Securlec Machine Screws – Zinc Plated M6 x 50mm | Pack of 2
Heavy-Duty Zinc-Plated Machine Screws for Secure, Long-Depth Fastening in Electrical and Mechanical Applications
The Securlec M6 x 50mm Zinc-Plated Machine Screws are high-strength fasteners designed for dependable performance in demanding applications that require deeper, more secure fixings. With a 6mm metric thread (M6) and an extended 50mm length, these screws are ideally suited for securing electrical fixtures, equipment panels, cable trunking, metal components, or bracketry to pre-threaded surfaces or through-holes with nuts.
Each screw is crafted from durable steel and finished with a protective zinc-plated coating to help resist corrosion and rust—making them a practical choice for indoor environments, particularly in electrical and mechanical settings. Sold in a pack of 2, these screws are perfect for replacements, system upgrades, or small-scale professional projects.

Installation Guidelines
Ensure the receiving surface is tapped or prepared for M6 thread or use with M6 nuts for through-fixings.
Select the appropriate tool based on the head type (slotted, Phillips, or hex).
Always hand-start the screw to prevent cross-threading.
Do not overtighten—use controlled torque especially with soft or non-metallic materials.
Threadlocker may be used for extra vibration resistance if necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: Can these be used with rawl plugs or wall anchors?
A: While these are primarily designed for metal-to-metal fastening, they can be used with appropriate M6 wall plugs or anchors for secure fixing into masonry or concrete.
Q2: Are they suitable for outdoor use?
A: These screws are zinc-plated for basic corrosion protection and are suitable for indoor or semi-sheltered environments. For prolonged outdoor use, stainless steel screws are recommended.
Q3: Can I cut the screws if they’re too long?
A: Yes, the screws can be trimmed using a hacksaw or screw cutter. Be sure to clean the threads after cutting to ensure smooth re-entry.
Q4: What tools do I need to install them?
A: That depends on the head type. Most M6 screws use hex, slotted, or crosshead drivers. The appropriate screwdriver or socket wrench should be used for safe installation.
Q5: Are these compatible with electrical metal back boxes?
A: Yes, they are compatible with back boxes or fixings that accept M6 threads, particularly in cases where additional length or strength is required.
