Forgefix Concrete Frame Screw - 7.5 x 72mm - Yellow

These screws are suitable for fixing frames into all common building and frame materials, including concrete, brick, various types of blocks (e.g., breeze block, concrete block), and natural stone.

No, one of the key benefits of these screws is that they are designed to be used without additional wall plugs. They create their own secure fixing directly into the pre-drilled hole.

You must use a 6mm masonry drill bit to create the pilot hole before inserting the screw.

These screws require a T30 Torx driver bit for installation. Ensure the bit is correctly seated to prevent stripping.

Each screw has a diameter of 7.5mm and a length of 72mm.

This specific product (MPN: 10CFS72) comes in a pack of 10 screws.

Check that the pilot hole was drilled with the correct 6mm drill bit. If the hole is too small or shallow, the screw may bind. Re-drill or deepen the hole if necessary. Ensure the masonry material is not excessively hard; some dense materials may require a slightly larger pilot hole or a more powerful driver.

Ensure you are using the correct T30 Torx driver bit. Verify that the bit is fully seated in the screw head before driving. Apply firm, consistent pressure directly in line with the screw to prevent the bit from disengaging. Avoid using worn or damaged driver bits.

Confirm that the pilot hole was not over-drilled (i.e., too large or drilled loosely). Ensure the material you are fixing into is sound and not crumbling. If the material is weak, consider repositioning the screw or using a different fixing method more suitable for the substrate.

This can occur due to excessive force, an undersized pilot hole, or extremely dense material. Ensure the 6mm pilot hole is adequate and avoid over-tightening. If breaking persists, verify the material is suitable for this type of screw or consider alternative fixing methods.
