Framework Laptop 16 screw size
M1.2 / M1.4 / M1.6 / M2 / M2.5 · 1 to 6 mm long
If you are replacing a screw on Framework Laptop 16, the thread is M1.2, M1.4, M1.6, M2 and M2.5 in lengths from 1 to 6 mm.
There are 11 separate fitment records for it, including silver screw, M1.2 thread, 1.0mm length, 3.5mm diameter PH0 head, used to secure internal (M1.2), fastener kit M1.2x1.0 with 3.5mm head (M1.2) and gray screw M1.4 thread, 1.8mm length, 4.0mm diameter PH0 head; Gold screw M1.4 thread, 1.4 (M1.4), plus 8 more in the table below.
Head and drive, as the sources state them: Phillips PH0 and Torx T5 drives.
10 of the 11 records are marked confirmed, drawn from 1 source (ifixit.com).
M1.2 means a 1.2 mm nominal diameter with a 0.25 mm thread pitch. Imperial look-alike: #0-80 UNF (1.52 mm) is the closest imperial screw, but it is bigger — not a substitute.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Laptop covers and brackets often mix two or three lengths of the same thread, so lay the screws out in the order they came out (a magnetic mat or a sheet of paper with the hole pattern drawn on it works).
- Diameter: across the threads an M1.2 screw measures about 1.2 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). This device also uses M1.4 / M1.6 / M2 / M2.5, so measure each screw rather than assuming they match.
- Pitch: 0.25 mm from one thread crest to the next (40 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
- Length: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
- The records span 1–6 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
- Driver: the source names a Phillips PH0 drive. For comparison, standard M1.2 heads take PH000 / JIS 00 (Phillips) or T1–T2 (Torx).
- Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M1.2 is about 5-8 N·cm into metal threads and 3-5 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M1.2 / M1.4 / M1.6 / M2 / M2.5
- Framework lists both M1.2 x 3.0 silver and M1.6 x 3.0 black expansion-card screws; they look identical in the tray but are not interchangeable.
- Sellers often list only thread diameter, so an M1.4x3 drone screw and an M1.4x2.3 phone screw look like the same product.
- M1.6 is the most common laptop-internal micro screw after M2 — Dell XPS keyboards specifically call out M1.6 x 1.5mm, and generic M2 substitutes strip the bracket.
- Framework 13 and 16 use five thread families (M1.2 to M2.5) with overlapping lengths; buy Framework's own fastener kit rather than generic M2 screws.

Questions about Framework Laptop 16 screws
- What size screw does Framework Laptop 16 use?
- M1.2 × 1 mm for silver screw, M1.2 thread, 1.0mm length, 3.5mm diameter PH0 head, used to secure internal components per official Framework fastener guide; M1.2 × 1 mm for fastener kit M1.2x1.0 with 3.5mm head; M1.4 × 1.4–1.8 mm for gray screw M1.4 thread, 1.8mm length, 4.0mm diameter PH0 head; Gold screw M1.4 thread, 1.4mm length, 4.5mm diameter T5 head — both used for internal panel/component fasteners per official fastener guide; M1.4 × 1.4–1.8 mm for fastener kit M1.4x1.4 (4.5mm head) and M1.4x1.8 (4.0mm head); M1.6 × 1.5 mm for grey screw M1.6 thread, 1.5mm length, 5.5mm diameter T5 head, used for internal panel fasteners per official Framework fastener guide; M1.6 × 1.5 mm for fastener.
- How long are the screws in Framework Laptop 16?
- The records range from 1 to 6 mm depending on the position, so match each screw to its own hole.
- What is the thread pitch of an M1.2 screw?
- 0.25 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M1.2 machine screws. The tap drill is 0.95 mm and the normal clearance hole is 1.4 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for Framework Laptop 16?
- The source lists a Phillips PH0 and Torx T5 drive. Standard M1.2 heads otherwise take PH000 / JIS 00 (Phillips) or T1–T2 (Torx).
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M1.2?
- No. Imperial look-alike: #0-80 UNF (1.52 mm) is the closest imperial screw, but it is bigger — not a substitute. Use a true M1.2 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
- Where can I buy replacement screws for Framework Laptop 16?
- TechSpareWarehouse (our own store) lists M1.4 x 2mm, M2 x 2mm and M2 x 2.5mm, which match lengths in the records above.
