• Countersunk head — sits flush with the surface, can be concealed with a cover cap if required
• Sharp point — drives easily even without a pre‑drilled hole, cuts down working time
• Zinc coating — provides good resistance to rust and corrosion under indoor conditions
• Hardened steel — high resistance to breaking and bending; screwdriver bit will not slip
• Standard size — widely used and readily available in any workshop
• 1,000‑piece pack — lowers unit cost and offers stock‑holding benefits for frequently used sizes

Installation & Assembly Recommendations

• Pre‑drilling is recommended for thin materials to prevent panel cracking
• Drive the screw at a true right angle; incorrect angles reduce thread grip
• Apply appropriate torque with your driver; over‑tightening will snap the screw or strip the head
• Follow the grain of the wood; excessive speed generates heat and weakens the hold
• Select screw length according to material thickness — should penetrate at least two‑thirds of the receiving material
• Zinc coating is ideal for indoor use; choose stainless steel for permanent damp or outdoor environments
• Store in dry conditions; prolonged exposure to moisture shortens coating life
• Check material thickness to avoid the point breaking through the far side

Frequently Asked Questions

Is pre‑drilling necessary?
May not be needed in softwood; drilling a pilot hole is recommended in hardwood, MDF, and particleboard to prevent splitting and cracking.

Suitable for metal?
No — this screw is designed for wood and fibre‑based panels only; it will not form a secure thread in metal.

Can I get a different head type?
Standard version is countersunk; other head styles (pan head, hex head, etc.) are available under separate product codes.

Is there a stainless steel version?
Yes — stainless steel variants are available for outdoor and wet‑area applications.

Are other diameters and lengths available?
Additional lengths in 2.5 mm diameter are available, as well as thicker screws in sizes 3.5 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, and 6 mm under the same brand.
