Italian term

viti a tirare

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) door fittings
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.
Proposed translations (English)
2 pull-screws
3 self tapping screws

pull-screws

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.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "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."

self tapping screws

Just an idea. They are those screws which cut their own female thread in the wood.
