I am looking for some covers or caps to cover screws. Found some on mcmaster carr. Do they have a minmum order? Can't find any info on such on there website. Here is a link thinking the hinged caps at the bottom of page, would like the snap caps but am looking at needing a couple hundred caps.

Have thought of using steel snaps with screw through male part, but $$$.
Thanks

I have ordered from McMaster-Carr and they do not have a minimum order as far as I know. The hinged ones you are looking at come in boxes of 100 only so you should be fine.

Ok, thanks, thought I had read a minimum order on here, but searched and there were alot of threads with Mcmaster carr, so thought I would come right out and ask.
Thanks

I use quite a bit of these for our sign installations and the hinged ones are ok, but the two piece are really nice. Here is a link to the people I found. They say to call for quote, but don't let that scare you, they are really cheap. They also have a bazillion colors, no . . . really, no exaggeration.

If you cant get what you want over there, try looking for "number plate screw caps " on an english site. We use them all the time over here for holding on our licence plates, usualy bought in packs of 100+

I have had great success with this TX company. I received their electroplated copper and am very pleased with it. They also have a "bazillion" colors.

For all you UK builders, these could be good.... (certainly an improvement on the type of thing you used to get with all the odds & sods to assemble an MFI wardrobe!)
