• General carpentry and timber framing
• Door hardware installation and replacement

Types of Screws You Can Buy Online

Within this screws category, you’ll find a mix of popular head styles, drive types and finishes, making it easy to match the screw to the job on hand.

Head Styles

Head style affects how the screw sits against or within the material and how visible it is once installed. Common options include:

• Countersunk screws – designed to sit flush with the surface, ideal for timber doors, jambs and general framing.
• Pan or button head screws – provide a neat, low-profile head, often used with metal brackets, hardware plates and light fixtures.
• Bugle head screws – suitable for plasterboard and other sheet materials where a clean, recessed finish is needed.

Drive Types

Choose a drive type that matches the bits you already use on site:

• Phillips (PH) – a common choice for general work and quick installation.
• Square/Robertson – helps reduce cam-out, ideal when you’re driving a lot of screws in a day.
• Torx/Star – offers excellent engagement and control, popular for precision and repetitive fastening.

Materials and Finishes for Australian Conditions

Australian projects demand fixings that can handle humidity, temperature changes and, in many areas, coastal air. That’s why this range includes screws in a variety of materials and finishes to suit different environments.

Common Materials and Coatings

• Steel screws – a dependable choice for internal use and general construction.
• Galvanised or coated screws – provide extra resistance to corrosion, well-suited to exposed or semi-exposed applications.
• Stainless steel screws – ideal for coastal regions and humid climates across Queensland and New South Wales, particularly in and around Brisbane and other seaside locations.

For visible fixings, you can match the finish of your screws to your hardware or fittings – for example, pairing screws with matte black, stainless steel or brass-finished door furniture from Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood or Zanda for a cohesive look across your front door, internal doors and commercial entrances.

Perfect Partners for Architectural Door Hardware

Architectural door hardware is only as good as the fasteners that hold it in place. When you’re installing premium handles, levers, locks, hinges and accessories from brands like Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda, using appropriate quality screws helps ensure long-term performance and a professional finish.

This screws category is ideal for:

• Fixing hinges and strike plates to timber or metal frames
• Securing lock bodies, escutcheons and pull handles
• Attaching door closers, stops and architectural accessories
• Minor repairs and hardware replacements in existing doors

Whether you’re fitting out a contemporary home in Brisbane, updating internal doors in a New South Wales office or managing hardware maintenance on a national portfolio of sites, the right screws are a simple but critical part of the job.

Choosing the Right Screw for Your Job

Not sure which screws to choose? Start by considering the material, location and appearance requirements.

1. Material You’re Fixing Into

• Timber – look for screws designed for timber, with appropriate thread and length for framing, jambs and door leaves.
• Metal – choose screws suited to metal sections, brackets or frames, often with finer threads and suitable tips.
• Masonry – for brick or concrete, you’ll typically pair screws with appropriate plugs or dedicated masonry anchors.
• Plasterboard – use screws designed for sheet materials to prevent blow-outs and ensure a clean finish.

2. Internal or External Use

• Internal applications – standard steel or coated screws are often sufficient for dry, indoor environments.
• External or semi-exposed areas – consider galvanised or stainless steel screws for better corrosion resistance, especially in coastal parts of Queensland and New South Wales.

3. Aesthetic Considerations

Where fixings are visible – for example on front doors, architectural entrance sets or feature hardware – match screw heads to the finish of your hardware. Stainless steel and brass-look screws complement classic Lockwood and Zanda designs, while darker finishes pair well with modern matte black Barben or Dormakaba hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of screws can I buy online from John Barnes Group?

This category includes a practical selection of commonly used screws for timber, metal and general hardware installation. You’ll find different head styles, drive types, materials and finishes suitable for fitting door hardware from brands like Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda, as well as general building and maintenance tasks in residential and commercial environments.

Are these screws suitable for installing door hardware?

Yes. Many of the screws in this range are ideal for installing and maintaining architectural door hardware, including hinges, locks, closers, handles and accessories. When choosing screws for hardware installation, consider the door and frame material, the environment (internal or external) and the finish so you can achieve both secure fixing and a neat, professional look.

Can I use these screws for both residential and commercial projects?

Absolutely. The screws range is selected for versatility across homes, apartments, offices, retail tenancies, schools and other commercial buildings. Whether you’re working on a small renovation in Brisbane, a new build in regional Queensland or a commercial fit-out in New South Wales, you can buy screws online that are suitable for a wide variety of applications.

Do you offer corrosion-resistant screws for coastal areas?

Yes, many screws are available in galvanised, coated or stainless steel options that are better suited to humid or coastal conditions. These are a smart choice for external doors, semi-exposed locations and projects in coastal regions across Queensland and New South Wales, where added resistance to corrosion helps maintain performance over time.

How do I choose the right screw length and gauge?

As a general guide, the screw should be long enough to penetrate well into the fixing material without breaking through the opposite side. Thicker materials and higher loads usually require longer and heavier-gauge screws. Consider the hardware manufacturer’s recommendations where available (for example, on Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood or Zanda products) and, if in doubt, opt for a size that provides secure engagement without over-tightening.

Are bulk or project quantities available?

Yes, many screws are supplied in packs suitable for trade and project use, making it easy to keep commonly used sizes on hand. Buying online through John Barnes Group allows you to order the quantities you need for ongoing residential and commercial work, so you’re less likely to run short on site.

Can I mix different metals between screws and hardware?

It’s generally best practice to avoid mixing dissimilar metals in exposed environments, as this can accelerate corrosion in some conditions. For example, pairing stainless steel screws with stainless steel hardware helps maintain a consistent appearance and performance. For visible or external installations – such as front doors or commercial entry sets – consider matching both the finish and material where possible.
