Although it looks like most references to built in standoff are for computers there appear to be no references for built in screw posts at all. There does seem to be an implicit meaning that standoff is to hold something at a specific level rather then just provide an anchor point for a shorter screw but with no references in a quick search I think a combination of screw post like a standoff might be the best term. | |

| Jun 2, 2014 at 10:12 | comment | added | Frank | No doubt your question will be off-topic here as it relates to screws and not English but I would think they would still fall under the generic term 'screw posts' even though they are fabricated as part of the box and not as a separate item which goes through the box from both sides. Search for screw posts and maybe Chicago screws. | |
