Longer screws for Ring Spotlight Wired cam
I am installing the Ring Spot Wired cam on vinyl siding. The included screws are not long enough to reach through to wood behind the siding. What size screws are included? Everything I find that is longer is also thinker with a bigger head. Thanks.

Chelsea I am having the same issue and your answer does not match what screws i have. I purchased a Spotlight battery operated cam with solar. It came with five anchors and five thin 1 inch long screws. I need at least 3 1/2 - 4 inch length screws to go through the vinyl siding and grab on wood. How do I get longer screws? What size are these screws?

THi @ggmatsnet. To build upon what Chelsea suggested, you can take the screws you have to a local hardware store. In the "screw section" there is typically a tool there that will help you find the thread pitch for the specific screw you have. [quote="Chelsea_Ring, post:2, topic:2813"] You may be able to find some longer ones at a local hardware store! You could bring in the screw to the store and they should be able to help you out. Hope this helps! [/quote]

Go straight to an Ace Hardware store. Don't even bother with Home Depot or Lowes. Ace has bins and bins of any screw or other fastener available in galvanized, or even stainless steel. You can also get just one, or two or whatever you need rather than an entire bag.

Hey @Kb36. The included screw size is 5 in. x 2 in. x 3 in. You may be able to find some longer ones at a local hardware store! You could bring in the screw to the store and they should be able to help you out. Hope this helps!
