Anyone seen a screw like this Screw used for fastening Hidloc clips for Green Plank composite decking next to a ruler and clip on wooden surface. ? It's used to attach Hidloc clips to Green Plank composite decking and I've misplaced the screws that came with the set. It's a bit frustrating to have to pay 800:- again for a complete set, if it's even available! The hole in the clip is 5.0 mm.

It resembles a regular ankarskruv.

Any screw will do for that as long as it has some form of rust protection, right?

An anchor screw has a head that is too high, so it probably needs a flatter screw head that is evenly 5 mm or slightly larger to fit the clips. Will need about a hundred, so grinding down is not an option…!

Unfortunately, there are boards on top, so the clip must go flush with the board above. Otherwise, the board only rests on the screw heads in the clips. If any screw would have worked, I wouldn't have needed to visit Bauhaus, K-Rauta, and Swedol with no success.

I have a feeling it might be something spax-like?

Close-up of a metal screw with a 5.4 mm head, measured using a plastic ruler. Close-up of a steel screw with a 5.4 mm head on a white surface, related to construction or DIY projects.
This is how they look in close-up, and unfortunately it's outdoors in steel clips. The head measures 5.4 mm with a plastic measuring stick...
 
It seems to be Green Plank's own product, have you checked with them? In the best case, you might be able to buy a bag of screws directly from them.
 

Best answer

Drill the hole in the clip and countersink it so any countersunk wood screw fits.
