The ForgeFix 7.5 x 182mm concrete frame screw is a TORX drive masonry fixing for securing timber frames, battens, and brackets directly into concrete, brick, and block. The high-low thread profile cuts its own thread in the pilot hole, providing strong pull-out resistance without separate plugs or anchors.
At 182mm, this is one of the longest screws in the ForgeFix concrete frame range. It is designed for fixing through thick timber sections, deep window and door reveals, multiple material layers, and applications where substantial packing or insulation sits between the frame and the masonry. Renovation work frequently demands this length, where existing frames may have been shimmed out from uneven walls or where additional insulation has been added behind the frame.
The zinc yellow passivated (ZYP) finish provides corrosion resistance for interior and sheltered exterior use. The TORX-compatible recess (T30) is critical at this length. Driving a 182mm screw through timber and into masonry generates serious torque demand, and the TORX geometry distributes that load across six contact points rather than two or four. Pre-drill with a 6mm masonry bit to full depth and clear dust from the hole before driving.
