivet pushing the sides outward until the mandrel snaps. This expanded size forms the back side of the rivet, which holds the materials together.

Blind Rivet Uses

There are numerous ways in which a blind pop rivet can be used. Unlike other types of rivets, blind industrial rivets can be used to fasten wooden or plastic materials other than metal. Blind rivets can fasten metals, wood, and plastic even if there is no access to the back part of the material. If the front part is accessible, the rivet can be set into place. More typical blind rivet uses, include:

Attaching name plates & signs
Building or home applications
Woodworking applications
Attaching hinges
Fastening wall or ceiling decorations
Attaching door knobs & handles
Industrial applications
