Description
What are 7.5 x 120mm Concrete Frame Screws used for?
Concrete frame screws (also known as masonry bolts or thunderbolts) are the professional’s choice for heavy-duty structural fixings. The 120mm length is specifically engineered to bridge the gap between a modern window frame and the inner leaf of a building. Unlike traditional expansion bolts, these concrete frame screws do not exert outward pressure on the masonry, making them the safest choice for fixing near the edges of brickwork or in older, more fragile stone.
Why Choose a Torx Head for Masonry Installations?
Driving a 120mm fastener into solid masonry requires significant torque. Our concrete frame screws utilize a T30 Torx (Star) drive system, which provides a superior mechanical grip between the screwdriver bit and the screw head. This ensures that the concrete frame screws can be driven home at high speeds without the bit slipping or stripping the head, even when working with high-density engineering bricks or reinforced concrete.
High-Low Thread for Superior Pull-Out Resistance
At ECO HEAT SHOP, we supply fixings designed for structural reliability. These concrete frame screws feature a unique “high-low” serrated thread pattern. As the screw is driven into a pre-drilled pilot hole, the hardened threads cut a precise internal thread into the masonry itself. This creates a mechanical interlock that is incredibly resistant to shear and pull-out forces. The bright zinc plating ensures the fixing remains protected against corrosion in both internal and external environments.

Installation Advice: To ensure a successful fix with concrete frame screws, you must first drill a 6.0mm or 6.5mm pilot hole using a high-quality masonry bit. Always drill the hole 10mm to 15mm deeper than the screw’s intended depth to allow room for dust and debris, ensuring the screw can be fully tightened without bottoming out.
