Grip-Rite® PrimeGuard MAX® Stainless Steel Exterior Screws are the fastener of choice for building contractors who demand the best. Ideal for a wide range of applications, these screws are available in #302, #305, and #316 grade stainless steel to meet your needs. Naturally corrosion resistant, these screws are ideal for use in areas with harsh climates or near the coast.
Our PrimeGuard MAX® Stainless Steel Exterior Screws incorporate the star drive-type for a secure connection between tool tip and fastener. Clear out threads remove material during driving and the T17 tip combine for fast and efficient installation.
With variations for multi-substrate use, you can choose the fastener that fits your applications. Head types include Pancake, Bugle, and Trim heads for use with treated wood, composites, and PVC materials.
Available in #302, #305, and marine-grade #316 Stainless Steel
Our range of star drive-type heads includes T-30, T-27, T-25, and T-15 which offer increased tool tip to fastener connection and reduce cam outs
Head types tailored for use with treated wood, composites, PVC, and trim applications
Ideal for use with cedar and other hardwoods that cause corrosion

Our stainless steel screws are helpful in different materials and for many applications.
We use coarse thread and dual thread in our stainless steel screws. Both are suitable for use in hard and softwood applications.
Many customers use our stainless steel finish screws for both interior and exterior trim applications. They have a T-15 star drive, drive style with a type 17 point and come in seven gauges with a coarse thread.
The best fastener to use for decks would be from our stainless steel exterior screw offerings. Designed with a coarse thread that promotes a firm hold, their natural corrosion-resistance is guaranteed for the life of your deck. Available in various lengths, they’re perfect for building decks and docks near pools or the coast.
