Screw mechanisms for binders: Maximum stability for your archive
In offices, law firms and archives, the reliable storage of documents is essential. Screw mechanisms (often referred to as post mechanisms) are the heavy-duty heroes of filing systems. Unlike traditional ring mechanisms, they offer unrivalled stability for large volumes of paper. At moog & langenscheidt, you will find mechanisms specially developed for use in archive binders and government folders.
The right solution for every capacity
Depending on the volume of your documents, you will require different capacities. We offer our screw-in mechanisms in a range of sizes to enable precise archiving:
- Compact solutions: Mechanisms with 60 mm and 80 mm capacity for handy project folders.
- Large archives: Robust designs in 100 mm and 120 mm for maximum capacity and stable archive boxes.
- Material quality: High-quality metalwork ensures that the mechanism closes securely and does not warp, even after years in the archive.
Why choose screw mechanisms for archiving?
Wherever documents need to remain securely closed for long periods, screw and latch mechanisms really come into their own. They prevent sheets from slipping out accidentally and keep the stack of files compactly together. This is particularly important in environments where folders are stored upright or frequently transported. The simple yet effective screw mechanism ensures that your filing system always functions smoothly.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

That depends on the number of sheets. As a rule of thumb, 10 mm capacity corresponds to approximately 100 sheets of standard paper (80 g/m²). A 100 mm mechanism can therefore hold up to 1,000 sheets.
