PING Mike O. re pocket door casing

Mike,
I assumed that the trim screws you referred to would be drywall screws.
Correct assumption?

Thanks

Trim screws have a smaller head. The ones we use have are square
drive. You should be able to find them at any lumber yard or one of
the big box stores.

Trimhead screws are something special. Generally smaller heads, Robertson
style, with a cut tip, to allow drilling without requiring a pilot hole.
Small sizes only, in my limited exposure to them.

Patriarch, who has only used a couple of hundred of them...

I've always been under the assumption that trim screws were merely flat head
screws with smaller than normal heads.
