Simpson Finish Trim Screw - #7 x 1-1/4" in Tan from Simpson Strong-Tie is a versatile, high-performance fastening solution designed for trim work, molding installation, and a wide range of interior and exterior DIY home improvement applications. Built with a compact, low-profile trim head and protected by a Quik Guard Coating in a tan finish, this screw delivers a clean, nearly invisible fastener appearance in finished surfaces. Whether you are securing decorative trim, casing, or baseboards, the patented SawTooth point technology and serrated threads make driving fast and reliable - even in preservative-treated wood - without the need for predrilling.

Key Features

• Trim Head (0.200 in. head diameter) - the compact, low-profile cylinder head sits flush or slightly below the surface for a clean, concealed appearance ideal for finish carpentry and visible applications
• Patented SawTooth Point - eliminates the need for predrilling, saving time and reducing setup steps on trim and molding installation projects
• Serrated Threads with 0.75 in. thread length - underhead serrations improve countersinking performance and increase pull-through resistance for a more secure hold in finish applications
• T10 6-Lobe Drive Type - the 6-lobe recess provides a secure, cam-out-resistant connection between driver and fastener, extending bit life and reducing slippage during driving
• Quik Guard Coating in Tan - the tan color-matched finish blends with common trim and molding colors, while the protective coating makes the screw suitable for both interior and exterior use, including preservative-treated wood
• 1-1/4 in. length - sized for thin trim and molding profiles where precise penetration depth matters, reducing the risk of blowout on the finished side

Why This Product

• The SawTooth point and serrated threads work together to eliminate predrilling while still achieving clean, fast starts - making this screw a practical choice for high-volume trim and molding installation where speed and finish quality both matter
• The tan Quik Guard Coating means the fastener blends visually with painted or stained trim surfaces, reducing touch-up work and keeping the finished surface looking clean without caulking over every screw head
• Rated for both interior and exterior use including preservative-treated wood, this screw handles a broad range of residential finish applications without requiring a specialty fastener for each environment
• The included T10 6-lobe driver bit means you can get started immediately without hunting for a separate bit - the matched drive system also helps protect the low-profile trim head from cam-out damage during installation

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to predrill before driving this trim screw?

No. The patented SawTooth point is specifically designed to eliminate the need for predrilling, allowing for fast starts and easy driving directly into the workpiece - saving time on trim and molding installation projects.

Is this screw suitable for exterior use or pressure-treated wood?

Yes. The Quik Guard Coating makes this trim screw suitable for both interior and exterior applications, including use with preservative-treated wood.

What driver bit is needed to install this screw?

This screw uses a T10 6-lobe drive recess. A T10 6-lobe driver bit is included with the screw. The 6-lobe design provides a secure connection and is engineered to extend bit life and reduce cam-out during installation.

Why is the tan color important for finish trim applications?

The tan color of the Quik Guard Coating is matched to common trim and molding tones, allowing the low-profile trim head to blend into the finished surface. This helps minimize visible fastener marks and reduces the amount of touch-up work needed after installation.
