Default Sheet metal screws vs sheet rock screws....

Awl --

In metal, 16 ga. Related to my doorbuck Q, figgered I'd narrow it down a
little

How do the two compare, both fine and coarse thread? Loads would be mostly
in shear, but there could be some pullout forces.

I've never seen fine/coarse thread sheet metal screws, just in sheet rock
screws. Do they exist?

I'm assuming doorbucks are 16 ga.
