The screws are 25mm in length.

What materials can I use these screws with?

How do I prevent the screws from rusting?

Store the screws in a dry place. For exterior applications, consider using a sealant.

Can I use these screws for heavy-duty applications?

How do I install the screws?

Insert the screw through the hole, place the nut on the back, and tighten with a wrench or pliers. Make sure the screw head is flush.

Troubleshooting

Screw head not flush with the surface.

Ensure the countersunk hole is deep enough. Tighten the screw until it sits flush. If necessary, use a countersink bit to create a deeper recess.

Difficulty tightening the nut.

Ensure the threads are aligned and clear of debris. Use the correct size wrench or pliers. Apply lubricant if necessary.

Screw or nut corroding.

Ensure the screw and nut are stored in a dry place. For outdoor use, consider applying a sealant or using screws and nuts with higher corrosion resistance.

Screw stripping the material.

Avoid over-tightening. Use the correct screw size for the material. Consider using a pilot hole if pre-drilling.
