Well exactly. You've answered both your own and my argument. Yeah, but the screw buyer isn't told that when they buy them. "Do not try to fit into metal countersunk holes. Metal countersunk holes are for single-countersink screws only" is not written on the label, is it? Mr. HandyAndy - Really
And a bugle-head will fit most(even if they are not designed for that application). Mr. HandyAndy - Really
Unless the screw buyer is as stupid as you they wont be buying plasterboard screws and they wont find double countersink screws unless they go looking for them. You've chucked a lot of insults at me whilst being wrong from the beginning, are you Donald J Trump?
Nope. Firstly, I ain't wrong. Secondly, you threw the first brick. Throw them at me, you get them back - with bells on. Mr. HandyAndy - Really
Jesus this is hard work, you advised using a doublecountersink or a bugle head in a standard countersink hole, after asking you a few times if you were sure about this I said it was a stupid idea, and it is. You then called me a **** and carried on persisting in your fantasy. Classic Trump. Why not say that many people have said I'm overrated and get the full house. Sad little loser.
If - IF a bugle head fits the hole better and flush, or IF the d-countersink fits the hole and flush, WHY would it be bad practice to use them? Mr. HandyAndy - Really
If - IF a bugle head fits the hole better and flush, or IF the d-countersink fits the hole and flush, WHY would it be bad practice to use them? Mr. HandyAndy - Really
If - IF a bugle head fits the hole better and flush, or IF the d-countersink fits the hole and flush, WHY would it be bad practice to use them? It was my advice, and I'd like you to tell me why it would be bad practice. Mr. HandyAndy - Really
Why not just use the correct screw in the first place, please remember this wasn't your advice and you called me a **** for suggesting it.
It certainly was my advice. Here's the original: "What is the head on the screws you are using? If they are 'countersunk', try 'double-countersunk' screws, or failing that, 'bugle-head' screws. Or drill the holes of the hinge out a bit. Mr. HandyAndy - Really" And why would it be bad practice to use different screw? Come on man. Spill it. Explain yourself c-arpenter.
not sure if the op dares to return here, but just in case.... Did you buy proper hinges or some cellophane packet thing from a pound shop. because practised chippies don't buy such stuff for their work. Such stuff is often poorly manufactured and deliberately on a different scale of engineering. Consequently you get problems like you are finding, if that is the case.
Your advice is just wrong but you are too stupid to see that, I have explained but you are too stupid to understand what I am saying which is why I am a carpenter and you are a handyman. No offence to multitrades out there.
So I take it you don't have an answer to that. I presume then you are a charlatan and not a bonafide carpenter. Unless of course there is no answer because it is correct. It would NOT be bad practice. Loser.
I never use the supplied screws unless they match the finish of the hinges ect and then I use my own screws till the last minute.
