FAQs

What size drill bit should I use for pre-drilling?

Use a drill bit slightly smaller than the screw's diameter to create a pilot hole.

Can these screws be used outdoors?

While the black phosphate coating offers some corrosion resistance, these screws are best suited for indoor use. For outdoor applications, consider screws specifically designed for outdoor environments.

What is the head type of these screws?

These screws have a countersunk head, which allows them to sit flush with the plasterboard surface.

What materials are these screws made of?

They are made of durable carbon steel with a black phosphate coating.

Are these screws suitable for use with drywall?

Yes, they are suitable for use with plasterboard, which is often referred to as drywall.

How many screws are included in the pack?

The pack contains 200 screws.

What is the length and diameter of the screws?

The screws are 90mm in length and have a 4.8mm diameter.

Troubleshooting

Screw head stripping or not sinking flush.

Reduce driving speed or use a lower torque setting on your drill. Ensure the correct bit type is used. Check for obstructions.

Screw breaks during installation.

Pre-drill pilot holes, particularly when working with hardwoods or dense materials.

Screw not gripping properly in metal or wood.

Ensure the correct screw length is used. If working with wood, ensure that the wood isn't rotten.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable carbon steel construction provides long-lasting performance.
  • Black phosphate coating enhances corrosion resistance.
  • Suitable for both metal and wood applications, increasing versatility.
  • Countersunk head allows for a flush and clean finish.
  • Partially threaded design ensures a strong grip.

Cons

  • Requires pre-drilling in harder materials, which adds an extra step.

  • The black finish might be visible if not properly concealed.
  • Specific length (90mm) might not suit all project requirements.
  • Requires the correct drill bit for optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure the plasterboard and the underlying metal or wood frame are correctly aligned.
  2. Pre-drilling: For hard materials, pre-drill pilot holes to prevent screw breakage.
  3. Driving the Screws: Use a screw gun or drill with a suitable bit to drive the screws straight, ensuring the head sits flush with the plasterboard surface.
  4. Compatibility: These screws are compatible with most standard plasterboard types.
  5. Care: Avoid over-tightening, as this can damage the plasterboard or strip the screw hole.
