Performore Silver Aluminum Screw Posts 1 1/4 Inch vs Performore Chicago Screw Post Binding Screws 25mm

These are the same Performore binding post in two finishes, so the real choice is silver aluminum versus gold brass plating. Both are two-piece screw-and-post fasteners that assemble from one side and let you add or remove pages without redoing the whole binding. Owners of this style of post like the easy re-editing; the common complaints are posts loosening over time and threads that strip if over-tightened. Pick the finish that matches your project, and buy the longer post if you are binding thick stacks.

• Choose the Performore silver aluminum posts if you want a neutral silver finish for documents, menus, swatch books or photo albums where the hardware should disappear.
• Choose the Performore brass-plated posts if you want a warm gold look for leather repair, scrapbooks or albums, or a finish that reads as decorative rather than industrial.
