Designed for secure and reliable installations, these 7.5 x 102mm screws come in a pack of 100 and include the necessary Torx bit, streamlining your project. Their unique design simplifies the fixing process, saving time and effort on various construction and renovation tasks, provided the correct pilot hole is drilled.
Plug-Free Fixing: Eliminates the need for separate wall plugs, simplifying installation and saving time.
Torx Drive System: Ensures high torque transfer and reduces cam-out, providing a secure and stable drive. A compatible Torx bit is conveniently included in the pack.
Masonry Application: Specifically designed for secure and reliable fastening into various masonry materials like brick, concrete, and stone.
Optimal Size: With a 7.5mm diameter and 102mm length, these screws are suitable for a wide range of frame fixing and general masonry anchoring applications.
Recommended Pilot Hole: Designed to work optimally with a 6mm pilot hole, ensuring a tight and secure grip within the masonry.
Bulk Pack: Supplied in a 100-pack, making it ideal for larger projects or for stocking up your toolkit. The yellow finish provides visible identification.
Faster Installation: No need for separate wall plugs significantly speeds up the fixing process.
Strong, Reliable Fixings: Engineered for secure anchoring directly into masonry.
Convenience: Includes the required Torx bit, so you can start working immediately.
Versatile Use: Suitable for a wide range of masonry materials.
Cost-Effective: 100-pack offers good value for larger projects.
Specific Pilot Hole: Requires a precise 6mm pilot hole; incorrect sizing can lead to issues.
Material Limitations: Primarily for masonry; not suitable for softer materials without specific backing or additional fixings.
Finish: Yellow colour may not be aesthetically suitable for all exposed applications.

Forgefix Masonry Torx Frame Fixing Screws are engineered for applications demanding a strong, direct fixing into hard materials. Their design excels in situations where speed and security are paramount. These screws achieve their holding power through the aggressive thread design that cuts into the masonry, eliminating the need for an expansion plug.
Window and Door Frame Installation: Securely attach PVC, timber, or metal frames directly to brickwork or concrete.
Fixing Battens: Ideal for attaching timber battens or furring strips to walls for cladding, insulation, or plasterboard.
General Masonry Anchoring: Suitable for fixing various fixtures, conduit, or trunking into brick, stone, or concrete walls.
Always ensure your drill bit is sharp and exactly 6mm in diameter for the pilot hole. An undersized hole can cause the screw to break, while an oversized hole can reduce holding power.
Drill the pilot hole to a depth slightly longer than the screw's embedded length to allow for dust accumulation.
Use an impact driver or a powerful drill with a torque setting. Start with a lower torque and gradually increase until the screw is firmly seated, avoiding overtightening which can damage the screw or the masonry.
Ensure the fixture being fastened is positioned correctly before driving the screw fully, as these screws create a very strong bond.
Proper setup and care ensure optimal performance and longevity for your Forgefix Masonry Torx Frame Fixing Screws.
Mark: Clearly mark the exact location where each screw needs to be installed on your frame or fixture.
Drill Pilot Hole: Using a powerful drill and a 6mm masonry drill bit, drill a pilot hole through your frame/fixture and into the masonry. Ensure the hole depth is slightly greater than the screw's intended embedment length (102mm + approximately 10-15mm for dust clearance).
Clear Debris: Remove any dust or debris from the pilot hole using a blow-out bulb or vacuum cleaner. This ensures the screw can properly bite into the material.
Insert Screw: Align the frame/fixture with the drilled holes. Place the Forgefix screw into the pilot hole. Attach the supplied Torx bit to your drill/driver.
Drive Screw: Slowly begin to drive the screw, applying firm, steady pressure. Increase speed/torque as the screw engages the masonry. Drive until the screw head is flush with the surface of your frame/fixture. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the screw or crack the surrounding masonry.
Compatible Materials: Designed for use in solid masonry materials such as brick, concrete, natural stone, and dense blockwork.
Limited Compatibility: Not recommended for use in aerated concrete, plasterboard, or soft timber without specific additional anchors or careful consideration of load-bearing capacity.
Storage: Store the screws in their original packaging or a dry, sealed container to prevent moisture exposure, which can lead to corrosion.
Bit Maintenance: Keep the included Torx bit clean and free of debris. Replace worn or damaged bits to prevent cam-out during installation.
Safety: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses when drilling and driving screws.
