Troubleshooting
Screw is difficult to insert.
Ensure a pilot hole has been drilled. If the material is hard, consider using a larger drill bit to make insertion easier.
Screw head is not flush.
Ensure the countersunk head is seating correctly. Check for debris or obstructions in the pilot hole that may be preventing the screw from sitting flush.
Screw is stripping the material.
Reduce the torque when driving the screw. If the material is soft, consider using a screw with a finer thread or a shorter length.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Setup: Always pre-drill pilot holes before inserting the screws, especially in hard materials or when using with plasterboard. Use a drill bit that matches the screw's diameter.
- Compatibility: These screws are compatible with various materials, including wood, plasterboard, and some plastics. Ensure the screw length is appropriate for the thickness of the materials.
- Care: Store screws in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Avoid over-tightening the screws, which can strip the threads or damage the material.
