Construction Screws

Whether you are working on siding, installing trim or adding drywall, every construction project deserves strong screws to provide lasting connections. Our construction screws are designed for various on-site and DIY projects.

Grip-Rite® construction screws offer a range of benefits such as:

  • Coarse threads for tighter holds.
  • Convenient packaging for easy storage.
  • T-17 points to eliminate predrilling.
  • Premium coating for prolonged corrosion resistance.

Grip-Rite® Construction Screws 

Sometimes also referred to as all-purpose screws, these screws used for construction are ideal for an array of projects. 

Construction Screws

From carpentry to door installations, Grip-Rite® construction screws are ideal for many construction projects. These screws rely on auger threads and a T-17 point to provide faster drills and more efficient drives. Our dual flat head design, complete with nibs, ensures a flush, strong finish in hard and soft woods. Thanks to its strong build and powerful hold, you can use these construction screws for wood-to-wood fastening and metal-to-wood fastening.

Trim Head Construction Screws

Another screw that is perfect for indoor construction is our trim head construction screw. Although it is in the same family as our regular construction screw, we took engineering a step further with this screw with double threading on two separate sections. 

Reverse threads just below the head twist in the opposite direction to the coarse threads covering the lower section of the shank. This design provides a superior material grip and reduces backing out. We also use a gold zinc coating to improve corrosion resistance.

Exterior Construction Screws

For external building projects, turn to our exterior construction screws. These screws also have coarse threads with a firm hold for higher pull-out resistance and a T-17 point for faster drilling. We use our PrimeGuard® Plus coating on the screws for corrosion resistance. This coating is what makes the exterior screws ideal as deck construction screws. Whether you are looking to join wood, composite or PVC, our exterior screws are an excellent solution.

General Purpose Screws

A countersink bugle head, sharp non-splitting point and coarse threads make our general purpose screws an excellent choice for multiple construction projects. We designed these screws with a #2 Phillips drive to give you more control when drilling. Additionally, the gold zinc coating provides durability and visual appeal.

FAQs

Here are the answers to some of the most common questions regarding construction screws.

Can you use construction screws for framing?

Yes, you can use our construction screws for non-structural framing. You can identify these screws with their partitioned plastic tub and clear “construction screws” designation on the label.

Do construction screws rust?

We use premium coating on our screws, especially exterior construction screws, to significantly reduce the chances of corrosion.

Are construction screws the same as wood screws?

The short answer is no. You can use construction screws in some wood to wood applications, but wood screws may not be ideal for most construction projects.
