Good deal for 1lb boxes. If you can use 5 lb, home Depot has these exact same ones cheaper at only $10 a pound.

Stainless is nice, but expensive. There is little to no difference [deckwise.com] between 304 and the OP 305 SS, whereas the best available would probably be the 316 SS used for Marine application. The Type 17 point, like the OP is the most common to not 'normally' have to pre-drill.

That said, most residential applications can get by with epoxy coated deck screws. For those, the deal from Lowes for 1,000 -10 x 2-1/2" [lowes.com] and the 800 -10 x 3" [lowes.com], both Type 17 point, delivered for $29.98 are hard to beat.
FYI: 1# is about 75 screws. Sometimes I'm shocked how fast I can burn through 75 screws. Maybe for many folks you'll be better off with the HD 5# bucket.

.Today, professional deck builders that are not cheap, use an EPDM self sealing, self sticking membrane cover...Personally, I think concealed fasteners look better; especially on composite decks.
I agree with this too, and it's the approach I have taken with both my deck and porch rebuild.

Would these work for securing the dead bolt plate so the door frame doesn't get kicked in too easily?

Since there should be two studs and with the space between door frame and farming, I would opt for the 3" length. But, these will work.

That said, a residential door frame is typically comprised of 3/4" wood that is anchored with finish nails. Longer screws in the deadbolt, locking latch AND hinges will help, but the whole door frame with door can be knocked in pretty easily. There are several other security options and plates that help, but they all need anchored back into the studs.

Security is all about barriers and probably the best place to start after visible cameras and lights is with an outside, out swing steel security storm door with latch and deadbolt. We installed those on all of our apartments. Mounted on the outside frame with security screws, nobody is kicking it in and they will be a bit trying to pry open, or using a battery operated cutoff blade. We also installed same at entrance of courtyard with a digital pad. And of course, your one last form of life insurance is the proficiency with a weapon of choice.

Good price, but I had to do a double take. The title should be #10 x 2-1/2", not 10" x 2-1/2". 10" screws with a 2-1/2" diameter would be some kind of speciality lag screw.
Yeah, that's what I entered, but for some reason it translated over to 10" when it auto reformatted for front page. I just now tried to edit, and the editable text even says #10, so I can't fix the error. Ah well.

Stainless steel rusts.
It's stain less, not stain free. It also rusts less rather than being rust free.

Went back to product page and still showing $18.82.

Before they came out with the self sealing EPDM, we capped the joists with U shaped aluminum we bent on a siding brake and used SS screws. Many a deck looks decent on top, but all the under framing is rotting.

Before that, my Grandfather treated all wood used outdoors, including new wood ladders with a mix of heated half linseed oil and half turpentine until the wood would not absorb anymore; about three coats. That would last for decades and far longer than treated lumber.

Another practice the old timers did with wood porches and decking is to overlap about 3 inches. They cut a groove on the bottom about an inch in from the edge for capillary water action that as it followed back, would drip down at that groove. In 15 or 20 years when the edge was rotting, they simply cut that part off and resealed the new edge. It worked well. Similar can be found with quality roofers that hold the drip edge out about 1/2" so the water drips straight down rather than back to the wood roof decking and down the soffit face.

The trouble with the 3C's is often a time delay and it cannot catch coupon discount deals. It is a good source, but just know it's limitations for price history research.

I'm not talking about to semantics, like "lifetime warranty" doesn't mean life time, I wanted to know if this will rusts in a couple of years or do I need to invest in something better that will last 10 or so years.

Ah. Well, other than higher grades of SS, this'll be your best shot at lasting 10 years.

From my experience with deck screws, quite a bit of the coating comes off when screwed into wood. Rust starts within a year. I would spend a little more and go with stainless steel

I have no idea what you are anchoring into, but personally, I would probably buy 316SS for whatever marine. You may have and we do have a local wholesale screw/anchor supplier that should be cheaper than box stores with a zillion more options and expertise to share. If you are anchoring into metal, such as a steel or aluminum John boat, that is a different screw/anchor.
Will be framing a front deck with 2x2 and 5/8" plywood.
Quote from ph7 :
Marine grade (316) stainless is the best. Costs more, but marine environments are tough.

Thank you. Cancelled my order and got this. What screws do you recommend for diy projects inside the house .

Most people accumulate a variety by left over types from various projects over time. You could buy a variety and still not have the right size and type you need for a specific project, but if I had to choose one type to have, it would probably be cheap drywall screws for wood in various lengths that work for a lot of projects. High carbon, they are super hard, but with that carbon content, they also rust if exposed outside.

Coated screws are perfect for a typical wooden deck. The rate of wood decline and eventual replacement is much higher than the rate of screw decline and replacement.
