FAQs
What type of screwdriver should I use?
A flat head (slotted) screwdriver that precisely fits the screw head slot is recommended to ensure a secure grip and prevent stripping.
Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?
While made of metal, their suitability for outdoor use depends on the environmental conditions. Prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to corrosion.
How many screws are in a pack?
Each pack contains two Dencon Flat Head Screws.
Can these screws be used for mounting heavy items?
Their suitability for heavy items depends on the material they are being screwed into and the number of screws used. For significant weight, consider longer or thicker screws, or appropriate wall anchors.
What are the dimensions of these screws?
Specific dimensions are not provided, but they are designed as standard electrical screws with a flat head.
Can I paint these screws?
Yes, the metal surface can be painted to match surrounding materials, although it's best to do so after installation if possible.
Troubleshooting
Screw head strips during installation
Ensure you are using the correct size and type of screwdriver. Apply firm, consistent pressure and avoid over-tightening.
Screw does not hold securely
Verify the material you are screwing into is suitable for the screw length and diameter. For softer materials, consider using a pilot hole or anchor.
Corrosion on screws
These screws are metal and can corrode if exposed to moisture. Store them in a dry place. If corrosion occurs, the screw may need to be replaced for critical applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Use a screwdriver that matches the flat head slot size to avoid stripping. Ensure the screw is aligned with the pre-drilled hole or the material being fastened.
Compatibility: These screws are compatible with standard screwdrivers and are suitable for use in most electrical applications where flat head screws are specified. They can be used with wood, plastic, and some metal surfaces depending on the application and required hold.
Care: Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. If used in damp conditions, consider their long-term integrity. Clean with a dry cloth if dust accumulates.
