FAQs

What size pozi screwdriver should I use?

Use a pozi screwdriver that matches the screw head size for the best fit and performance. The correct size will prevent stripping the screw head.

Do I need to pre-drill a pilot hole?

No, the Floor-Tite Tri-Lock Pozi Screw is designed to be driven in without a pilot hole, thanks to its CPT hardened design.

Can I use these screws on plywood?

While these screws are suitable for many flooring types, always check the plywood manufacturer's recommendations. Plywood can vary in density and construction.

How do I remove the screws?

Use a pozi screwdriver to unscrew the Floor-Tite screws. Make sure to apply steady, even pressure to avoid stripping the head.

What is the benefit of the Tri-Lock threadform?

The Tri-Lock threadform prevents the screws from loosening over time, thus eliminating the problem of squeaky boards.

Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?

These screws are zinc and blue-passivated, which provides some corrosion resistance, but they are primarily designed for indoor use. For outdoor applications, consider using screws specifically designed for outdoor environments.

Troubleshooting

Screw is difficult to drive in.

Ensure you are using the correct size pozi screwdriver. Apply steady, firm pressure while driving the screw. If the material is particularly dense, consider using a pilot hole.

Screw head is not flush.

Ensure the ribs under the head are fully countersinking the screw. If the screw is not flush, you can gently drive it further, but avoid over-tightening.

Squeaking persists after installation.

Check all screws to ensure they are properly seated and tightened. If the issue persists, there may be other factors causing the squeak, such as subfloor problems.
