Key Features and Benefits

1. Purpose-Built for Plasterboard
All screws in this range are specifically designed for fixing drywall or plasterboard sheets to timber or metal studs. The sharp point and fine thread allow for easy penetration without damaging the board.

2. Black Phosphate Coating
The screws feature a black phosphate finish which offers mild corrosion resistance, minimizes reflection, and improves surface adhesion in joint compound or paint finishes.

3. Bugle Head Design
Each screw is shaped with a bugle head that self-countersinks during installation, ensuring a flush finish with the plasterboard surface — reducing the need for surface filling.

4. Sharp Needle Point and Fine Thread
The fine-threaded shank and self-piercing point provide strong initial grip, fast driving, and reduced risk of surface cracking, especially in brittle plasterboard panels.

5. Versatile Pack Sizes
Available in pack sizes ranging from 12 to 55 screws, allowing users to purchase the exact quantity needed for a small repair or a full installation, with minimal waste.

6. Compatible with Manual and Power Tools
Securpak drywall screws are suitable for use with both hand screwdrivers and power screwdrivers/drills with compatible Phillips head bits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are drywall screws used for?
Drywall screws are used to fasten plasterboard (drywall) sheets to wall studs or ceiling joists. They provide a secure, flush finish that can be easily covered by filler or tape before decorating.

Q2: Are these screws compatible with metal studs?
Yes. Securpak drywall screws are suitable for fixing to both wooden and lightweight metal stud frameworks, thanks to their sharp self-drilling tips and fine threading.

Q3: What does the black coating do?
The black phosphate finish provides light corrosion resistance and reduces glare. It also promotes adhesion of finishing compounds, such as joint filler or paint.

Q4: Can I use these screws for exterior applications?
These screws are designed for interior use. For exterior or damp environments, galvanized or stainless steel screws are recommended due to enhanced rust resistance.

Q5: Do these screws require pre-drilling?
No. Securpak drywall screws are self-piercing and typically do not require pre-drilled pilot holes in either timber or metal frames, though hard materials may benefit from one.

Q6: What type of screwdriver or bit should I use?
These screws are compatible with standard Phillips (crosshead) screwdriver bits, typically PH2 for this size range.

Q7: How far apart should I space drywall screws?
Standard practice is to space screws approximately 300 mm (12″) apart on walls and 200 mm (8″) on ceilings, with additional screws at the board edges for secure mounting.

Q8: Will these screws sit flush with the plasterboard?
Yes. The bugle head design allows each screw to countersink slightly into the plasterboard without tearing the surface, allowing for easy finishing.

Q9: Can I use these screws in plywood or other sheet material?
While they are optimized for plasterboard, these screws can also be used in thin plywood or similar sheet materials where fine-thread screws are appropriate.

Q10: Are there longer or bulk options available?
This Securpak range includes sizes from 25 mm to 75 mm. For larger construction needs, bulk or trade packs may be available from authorized retailers.
