Teks lath screws are self-tapping fasteners designed for secure, efficient fastening in construction and metal fabrication work. The drill point penetrates light to heavy-gauge metal and wood without pre-drilling, allowing professionals to drill, tap and fasten in one motion. These screws are ideal for attaching metal lath to wood or steel studs in stucco and plaster applications, securing pre-drilled metal brackets to framing, and handling thicker metal-to-metal or metal-to-wood connections.
The truss head and Phillips drive design offer a wide, low-profile fastening surface. The zinc-plated steel finish resists corrosion for long-term durability in interior and exterior applications. Whether you’re working on roofing, HVAC installations, steel stud framing, gutters, or register vents, these screws reduce installation time and effort while delivering strong, reliable holding power with no tool slippage or cam-outs even with worn sockets and bits.
