I am looking for some old-fashioned steel screws whose head has a single slit (not pozidrive) - don't know how else to describe them.
Can anyone tell me of a source?
Thanks in advance

Slotted counter sunk,you'll get them anywhere, DIY shops or sheds.
If indeed he wants countersunk heads - there are plenty of other head shapes available with straight slots in them - see

Screwfix, Toolstation, B&Q, Homebase, Wickes, Focus etc.
Quite why anyone would want to use them is beyond me though.
Anywhere where you can still see the head - like hinges etc. For construction work or other fixings I agree with you.
You're site is down,or at least my browser is telling me that?
I want to copy some fixings on some old doors. Screwfix don't appear to sell them nor do any of my other local suppliers. I think they have quietly disappeared while no one was looking. Scewsline looks like the answer.
My local ironmonger still sells them.

Oh, who's going to cyber squat?

Many thanks to Sparks who sent me a txt to let me know.
It's back now :-)
