When a standard screw isn't enough to hold the weight, you need the IMSCREWS 10-Pack of #12 x 1-3/4" Black Stainless Screws. With a diameter close to a lag bolt but the flush finish of a wood screw, it is the ultimate fastener for heavy doors and outdoor projects.
Why Upgrade to #12?
• Sagging Doors: Replace one screw in each hinge of a heavy solid-core door with this #12 screw. It acts like a structural anchor, pulling the door frame tight to the stud.
• Gate Hardware: Fits perfectly in the larger holes of heavy-duty gate latches and bolts.
• Shear Strength: The 5.5mm thickness resists snapping under heavy loads that would break a #8 screw.
Built for the Elements:
• Integral Black Finish: A bonded surface treatment that won't chip under high torque.
• Solid 304 Stainless: 100% Rust-Proof for coastal homes and boat docks.
Technical Specifications:
• Quantity: 10 Pieces
• Size: #12 x 1-3/4 Inch (5.5mm x 44.5mm)
• Head Type: Flat Countersunk (82¡ã)
• Drive Type: Phillips #3 (Check your bit!)
• Material: 304 Stainless Steel
Common Questions (FAQ):
Q: Can I screw this directly into wood?
A: NO. This screw is very thick (#12). If you do not drill a pilot hole, you will split the wood. We recommend a 5/32" pilot hole.
Q: Does this use a standard screwdriver?
A: It uses a Phillips #3 bit (PH3). A standard PH2 driver might slip and strip the head because it is too small. Please use the correct bit.
Package Contains:
10 x Heavy Duty Black Screws (#12 x 1-3/4")
Key Features
[10-PIECE HEAVY DUTY PACK] A specialized kit for high-load repairs. Don't rely on standard #8 or #10 screws for heavy doors. This 10-count pack of #12 screws provides the brute strength needed to fix sagging solid wood entry doors, heavy gates, or secure large marine cleats.
[THICK #12 DIAMETER (5.5mm)] Built like a tank. The thick 5.5mm shank offers massive shear strength, making it nearly impossible to snap under load. It fills larger countersunk holes in heavy-duty hinges and gate hardware where smaller screws would feel loose.
[INTEGRAL MATTE BLACK FINISH] Engineered with a specialized thermal process to blacken the steel. It is NOT painted. This bonded finish withstands the high torque of driving a #12 screw without stripping or peeling, ensuring your black ironmongery looks flawless.
[304 STAINLESS STEEL] Crafted from Genuine 304 Stainless Steel (18-8). Essential for outdoor and marine environments. Whether securing a gate latch in the rain or a dock cleat in saltwater air, these screws will remain rust-free and structurally sound forever.
