The Simpson Finish Trim Screw #7 x 2" in Tan from Simpson Strong-Tie is a versatile, high-performance fastening solution engineered to complete trim, molding, and finish carpentry projects faster and with minimal fastener visibility. Featuring a compact, low-profile trim head and a patented SawTooth point that eliminates the need for predrilling, this screw is built for clean, professional results on both interior and exterior applications - including preservative-treated wood. The Quik Guard Coating provides a tan finish that blends discreetly into finished surfaces, making it a go-to choice for DIY home improvement and professional finish work alike.

Key Features

• Trim Head with 0.200" head diameter - the small, low-profile cylinder head sits flush and concealed for a clean, finished appearance in trim and molding installations
• Patented SawTooth Point - eliminates the need for predrilling, enabling faster starts and easier driving through wood without splitting or pilot hole prep
• Serrated Threads - underhead serrated thread design improves countersinking performance and increases pull-through resistance for a stronger, more secure hold
• T10 6-Lobe Drive Type - the 6-lobe recess allows secure bit engagement, reducing cam-out and extending bit life for longer-lasting, more efficient driving
• Quik Guard Coating in Tan - corrosion-resistant finish blends with common trim colors while providing protection suitable for both interior and exterior use, including contact with preservative-treated wood
• 1.25" Thread Length on a 2" screw - optimized thread engagement provides reliable holding power in finish applications without over-penetrating or damaging thin materials

Why This Product

• No predrilling required - the patented SawTooth point drives directly into wood, saving time and eliminating an extra step whether you are installing baseboards, door casing, or exterior trim
• Designed for low-visibility fastening - the compact trim head stays flush or recessed in finish surfaces, so wood filler, paint, or caulk easily hides the fastener for a professional look
• Rated for exterior and preservative-treated wood use - the Quik Guard Coating is formulated to hold up in outdoor environments, making this screw suitable for exterior trim, siding trim, and treated lumber applications
• The 6-lobe T10 drive reduces bit slippage and cam-out, giving you more control on finish work where surface damage from a stripped drive can mean extra repair time
