How to Choose the Right Blind Rivets
RivetFast offers a complete range of blind rivets to support reliable fastening across diverse industrial applications.
Base Material
Select rivet material compatible with the workpieces (steel, aluminum, stainless steel) to ensure proper setting and corrosion resistance.
Grip Range
Match the rivet’s grip range to the total material thickness to achieve full expansion and secure fastening.
Load Requirements
Choose standard or structural blind rivets based on required tensile and shear strength.
Rivet Type
Standard, multi-grip, closed-end, or structural designs address different installation and performance needs.
Head Style
Dome, large flange, or countersunk heads affect load distribution, appearance, and flushness.
Application Environment
Use closed-end or stainless steel blind rivets for moisture, vibration, or corrosive conditions.
Typical Applications of Blind Rivets
Blind rivets are widely used across industries such as:
Different applications require different blind rivet designs to ensure reliable fastening performance.

FAQ – Blind Rivets
Q1. How do I choose the right blind rivet type for my application?
Start with the material thickness, joint requirements, sealing needs, base materials, and application environment. Open-End Blind Rivets are commonly used for general fastening, Multi-Grip Blind Rivets are suitable when material thickness may vary, Closed-End Blind Rivets are used when a sealed rivet body is required, and Structural Blind Rivets are designed for more demanding load and joint requirements. Use the Blind Rivet Quick Selection Guide above to compare available blind rivet types and identify a suitable option for your application.
Q2. How do I choose the correct blind rivet diameter and grip range?
Select the blind rivet diameter based on the required hole size, joint design, and application requirements. The grip range should cover the total combined thickness of the materials being joined. When selecting a blind rivet size, check the available diameter, grip range, and hole requirements in the Blind Rivet Quick Selection Guide or detailed product specifications to ensure the rivet matches your joint requirements.
Q3. How do I choose the right blind rivet material and head style?
Blind rivet material selection depends on the required performance, corrosion resistance, materials being joined, and working environment. Aluminum Blind Rivets are commonly selected for lightweight applications, Steel Blind Rivets for general fastening where higher strength is required, and Stainless Steel Blind Rivets where greater corrosion resistance is important. Head style should also match the joint design: Dome Head Blind Rivets are commonly used for general fastening, Large Flange Blind Rivets provide a larger bearing area, and Countersunk Blind Rivets are used when a flush surface is required. See our guide to Blind Rivet Head Types for more information.
Q4. Which blind rivets are suitable for thin materials?
For thin, soft, or easily deformed materials, blind rivets with a larger bearing area may be suitable depending on the joint design. Large Flange Blind Rivets, Peel-Type Blind Rivets, and Tri-Fold Blind Rivets are commonly considered when reducing local deformation or pull-through is important. The appropriate blind rivet depends on the material, thickness, hole size, grip range, and joint requirements, so the complete application should be considered rather than material thickness alone.
Q5. Can you manufacture custom blind rivets to a drawing?
Yes. RivetFast supports custom blind rivet development and production based on drawings, specifications, or samples. Depending on the application, custom specifications may include rivet diameter, length, grip range, head style, material, mandrel configuration, surface finish, marking, and packaging requirements. Send us your drawing, specification, sample, or existing
Q6. What information should I provide if I am not sure which blind rivet I need?
Send us any information you have, such as the application, rivet diameter or hole size, material thickness, preferred material, head style, quantity, drawing, photo, or existing part number. You do not need to know the complete blind rivet specification before contacting us. Based on the information available, RivetFast can help review the application and confirm a suitable blind rivet type and specification before quotation.
