Hi
Literally first time ever diy-er so apologies for some stupid questions.
Ive bought a combi drill to put up some shelves and blinds.
Im not entirely sure what screws to get for each fitting.
First i am putting up some blinds on a bracket above a window. It already has a batten fitted (20mm deep) - do i just get a 20mm screw or slightly smaller? Also im assuming for wood you just screw straight in? Not sure if the blind needs it to be countersinked or not screws but i can work that out when i open it
Also im planning on putting a tv mount up and ive found the stud im putting it on. What generally size screws are best for normal studs, its new build so assume its whatever standard stud size is i was going to go with 50mm screws.
Is there any particular good/ bad points to look for in screws in general?
Also any recommended good priced ones welcome thank you and apologies for silly questions
