All done Thanks all for the help & advice.

Looks as though screws provided were M4 & 25mm in length but as initial question was re drill bits I was using a 3mm drill bit for pilot hole as per YouTube advice because the solid internal screw shaft sans threads was 3mm MDF is 19mm thick so the 25mm long screws provided would have breached...
