Frame-Tite Fasteners: Reliable Self-Drilling Screws for Steel Wall Framing
When you're working with steel frames on site, choosing the best fasteners really pays off. Frame-Tite self-drilling screws are made especially for light-gauge steel framing, offering contractors a reliable and efficient choice.

They boast excellent pull-out resistance, while the low-profile, countersunk head sits perfectly flush for smooth walls.
