FAQs

Can I use these screws outdoors?

While they feature a corrosion-resistant finish, they are primarily designed for interior woodworking. For harsh, permanent outdoor exposure, stainless steel alternatives are recommended.

Do these require a pilot hole?

Yes, it is highly recommended to drill a pilot hole, particularly when working with hardwoods, to ensure a clean fit and prevent wood splitting.

What is the diameter of these screws?

These are 6G screws, which corresponds to a diameter of approximately 3.5mm.

Are these screws magnetic?

As these are brass-finished woodscrews, the core material may react to a magnet, but the primary material focus is on the bronze aesthetic and wood-holding performance.

How many screws are in a box?

Each box contains 200 individual screws.

What type of screwdriver do I need?

You will need a standard flat-head (slotted) screwdriver that matches the size of the screw head slot.

Troubleshooting

Screw head keeps slipping (cam-out)

Ensure you are using a flat-head screwdriver that fits the slot width perfectly and apply firm, steady downward pressure while turning.

Wood splits during insertion

Always drill an appropriately sized pilot hole before driving the screw, especially when working near the edge of the wood.

Screw is difficult to drive fully into dense wood

Back the screw out and re-drill the pilot hole slightly wider, or apply a small amount of beeswax to the threads to reduce friction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated bronze aesthetic suitable for visible joinery
  • Excellent resistance to corrosion for long-term reliability
  • Generous 200-piece count per box
  • Standardized 6G gauge fits most common wood applications

Cons

  • Slotted heads are more prone to cam-out than modern Pozi or Torx drives
  • Requires pilot holes for hardwood applications to prevent splitting
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty structural load-bearing applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, always drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the 3.5mm shank diameter to prevent wood splitting. Ensure your screwdriver tip fits the slot snugly to avoid damaging the finish or the head. These screws are designed for wood-to-wood joinery. If using these in damp environments, regularly inspect for any signs of surface oxidation, though the protective finish is designed to mitigate this. Store in the original packaging in a dry location to maintain the integrity of the bronze coating.
