Product Description
This is a fixing consumable, not a CCTV component — but it's the sort of item that ends up in every installer's van for mounting brackets, back boxes and small fittings during a job.
TIMCO Velocity 3.5 × 12mm wood screws suit shallow, light-duty fixings into timber and chipboard: think camera mounting plates on wooden fascias, junction box lids, or securing small brackets where a longer screw isn't needed.
Key specs
- Size: 3.5mm diameter × 12mm length
- Head: countersunk, sits flush with the surface
- Drive: Pozi recess, reduces cam-out on powered drivers
- Finish: yellow zinc plated steel, corrosion resistant for interior use
- Material grip: threaded shank for secure hold in timber fibres
Where it fits on a job
For CCTV and access-control installers, screws this size are useful for attaching hinges, small fittings and light fixtures to wooden surfaces rather than structural fixings — pair with rawl plugs for masonry or use directly into timber and chipboard framing.
Practical selection notes
Choose the countersunk head where a flush, snag-free finish matters (visible trims, panel covers). The Pozi drive is worth specifying if screws will be driven with a powered driver on a first-fix or multi-unit install, as it holds the bit more securely than a plain slot head.
