Flat head screws

Flat head screws are used across a wide range of joinery and structural applications, particularly where a flush finish is needed. Their countersunk heads allow them to sit level with or below the surface of timber, metal or plastic. On site, you’ll commonly use a flat head screw for securing door hinges, fitting plasterboard, or joining cabinetry components. These screws are often preferred where the final surface will be filled, painted, or left exposed.

The category includes flat head screws in a variety of gauges, lengths and materials, including stainless steel, zinc-plated, and coated options for corrosion resistance. Most are compatible with power drivers and suitable for use with plugs in masonry or solid timber. Compared to pan or round head screws, flat head wood screws reduce snagging and provide a smoother finish after installation. You'll find variants for interior and exterior use, as well as options with partial or full threads to suit different load requirements.
