This set includes 10 x M3.5 50mm fully threaded chrome socket screws and 10 x M3.5 extension studs, specifically designed for electrical faceplate installations where standard screw lengths are no longer sufficient.

When used together, each screw and stud forms a combined length of 75mm, allowing faceplates to be fixed securely even after tiling, plastering, or when using deeper pattress boxes.

The extension stud is first threaded into the fixing lug of the back box. The 50mm screw is then passed through the plate and screwed into the stud. This combination provides a secure and adjustable fixing point for sockets and switches mounted on extended wall surfaces.

Perfect for electricians, DIYers, and renovation work where original screw lengths no longer suffice.
