Concerns fitting a door with shutter that winds up
I have found several translations for tire-fond (e.g. lag screw), but I was wondering what "TH" meant. Does it change the meaning? The exact phrase is:
"Tire-fond TH 10*60"
Thanks!
"Tire-fond TH 10*60"
Thanks!

@ ST Translations
I realised I haven't answered your question - does it change the meaning - hexagonal head is just a qualifier - a hexagonal head on the screw as opposed to square or flat etc. I'm not a specialist but I think lag screws are most commonly found with hex(agonal) heads.

Tony M
: 'hex head' is probably more common; and no, lag screws are very often (traditionally) found with square heads, hence why it might be specifically stated

Note that another translation, at least for certain types of tire-fond, is 'coach screw'
