FAQs

What size drill bit should I use?

Use a drill bit slightly smaller than the 6mm diameter of the screw.

Can I use these screws on wood?

While these screws are designed for plasterboard, they can be used on wood. However, pre-drilling is essential.

What is the purpose of the zinc plating?

The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance, protecting the screw from rust and extending its lifespan.

How many screws are in a pack?

There are 20 screws in a pack.

What is the length of the screws?

The screws are 20mm in length.

Do I need to countersink the holes?

No, these screws are designed with a countersunk head, so they will sit flush with the surface when installed correctly.

Can I use these screws outdoors?

While the zinc plating offers some protection, for outdoor use, consider screws specifically designed for exterior applications.

Troubleshooting

Screw is not holding in the plasterboard.

Ensure you pre-drilled a pilot hole. If the hole is too large, consider using a longer screw or a different fixing method.

Screw head stripping during installation.

Reduce the torque applied when tightening. Make sure the screwdriver bit fits the screw head properly.

Screw is bent or broken.

Ensure the screw is straight before inserting. If the material is too hard, use a stronger screw or pre-drill a larger pilot hole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Begin by pre-drilling pilot holes into the plasterboard using a drill bit slightly smaller than the screw diameter. This step is crucial for preventing the screws from stripping the material.
Compatibility: These screws are specifically designed for plasterboard applications. Ensure the screw length is appropriate for the thickness of the plasterboard and any underlying structures.
Care: Avoid over-tightening the screws, as this can damage the plasterboard. When tightening, stop when the screw head is flush with the surface.
