Specifications

Which one do I need?

The first figure in 3.5 x 42mm (6 x 1 5/8 inch) is the screw diameter and the second is the length. Choose a length that passes through the board and bites into the support behind.

How to use

1. Mark where the studs or battens sit so each screw lands in solid support.
2. Fit a bit that matches the drive so it does not slip across the head.
3. Drive the screws just below the board surface, without breaking the paper.
4. Space the fixings evenly along each stud.
