Flow Snowboard screws?

I just bought a Flow snowboard, and the screws from my bindings don't want to screw in more than 1 and half turns (not nearly enough). So I'm wondering if there are different thread types for different boards, and if so, how do I find out, possibly a website? Or should I just use a screw driver and use a little force to get it in?

Update:

I've looked for specifications, but it didn't say anywhere on it what screw size was needed. I just paid $3 for some 14mm screws but no go...

    The screws should have a 5mm diameter by how ever long. You'll need to know the pitch of the thread if you go to the hardware store to buy screws, it should be either 1.00 or 1.25. Your best bet is to go to a snowboard shop and buy a set of screws as the screws used to mount bindings have a posi-drive head. If the screws you have only thread in about one thread, they are the wrong screws and forcing them in with trash your inserts. If you can't find some at a shop, look for screws labeled M5x14 (if 14mm is the length you need) and then find the right thread pitch.

    The screws and the thread in the board are not the same. Read the specifications about the board and the bindings. You need to replace the screws.

    I have been snowboarding for 7 years and i have owned a pair of 02-03 Flow Bindings and they worked great. They were super easy to get in and out of, snow never got caught in them, and they kept my foot down well until the screw that holds the tension on the powercable fell out, then I had a lot of freeplay in the heel. I got some Burton P1's after that. The new flow models get snow caught in them easier but they made it so the screw can't fall out. The flight threes are a good binding, but I would suggest Burton Escapade, Notori, or Lexa.
