Screw cimco 190121 — galvanized metal, for fibreboard, 50 mm length, Ø 5 mm, 1 pcs

Cimco 190121 is a single galvanized metal screw intended for fastening fibreboard and similar panel materials. The screw has a 50 mm length and a 5 mm thread diameter, and is supplied as one piece. Its zinc-coated surface provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor furniture assembly, joinery and repair where a medium-length screw is required.

Advantages

The galvanized coating reduces the risk of rust in normal indoor environments, extending the service life of connections in furniture and interior fittings. The 50 mm length and 5 mm diameter offer reliable holding power in fibreboard while minimising the chance of splitting thinner panels when used correctly. Supplied as a single piece, the screw is useful for specific repair jobs or when a precise quantity is needed.

Key specifications

How to use

Select an appropriate pilot hole for a 5 mm diameter screw when working with fibreboard or particleboard to reduce splitting and ensure consistent torque. Position the screw perpendicular to the workpiece and drive it with a suitable screwdriver or drill at moderate speed until the head is flush or at the desired depth. For assemblies that require repeated disassembly, consider using a matching washer or inserting into pre-drilled or reinforced holes to preserve the panel integrity.

Recommendations

Use the screw indoors or in covered environments to maximise the effectiveness of the galvanization. When fastening thin panels, pre-drill a smaller pilot hole and apply controlled torque to avoid over-tightening. For outdoor or high-humidity applications, evaluate corrosion protection requirements and choose a stainless or specially coated fastener if necessary.
