What Size Screws Needed? (For a better Install) Can anyone tell me what size/length I should get?

My husband used the screws that came with the gates and we have had no problems! He does recommend, however that you drill the pilot holes for the screws so as not to split any of your woodwork! These are by far the BEST gates that I have ever had! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!

I just purchased 4 of these items and they did not come with the mounting screws as shown in the advertisement. I went to my local hardware store and bought the needed screws, you'll need #6-32 x 1 1/2 inch

Hi! I do know that the screws are Phillips type approx. 1/4" long. For exact details, you can contact Sceptre at: !-800-788-2878. They are very helpful! I STRONGLY suggest you use a power screwdriver...the fit is tight.

Those screws will work if you item uses any sort of quick connect swivel mount. As for size, you use the longest of the two you stock will allow. You simply dirll a pilot hole the right size of the screw screw it in and your ready to go. You also may want to use a small amount of glue to keep the screw more secure.

Kevin The screws that the manufacture supplies are too big. You will need to use smaller ones.

The screws that came with mine, I think they're too big. I can't screw them in all the way.

These screws are supplied with the bracket kit. They are machine screws, if you do not have these you will have to contact the mounting bracket manufacturer or the original place of purchase. They definitely come with any mounting kit, as I have installed quit a few. Otherwise you can try various size machine screws, either English or metric threads, no more than 3/4" in length. You do not want them to bottom out before they are tight on the bracket due to being too long.

No, you need the screws for complete install. I suggest google to find the size you need and get them locally. They must be coming from a different vendor now.

Make sure you received directions and all the parts (check against the packing list).... The comments from others explain the install process very well so I won't repeat those. Good Luck.

Take the bolts and nuts to any ACE or True Value Hardware stores. The folks there should be able to find equivalent sizes (if not identical threading) to replace the stock hardware with longer versions. Go with stainless steel if you can find it -- the few bucks extra will be worth it once you see how quick regular steel hardware can rust (and forced to replace it over and over). Cheers and all the best, -Rob

I got the screws at a hardware store. Just bring the handle & ask someone to help you find one that will fit - remember to get a locking washer too.

I ended up going to Lowe's and bought the FastTrack hardware pack so I don't really know offhand what the screw size is.
