FAQs
What is the benefit of the Tri-Lock thread?
The Tri-Lock thread expands the wood around the screw, providing a tight and secure hold that prevents loosening.
What is Net-Coat plating?
Net-Coat plating is a corrosion-resistant coating that protects the screws from the elements, providing over 1000 hours of protection.
Do I need to pre-drill when using Deck-Tite screws?
In many applications, pre-drilling is not necessary due to the CPT hardened core. However, it may be needed for hardwoods or to prevent splitting.
What is the recommended screw length for decking?
The screw length depends on the thickness of your decking material and the supporting structure. Ensure the screw penetrates sufficiently into the substructure for a secure hold.
Can I use Deck-Tite screws with composite decking?
Yes, Deck-Tite screws are compatible with most composite decking materials. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations.
How do I prevent the screws from rusting?
Deck-Tite screws are designed to resist rust thanks to their Net-Coat plating. Ensure the screws are not damaged during installation, and inspect them regularly.
What is the advantage of the double collar?
The double collar provides strength and allows for a deeper recess, reducing cam-out and ensuring a more secure drive.
Where are Deck-Tite screws ideal for use?
They are ideal for use in decking, pressured treated timbers, fencing and outdoor structures.
Troubleshooting
Screw head stripping during installation.
Use the correct bit size and apply even pressure. Reduce the drill speed or use a drill with adjustable torque settings.
Screw not driving in easily.
Ensure the drill is perpendicular to the surface. For hardwoods, pre-drilling a pilot hole may be necessary.
Deck boards lifting or moving.
Ensure screws are fully driven in and the correct screw length has been used. Check for warping in the boards and secure as needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation
- Choose the appropriate screw length for your project, ensuring it penetrates sufficiently into the supporting structure.
- Align the deck boards or other materials.
- Drive the screws using a drill or impact driver with a suitable bit. The double collar allows for a deeper recess to prevent cam-out.

Compatibility
Deck-Tite screws are compatible with most common decking materials, including pressure-treated lumber and composite decking. However, always check the manufacturer's recommendations for your specific decking material.
Care
Regularly inspect your deck or structure for loose screws or signs of corrosion. If any screws are damaged or corroded, replace them promptly. Clean the deck periodically to remove dirt and debris, which can accelerate wear.
