Simpson Finish Trim Screw - #7 x 2-1/2" in White with T10 6-Lobe Drive from Simpson Strong-Tie is a versatile, high-performance fastening solution engineered for trim installation, molding, and a wide range of DIY home improvement applications. Its compact trim head keeps fasteners nearly invisible after driving, and the patented SawTooth point means no predrilling is required - saving time and effort on every job. Finished in white with a Quik Guard Coating, this screw blends into painted surfaces and performs reliably in both interior and exterior environments, including contact with preservative-treated wood.

Key Features

• Trim Head Profile (0.200 in. head diameter) - the low-profile cylinder head sits flush and nearly disappears into trim and molding surfaces, reducing touch-up work and keeping finished surfaces clean.
• Patented SawTooth Point - eliminates the need for predrilling in most applications, speeding up installation and reducing the number of tools needed on the job.
• Serrated Threads with 1.50 in. thread length - grip wood aggressively for strong pull-through resistance, keeping trim and molding firmly secured over time.
• Underhead threads - promote superior countersinking so the head seats cleanly without splitting or surface damage, resulting in a finished look with minimal filler.
• T10 6-Lobe Drive - provides a secure, cam-out-resistant connection between driver and screw, extending bit life and giving the installer more control during driving.
• Quik Guard Coating in White - delivers corrosion resistance suitable for both interior and exterior use, including preservative-treated lumber, while the white finish blends into painted trim for minimal visibility.
• 2-1/2 in. length - provides sufficient penetration depth for secure fastening through standard trim profiles and into structural substrate without over-driving.

Why This Product

• The SawTooth point technology eliminates predrilling entirely, meaning installers can work faster through trim, molding, and DIY projects without switching tools or marking pilot holes.
• The white Quik Guard Coating blends with painted surfaces and resists corrosion in outdoor and preservative-treated wood applications - making this a single screw solution for both interior finish work and exterior trim projects.
• The T10 6-lobe driver bit is physically included with the screw, so installers have everything needed to start driving immediately without sourcing a separate bit.
• The combination of a low-profile trim head and serrated threads means fasteners countersink cleanly and hold firmly, reducing the need for wood filler and minimizing visible fastener spots in finished surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to predrill before driving these trim screws?

No. The patented SawTooth point is specifically engineered to eliminate the need for predrilling, allowing for fast starts and easy driving directly into wood without a pilot hole.

Is this screw suitable for exterior use or contact with preservative-treated wood?

Yes. The Quik Guard Coating provides corrosion resistance that makes these screws suitable for both interior and exterior applications, including use with preservative-treated wood.

What driver bit do I need, and is it included?

These screws use a T10 6-lobe driver bit. A T10 6-lobe driver bit is included in the package so you can begin installation right away.

How does the trim head design affect the finished appearance?

The compact, low-profile cylinder head has a 0.200 in. diameter, which means it sits close to the surface and stays nearly concealed after driving. Combined with the white finish, the screw blends into painted trim and molding for a clean, professional look.
