Can anyone share their opinion on best screws for pictures that 2mm glazed at around 900mm x 700mm.

I am using double D-rings and my preference is for posidrive screws. I think I have been using 3/8 x 4 countersunk so far with no problems but they always seem so small for such a relatively large picture (for me)

Would 5/8 be a better length?

Thanks

we use gold screws from screwfix number 4's like you, we get 12 mm, 16 mm and 20 mm 16's would be ok.

I had a look at their website and they seem just the job (and almost free!). I will pick some up the next time I am passing... thanks

I'll second Screwfix. Ordered 2000 today.

Be careful, some cheap brands are not so well finished and can feel a bit rough and uncomfortable as they spin between your thumb and finger as you hold them to start the drive.

Don't buy Screwfix screwdriver bits though.......
