Simpson Finish Trim Screw, #7 x 3", Tan with Quik Guard Coating from Simpson Strong-Tie is a versatile, high-performance fastening solution designed to make trim installation, molding work, and DIY home improvement projects faster and cleaner. The low-profile trim head sits flush and nearly invisible after installation, while the patented SawTooth point drives effortlessly into wood without predrilling - saving time on everything from interior finish carpentry to exterior trim in preservative-treated lumber applications.

Key Features

• Trim Head (0.200" head diameter) - compact, low-profile cylinder head sits close to the surface for a clean, concealed appearance that keeps fasteners nearly invisible in finish applications.
• Patented SawTooth Point - eliminates the need for predrilling, allowing fast starts and easy driving even in dense or treated wood, reducing installation time significantly.
• Serrated Threads with 1.50" thread length - engineered for superior countersinking performance and increased pull-through resistance, keeping trim and molding securely anchored over time.
• T10 6-Lobe Drive Recess - the 6-lobe design provides a secure, positive bit engagement that reduces cam-out, extends driver bit life, and gives the installer greater control during driving.
• Quik Guard Coating in Tan - provides corrosion resistance and blends naturally with common trim and molding colors, making touch-up or concealment easier in both interior and exterior environments.
• Suitable for interior and exterior use, including preservative-treated wood - a single fastener solution that works across a wide range of project conditions without requiring a specialty screw for treated lumber applications.

Why This Product

• The SawTooth point technology removes the predrilling step entirely - ideal for trim carpenters and DIYers who want to work faster without sacrificing holding strength or risking wood splitting near edges.
• The tan Quik Guard Coating blends with natural wood tones and common trim finishes, meaning fasteners are far less noticeable after installation - no need to fill or paint over every screw head.
• Approved for use in preservative-treated wood, this screw handles both protected interior trim and fully exposed exterior applications with the same fastener, reducing the need to stock multiple screw types on the job.
• The 6-lobe T10 recess delivers a positive, cam-out-resistant drive that keeps bits engaged longer - a practical advantage when driving dozens of screws in a single trim or molding installation session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to predrill before driving these trim screws?

No. The patented SawTooth point is specifically designed to eliminate the need for predrilling, allowing you to drive the screw directly into wood for fast, clean results without risking splits or surface damage from a separate drilling step.

Are these screws rated for use with preservative-treated wood?

Yes. The Quik Guard Coating and overall construction make this trim screw suitable for both interior and exterior use, including applications involving preservative-treated wood, so you can use the same fastener across a wide range of project conditions.

What driver bit do I need for the T10 6-lobe drive recess?

A T10 6-lobe driver bit is required. A T10 6-lobe driver bit is included with #7 size packs. The replacement driver bit compatible with this screw is the BIT10T-2-R2.

Why is the tan color important for trim and molding applications?

The tan Quik Guard Coating is chosen to complement natural wood tones and common trim finishes, making the screw head significantly less visible after installation. This is especially useful in finish carpentry where fastener visibility is a concern and a clean, professional appearance is the goal.
