At Next Day Fixings, we understand the importance of reliable fixings and hardware, whether you’re a professional joiner working on a large-scale project or a DIYer tackling home improvements. The quality of your fixings determines the strength and durability of your work. That’s why we offer a complete range of fixings with next-day delivery across the UK, ensuring you have what you need when needed.

One of the most innovative and time-saving solutions in modern fixings is the Multi Fix Masonry Screw. These revolutionary screws eliminate the need for plastic wall plugs, making installations into brick, concrete, and stone faster, stronger, and more efficient. Whether you're securing shelving, ironmongery, or heavy-duty supports, Multi Fix Masonry Screws provide superior hold and durability.

Traditional masonry fixings often require plastic plugs to hold screws securely in place. This process can be time-consuming, requiring extra drilling, inserting the plug, and then fixing the screw. Multi-Fix Masonry Screws, however, remove the need for plugs entirely, allowing the screw to directly grip into masonry surfaces with no additional components needed.

These screws are designed with high-low thread technology, meaning they cut into brick, concrete, and stone while creating a secure and long-lasting hold. This design not only speeds up installation but also increases the holding power, making them ideal for both light-duty and heavy-duty applications.

Multi Fix Masonry Screws are becoming a staple for joiners, builders, and DIY enthusiasts due to their speed, efficiency, and superior grip. Here’s why they are an essential addition to your toolkit:

One of the biggest advantages is the elimination of plastic plugs. Without them, installation is faster, easier, and requires fewer materials. This reduces costs and minimizes the chances of fixings coming loose over time.

Unlike traditional masonry fixings, which require additional preparation, Multi Fix Masonry Screws can be driven straight into pre-drilled holes. This dramatically cuts down installation time, making projects quicker and more efficient.

These screws are versatile, working across a range of materials, including:

• Brickwork
• Concrete
• Stone
• Wood

Whether you are installing brackets, frames, shelving, or securing metal fixings, these screws provide a firm and durable hold.

At Next Day Fixings, we stock two main types of Multi-Fix Masonry Screws:

The Countersunk Head Multi Fix Masonry Screw is designed for applications where a smooth and flush finish is required. This means that when installed correctly, the screw sits level with the surface, rather than protruding. This provides a clean and professional look, making it perfect for projects where aesthetics are important.

One of the primary reasons professionals and DIYers opt for countersunk screws is that they create a seamless connection between the material and the fixing surface. This is particularly beneficial when working with:

• Ironmongery installations – Fixing hinges, brackets, locks, and handles onto masonry without visible protrusions.
• Securing timber to masonry – Ensures that the wood sits flat against brick, concrete, or stone, reducing movement and increasing durability.
• Cabinet and shelving installations – Helps achieve a flush fit, making furniture and shelves look professionally installed.
• Decorative fixtures – Ideal for applications where a neat and polished finish is required, such as signage, handrails, and wall-mounted fixtures.

The flush-fitting feature of countersunk screws is also critical for safety reasons. Protruding screws can catch on clothing, pose injury risks, or interfere with additional fittings. The countersunk head eliminates these issues while ensuring a strong and permanent hold.

✔ TX25 Torx Drive reduces wear and prevents cam-out, which extends the life of both the screw and your tools. The Torx drive system also ensures better torque transfer, reducing the risk of stripping the screw head.

✔ Serrated V-threads allow for effortless and firm insertion into masonry surfaces, creating a secure grip that holds under stress.

✔ High-low threading improves grip strength, ensuring maximum load-bearing capability while making installation smoother and faster.

✔ Zinc coating protects against corrosion, ensuring the screw remains strong and durable in dry, low-humidity environments.

✔ BS 7671 fire safety compliance – This screw meets UK fire safety regulations, making it suitable for electrical installations where non-flammable, secure fixings are required.

The larger surface area of a pan head screw distributes force more effectively, reducing the risk of material damage. This makes it particularly useful for:

• Securing heavy frames and brackets – The additional surface area ensures that the fixture remains stable and does not shift under weight.
• Fixing supports and reinforcements – When mounting reinforcement plates, metal frames, or load-bearing structures, a pan head screw provides a firmer grip than a countersunk screw.
• Clamping applications – If you need to hold two materials together tightly, the broader head ensures a strong, even distribution of force, reducing the chances of materials separating over time.
• Temporary or adjustable installations – Since pan head screws do not sit flush, they are easier to remove and adjust when needed, making them ideal for fixtures that may require modifications or future repositioning.

The pan head’s slightly raised profile also makes it easier to drive in using power tools. Unlike flat countersunk screws, which require precise drilling for flush installation, pan head screws can be installed quickly and efficiently, making them a preferred choice for high-speed assembly work.

✔ Pan Head design ensures a strong clamping force , making it ideal for applications where tight and secure fastening is crucial .

✔ Same high-performance features as the Countersunk version, including strong carbon steel construction, V-thread serrations, and superior load-bearing capability .

✔ High-low threading makes installation smooth and reliable , ensuring maximum pull-out resistance while reducing stress on the screw.

✔ Zinc-coated for corrosion resistance , making it ideal for indoor use in low-humidity environments such as workshops, offices, and residential buildings .

✔ Fire-resistant and BS 7671 compliant , ensuring safe usage in electrical installations and fire-rated construction work .

Choosing the right screw finish is essential, as different coatings offer different levels of protection and durability.

The Pan Head Multi-Fix Masonry Screw is designed for applications where a higher clamping force is required. Unlike countersunk screws that sit flush with the surface, the wider, rounded head of a pan screw spreads the pressure more evenly. This helps prevent materials from loosening over time, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications.

✅ Good rust resistance for indoor applications.

✅ Ideal for dry, low-humidity environments such as home interiors, workshops, and offices.

✅ More affordable than stainless steel or galvanized coatings.

❌ Not suitable for outdoor use – prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to corrosion.

❌ Less durable in high-humidity environments compared to stainless steel or galvanized screws.

Installing Multi Fix Masonry Screws is quick and easy, even for those with minimal experience. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1️⃣ Mark the position where the screw needs to be installed.
2️⃣ Drill a hole using a 6.5mm masonry drill bit.
3️⃣ Insert the screw directly into the hole – no plug required!
4️⃣ Tighten using a TX25 driver until secure.
5️⃣ Check for flush finish or clamping, depending on the head type.
