Why Do Some Cars Have Two Screw License Plate Attachments and Some Have Four Screw Attachments?


The number of screws used to attach license plates to cars, SUV’s and trucks can vary based on factors such as local regulations, the design of the license plate bracket on the vehicle and manufacturer preferences.

Two-screw attachments are common and often sufficient for most vehicles. They provide a secure enough hold for the license plate and are relatively easy to install and remove when necessary. On the other hand, some vehicles may come with a four-screw attachment system, which might be implemented for a few reasons:

Stability: A four-screw attachment can offer increased stability and reduce the likelihood of the license plate vibrating or becoming loose while driving.

Local regulations: In some regions, local laws or regulations might require a four-screw attachment for added security or specific vehicle types.

Vehicle design: Certain vehicle models may have a license plate bracket that accommodates four screws more effectively, ensuring a proper fit and preventing bending or warping of the plate.

Aesthetics: Some car owners or manufacturers may prefer the appearance of a license plate attached with four screws, as it can appear more symmetrical and visually appealing.

In any case, the number of screws used for attaching license plates is not necessarily an indicator of the vehicle's quality or performance; it is mostly a matter of design, regulation, and personal preference. The good news is StreamlineJK has engineered our license plate frames to work with 2-hole attachments and 4-hole attachments. All the parts are included to attach the plates and make them look great.
