What size screws are used to hold the wires and fuse in a electric plug

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.02 PM

I have lost tiny screws that go into my smoke alarm so used the small screws out of a plug that I now need to replace. The only problem is I don't know the size of these tiny gold screws. Can someone please let me no and are they normal screws or electrical screws?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

By the time you search and find the screw it may cost you more than just buying a new plug. I would just by a new plug?

You could go to Clerkenwell screws in Clerkenwell. But it would be a lot cheaper to buy a new plug

Best to buy a new plug, if you put any screws in and there not the right ones they could be loose which could cause a fire

a new plug will cost less than the postage to send you a screw
