Screw/Nut specifications?

I need to get some extra screws and nuts for my assembly.  What are the "specs" for them mainly m5 and m3.  Thread pitch/Head height etc.  I know I can order more but I would rather just pick some up locally.

 

Thanks!

RE: Screw/Nut specifications?

"Mx" is the standardized specification, not only fastener diameter but also threading. So any "M3" threaded item will fit the nuts as they all have a 0.5mm pitch. (Non-standard items are designated differently, e.g. M3x??, where ?? is the pitch)  Head height should be fine regardless so long as it matches, they are "socket head" type screws for M3, and "button head" for the M5s.
