The Amerock #6 x 1/2-inch flat head screw in Burnished Brass is a short, finish-matched installation fastener sized for mounting decorative cabinet hardware where panel thickness is limited and a flush, color-coordinated result is required.
At 1/2 inch (13 mm), this screw is intentionally short. That length suits installations where the combined thickness of the hardware base and the door or drawer panel leaves little room for a longer fastener. Thin overlay door panels, glass-insert frames, and lightweight decorative hardware with shallow mounting posts are all situations where a standard 1-inch screw would bottom out, crack the panel, or emerge from the back face. This screw threads in fully, seats the head flush, and stops where it should.
Burnished Brass is a warm, antiqued brass tone used across a wide range of Amerock decorative hardware. When the screw head is visible in the hardware recess, a color-matched fastener keeps the installation looking intentional rather than assembled. Steel construction with a Burnished Brass finish gives the screw adequate strength for its load while the head blends into the surrounding hardware plate rather than standing out against it.
Cabinet installers replacing missing or stripped screws in existing Burnished Brass hardware reach for this SKU first. Designers and renovators specifying Amerock brass-family hardware for kitchen or bath cabinetry keep a supply on hand so every install goes in with matched fasteners. Homeowners swapping out pulls or knobs on thin cabinet doors find this length forgiving when the original screw left a tight pocket. In each case, the short length and matched finish are what make this the right screw rather than a substitute pulled from a general hardware bin.
Some cabinet door panels and hardware bases are thin enough that a standard 3/4-inch or 1-inch screw would punch through or bottom out before the head seats. The 1/2-inch length stops short of the back face and seats the flat head flush without over-penetrating.
Possibly. Burnished Brass as a finish name appears across multiple hardware brands, but tone and sheen vary by manufacturer. The closest match will always be with Amerock hardware that specifies this finish by name.
A standard #2 Phillips bit. No specialty tooling is needed.
That depends on the hardware. Most decorative hardware plates already include a countersunk hole sized for a flat head screw. If you are driving this screw directly into wood without a hardware plate, a small countersink will seat the head flush.

A mismatched or wrong-length screw is one of the most common ways a clean cabinet installation falls short at the finish line. This 1/2-inch Burnished Brass flat head screw exists to close that gap for thin-panel and shallow-base applications where standard screws do not fit the job.
