FAQs

What is the Tri-Lock thread?

The Tri-Lock thread forms a thread in the material, expanding the wood, then relaxing back around the screw ensuring a tight and locked fix.

Are pilot holes necessary?

While Deck-Tite screws are designed for easy insertion, pre-drilling is recommended for hardwoods or when working near edges.

What is Net-Coat plating?

Net-Coat plating is a protective coating that increases the screw's resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor use.

What is the TDCA DeckMark+ status?

It is an accreditation that signifies the screws meet specific quality and performance standards set by the TDCA (Timber Decking and Cladding Association).

What materials are Deck-Tite screws suitable for?

Deck-Tite screws are designed for use with decking, fencing, and shed materials, including pressure-treated timbers.

What bit is required?

A PZ2 bit is included with the screws.

How do I prevent the screws from loosening?

The Tri-Lock thread design and coarse thread provide a secure hold that prevents loosening over time.

Troubleshooting

Screw head snapping off during installation.

Reduce driving speed or pre-drill a pilot hole, especially in hardwoods.

Screw not sinking flush with the surface.

Adjust the drill's clutch setting or use a countersinking bit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Choose the right screw size: Select the appropriate length for your specific application, considering the thickness of the materials you're joining.
Pre-drilling (recommended): While Deck-Tite screws are designed for easy insertion, pre-drilling is recommended for hardwoods or when working near edges to prevent splitting. Use a drill bit slightly smaller than the screw's core diameter.
Insertion: Drive the screws straight into the material using a drill or screwdriver. Avoid over-tightening.

Compatibility:

Deck-Tite screws are compatible with most common decking, fencing, and shed materials, including pressure-treated timbers.

Care:

Inspect your deck and fencing periodically and re-tighten any loose screws.
Clean the deck or fence regularly to remove debris, which can accelerate corrosion.
If you notice any significant corrosion, consider replacing the affected screws.
