Default 120 mm drywall screws wherefrom?

Anyone know where I can get 120mm drywall screws?
I have found a palletfull from China,
but in UK only up to 100mm,
which doesnt quite get through the drywall, kingspan and old plaster.

They don't need to be drywall screws.
You can get four, five and six inch ordinary screws from a decent hardware
store for this

They are corrosion proof and the fine point and head design are designed to
hold the PB without tearing the paper or cracking the core.

True if youre skimming, but if you're not then only use pb screws,
ordinary ones make a right mess of the pb surface.
