Yes, the bolts/screws are metal and this kennel is accepted by the airlines. I travelled with 2 dogs in separate crates via airline smoothly.

These are titanium , if your worried about them stripping like aluminum you won't have that problem , still be cautious using an air gun , always tighten by hand.

Hello, They are metal bolts with plastic twists on each end to hold the two pieces together. Not sure what size this particular model takes, but here is an example of what they look like: http://www.petmate.com/hardware-78-screw Ryan SJK Products Inc.

This crate flew United from Hawaii to Maine without modification. It has metal bolts with plastic nuts. It has two bowls. It had, I believe, two live animal stickers, but the airline provided their own anyway.

The cast aluminum is not threaded. I used the original bolts and they worked fine.

Amazon warranty I guess? I mean in the end its just metal and operates on leverage. It WILL wear out depending on how strong the bolts are built. For big bolts I'd think you'd need a bigger/industrial level tool.

I don't believe so. The bolts have a Torx head which requires a Torx driver, which is available at any tool or hardware store. You could also go to your local Ace Hardware and buy the 4 bolts. Hope that helps : )

Good question. The wing section and engines may contain some metal but the fuselage, tail section, and landing gear are plastic. I'm not sure that this model satisfies the definition of a "diecast metal model".

You need to contact the manufacturer. I am a customer who bought these and the legs to make mysef a footstool. I don't have ANY expertise eon these, the screws or anything else. I just bought them and put them onto my footstool. They worked for me. I don't know what else they work for and I am sorry. I have had several inquiries about these and the bolts and I'm not the one to ask. Amazon and Waddell are. Sorry I'm sure that isn't what you wanted to hear, but it's the truth.

I don't think it has any metal, so technically yes. But I'm 99% sure most airports TSA's make you remove the child (even if they are sleeping) from carriers to get through the check point. Just one of their stupid rules.

Yes ..they are designed to replaced the original hardware that contains plastic parts...some airlines require all metal now ...that is what these are for and yes will fit any size kennel.

I believe the one I have is all metal. The rollers rotate on a steel bolt that is the bearing, as the rotation is not at a high rate of speed.

The bolts show, but they are stainless steel. The bolts and threaded clips are included. Good kit.

I actually have this answered in my review. These bolts are a one time use.

No, Mine did not and one of the Tabs were broken but they sent me another one. The Bolts can be found at any local Bolt shop. I found replacements for under 5 dollars. Hope that helps.

The metal content is not identified, but if the Amazon vendor can't answer your question, the label does list this product as Manufactured and Distributed by Midwest Air Technologies, Inc. in Lincolnshire, IL 60069 and also says "Made in China". If you get an answer, would you leave it on the product's page?

Yes, the bolts included are high quality nylon. You might want to consider substituting them with stainless steel bolts, however. My advice would be to try the nylon ones and see if the unit feels secure to you. I went with steel for my mother-in-law, but only because I'm a hardware store geek and this offered one more reason to go shopping.
