FAQs

What materials can these screws be used with?

These screws are suitable for use with softwoods, hardwoods, chipboards, and fibreboards.

What type of screwdriver bit do I need?

You need a Pozi-drive screwdriver bit.

Do I need to pre-drill holes?

Pre-drilling is recommended for hardwoods and dense materials to prevent splitting.

What does the zinc yellow passivated finish do?

It provides corrosion resistance, which increases the screw's lifespan.

Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the zinc yellow passivated finish provides good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for many outdoor applications.

What is the benefit of the wax coating?

The wax coating increases the speed and ease of insertion.

How do I ensure a flush finish?

Use a countersinking bit or ensure the screw head is flush with the surface after insertion.

Troubleshooting

Screw head strips during insertion.

Ensure the correct size and type of screwdriver bit is used. Reduce the driving speed, or pre-drill a pilot hole.
