GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English translation:pull screws

Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / door fittings
Italian term or phrase: viti a tirare
L'elevata robustezza del cover e il sistema di fissaggio alla cerniera tramite viti a tirare, rendono il cover rimovibile solo ad anta aperta.

The passage describes a hinge cover for a door fitting. The cover fits over the hinge itself (using screws) and increases its tamper-proof properties.
Elsewhere in the source text, the fastening method is described using just 'viti', but here it is more specific.

James may well be right but I thought I would draw your attention to these sites (all German admittedly) that use pull-screw in connection with door hinges or locks.

Thanks to both of you for your helpful answers. As self-tapping screws are specifically mentioned elsewhere in the text, pull screws seems to fit best in this case.
