The pilot hole should be slightly smaller than the 5mm diameter of the screw.

Can these screws be used outdoors?

While the yellow zinc plating provides some corrosion resistance, these screws are best suited for indoor applications. For outdoor projects, consider using screws specifically designed for outdoor use.

What type of screwdriver bit is required?

A Phillips head screwdriver bit is required.

What materials are these screws best suited for?

These screws are best suited for use on plasterboard and similar materials.

Are these screws load-bearing?

These screws are suitable for general DIY applications but not designed for heavy-duty load-bearing purposes. Ensure appropriate fixings for structural work.

What is the length of the screws?

The screws are 20mm in length.

How many screws are in a pack?

There are 100 screws in a pack.

What is the diameter of the screws?

The diameter of the screws is 5mm.

Troubleshooting

Screw head strips or doesn't sit flush.

Ensure you are using the correct size and type of screwdriver bit. Pre-drill the pilot hole properly to the correct depth and diameter.

Screw doesn't grip the material properly.

Ensure the screw length is appropriate for the thickness of the material. If the screw is too short, the threads won't fully engage. If the material is dense, try using a screw with a coarser thread.

Screw breaks during insertion.

Reduce the driving speed and pressure. Pre-drill a larger pilot hole if the material is particularly hard. Use a screw with a higher tensile strength for demanding applications.
