Screws

If it's going in an existing hole, get a longer screw and cut it off. Even if not, you can cut an existing screw off and file/grind the thread to form a new point and "deepen" the thread. Simple job if laborious.

Or let a longer screw go right through the job and cut the projecting point off with an angle grinder.

"Slot Head"

These any good?

They all come in packs of 10

'Mushroom head wood screw'

This looks close..

If not, I imagine a hex headed coach screw could easily be turned and slotted to be a fairly good match.

or this, too short maybe...

That looks pretty decent. The brackets on the doors are secured firmly enou gh with 1 1/2" x 8 screws and this final screw is mostly cosmetic so I don' t think the difference between 16 and 20 gauge will make that much differen ce. And I can always pad the existing hole anyway.

And they're not in boxes of 200, which is great.

Many thanks and a happy New Year.

I think the gutter screws will look better, but I will need some largish ro undhead screws as the countersunk ones I've used for the smaller holes on t he bracket look a bit pants. I suppose I could fill the slots to obscure th em, but I'll only hate myself in the future.

Aye.

is that the gender opposite of 'd*****ad'?
