FAQs

What size screw should I use?

What type of screwdriver bit do I need?

You will need a Pozi screwdriver bit.

What materials are these screws suitable for?

What is Tri-Lock threadform?

The Tri-Lock threadform prevents the screws from working loose over time.

Troubleshooting

Screw is difficult to drive in.

Ensure you are using the correct screwdriver bit and apply firm, steady pressure. If the wood is particularly dense, consider pre-drilling a pilot hole.

Screw head is not flush.

Check for obstructions under the head. If the board is slightly uneven, use a countersinking tool to create a recess for the screw head.

Squeaking continues after installation.

Ensure the screw is fully engaged and the board is securely fastened. Check for any movement in the subfloor.
