How to read screw sizes?

1) Find the screw thread callout number. It won’t be on the screw. Look to the packaging or store label for more information. 2) Note that the letter “M” means you have a metric screw. Screws with the metric labeling always have the letter M. 3) Look at the first number to find the screw’s diameter. The diameter number will be listed next to the M. 4) Read the next number to figure out the screw’s pitch. The pitch represents the distance in millimeters between the grooves on the screw’s shaft. 5) Use the last number to determine the length of the screw.
