The Timco Coach Screws (6.0 x 80mm) are engineered for heavy-duty timber-to-timber fastening, making them an essential hardware solution for DIYers and contractors alike. These zinc-plated fasteners offer superior durability and are ideal for securing ironmongery or masonry connections when used with appropriate wall plugs. While they provide excellent holding power, users should note that pre-drilling is often necessary when working with dense hardwoods to prevent timber splitting.

While softwoods may not require it, it is highly recommended to pre-drill when working with hardwoods to prevent splitting.
They feature a zinc finish which provides some corrosion resistance, but for coastal or highly exposed areas, stainless steel alternatives might be preferable.
The hex head size typically matches standard metric socket sets; verify the size of the bolt head before starting.
Yes, but they must be used in conjunction with a compatible nylon plug to create a secure anchor point.
The thread covers approximately two-thirds of the total 80mm length of the screw.
The timber is likely too dense. Remove the screw and drill a pilot hole approximately 75% of the screw diameter.
Ensure the socket tool is the correct size and fully seated on the hex head before applying force.
The hole might be too wide for the plug or the plug is not expanding correctly; consider using a high-grip expansion wall plug.
To ensure the best performance, pair these screws with appropriate washers if attaching soft materials to prevent the hex head from sinking into the timber. When used with masonry, always check that the nylon plug is rated for the diameter of the screw. While the zinc plating offers good protection, these screws are best kept in a dry environment to maximize longevity. Periodically check the tightness of the screws in high-vibration applications, such as gate hinges, as natural timber movement can occur over time.
