great advice, and i would even generalize this to suggest that you should toss any fasteners that come bundled with low cost products (obviously there are exceptions with specialty fasteners and such). you can get a package of drywall screws or drywall anchors (into which you can drill screws) of decent quality at any hardware store. i have saved a lot of blood, sweat, and tears by not dealing with stripped screws, flimsy drywall anchors that shred, etc. |

Any fixture that comes from China these days seems to have pot-metal screws, which will pop a head at the slightest torque. Or just because they feel like it.
Just buy a box of drywall screws, and two assorted (different length / size) packs of exterior screws and machine screws, preferably ones that comes in a nice divided box, and pull from there.
