Product overview

Home Secure™ self-tapping uPVC screws for fixing handles, hinges, letterboxes, locks and restrictors into uPVC doors and windows. They're zinc-plated with a countersunk head, so they sit flush.

Which length do I need?

  • 25mm: about half of all the packs we sell. A good all-rounder for window handles, restrictors and small hardware.
  • 32mm and 38mm: for thicker hardware or where you need more bite.
  • 45mm: for hinges and heavier fittings.

Packs of 25, or 1,000 for trade use.

Tips for fixing into uPVC

  • Many uPVC frames have steel reinforcement inside. If you feel resistance, drill a small pilot hole first.
  • Don't overtighten: uPVC strips easily.
  • Use a bit that fits the screw head properly and drive the screw in straight.
  • If an old hole has stripped, use uPVC repair screws or a jack nut.
