FAQs:

• What size pilot hole do I need for 4mm screws in hardwood?
  For hardwood applications, drill a 2.5mm pilot hole to prevent splitting and ensure proper screw placement. This sizing allows for strong thread engagement while protecting your materials.
• Can I use these screws in outdoor projects?
  While the yellow passivated coating provides good corrosion resistance, these screws are primarily designed for indoor use. For exterior projects, consider stainless steel alternatives.
• What's the maximum torque setting for power drivers with these screws?
  Set your power driver to medium torque when using these 4mm screws. This prevents head shearing and ensures proper seating of the countersunk head.
• How far should screws be placed from the edge of the MDF?
  Position these screws at least 25mm from the edge of the MDF to prevent splitting. When fixing closer to edges, pre-drilling becomes essential.
• Will these screws work with electric socket boxes?
  Yes, the 30mm length makes these screws suitable for mounting standard electrical back boxes, providing secure fixing without penetrating cavity walls.
• What's the load-bearing capacity in plasterboard?
  When properly installed into the plasterboard with appropriate wall plugs, these screws can support up to 10kg per fixing point. Always use multiple fixing points for heavier loads.
