Hillman Fasteners 42503 Star Drive Trim Screw 50 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 42503 is a star drive trim screw designed for clean, precise fastening in finish carpentry, trim work, and millwork applications. Each screw measures size 8 by 2.5 inches and is engineered to deliver a secure hold with minimal surface disruption. The star drive recess reduces cam-out during installation, making it a reliable choice for production work where speed and consistency matter. This package includes 50 screws per box, with package quantity noted at 5 boxes per unit of measure. The 1000-hour corrosion-resistance rating supports use in demanding environments where fastener longevity is a factor.

These trim screws are suited for residential and light commercial finish work including interior trim, door casings, baseboards, crown molding, and similar applications. They are commonly installed by carpenters, finish contractors, and skilled tradespeople using a star drive bit. The 2.5-inch length provides adequate penetration for standard trim-to-framing installations without over-driving into underlying materials.

Installation Notes

Always verify fastener compatibility with the substrate material before installation.
