Sorry Joe, they are standard fasteners used to attach a metal security door.

Just the unpainted trim would be my guess. Might wanna put some paint on the screw heads to keep them protected from the elements. Call it out but not a deal killer.

Pressure treated wood should always be installed when in masonry contact.

Non-standard, but I'm certain I could unload several magazines in the same time it takes you to remove those fasteners with your drill

Providing you were home. I pointed it out as a defect, and recommended painting the wood.

1. No flashing on top of the door.
2. No paint on trim.
3. Unprofessional installation of security door.
4. Missing caulking on trim to reduce the chance of moisture damage behind the trim and stucco.
