Fixing and buying guide

What you are buying

This is a pack of 200 woodscrews, gauge 10g, 60mm in length with a 5mm head diameter. Each screw features a reinforced double angle head that self-countersinks into timber, eliminating the need for pre-drilling countersink holes. The PoziSquare recess combines pozidriv and square drive compatibility, allowing use with both PH and PZ drivers. A quick start point enables rapid starting with minimal force, whilst the slotted shank design reduces the risk of wood splitting during installation.

• Gauge: 10g
• Length: 60mm
• Head type: Double countersunk (csk)
• Recess: PoziSquare with anti-camout technology
• Finish: Zinc yellow plated
• Pack quantity: 200 screws
• No ribs on shank — ideal for use with hinges and fittings

Who these screws are for

These screws suit professional carpenters, joiners, and experienced DIY users who require consistent quality and reliable performance. They are particularly valuable when appearance matters, as the self-countersinking head produces a neat, flush finish without additional preparation. The PoziSquare recess and anti-camout design make them suitable for high-volume work and repetitive fixing tasks where driver slip and screw damage must be minimised.

Compatibility and sizing

At 60mm length, these screws are suitable for joining timber components of moderate thickness, such as fixing hinges to doors, assembling cabinet frames, and general carpentry work. The 10g gauge provides good holding power without excessive bulk. The PoziSquare recess accepts both pozidriv (PH) and square drive (PZ) bits, offering flexibility if you have either driver type available. The absence of ribs on the shank makes them compatible with hinges and metal fittings without fouling.

• Suitable for timber-to-timber fixing
• Compatible with PH and PZ drivers
• Self-countersinking — no pre-drilling of countersink required
• Zinc yellow plating suitable for internal and external use

Before you install

Check that your timber is dry and free from knots or obstructions along the intended screw path. For hardwoods or dense timber, consider pre-drilling a pilot hole to reduce splitting risk and ease installation. Ensure your driver bit is in good condition and sits fully in the PoziSquare recess to prevent camout. The quick start point allows you to begin driving with minimal force; apply steady, controlled pressure rather than high speed to maintain control and avoid breakage. The self-countersinking head will seat flush with the timber surface as you drive — stop when the head is fully seated.
