Product Overview:

These precision-engineered mirror screws from Forgefix offer reliable fixing solutions for your mirrors and signage needs. Each screw features a chrome-plated dome with a threaded machine screw-type male insert, paired with a slotted screw head and threaded female shank for secure installations.

The zinc plating provides excellent protection against corrosion, creating a lasting barrier that shields the metal core. Should this protective layer sustain damage, the zinc acts as a sacrificial anode, continuing to protect the underlying metal.

Unlike iron oxide, zinc oxide forms a fine white dust that maintains the substrate's surface integrity, offering ongoing protection similar to aluminium and stainless steel oxide layers.

Key Features:

• Manufactured by Forgefix F and F for consistent quality
• Secure grip in wall plugs for reliable installations
• Single-threaded design for straightforward use
• Protective zinc plating for lasting durability
• Premium chrome-plated dome finish

For optimal results with slotted screws, select a screwdriver tip that matches the slot width perfectly.

While flared tips suit most applications, use a parallel tip when the screw needs to sit below the material surface. This attention to tool selection prevents damage to the screw head and ensures a professional finish.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):

• What surfaces can I install these mirror screws into?
  These screws work effectively with wall plugs in most common building materials, including plasterboard, brick, and concrete.
• Do I need special tools to install these mirror screws?
  You'll need a correctly sized slotted screwdriver that matches the screw width. Using the wrong size can damage the screw head.
• Why are these screws zinc plated?
  The zinc plating creates a protective barrier against corrosion, extending the life of the screws through a unique sacrificial protection process.
• What's the maximum weight these screws can support?
  The weight capacity depends on the wall material and proper installation. For heavy mirrors, use multiple screws spaced according to the mirror's weight distribution.
• Can these screws be used outdoors?
  While zinc-plated, these screws are primarily designed for indoor use in sanitary locations. For outdoor applications, consider specialised exterior fixings.
• How do I clean the chrome dome caps?
