Quickscrews #6 x 5/8" Undercut Flat Head Hinge and Drawer Slide Installation Screw Phillips Drive - Type 17 Auger Point Coarse Thread Zinc, 6130 - 1000/Box

Zinc Finish And a Flat Seating Profile Built for Hardware Installation

The Quickscrews #6 x 5/8" undercut flat head screw is a dedicated hinge and drawer slide installation screw designed to mount European cup hinges, side-mount drawer slides, and other cabinet hardware to interior panel faces. The zinc finish and coarse thread pair with a Type 17 auger point and a #2 Phillips drive to make this a reliable workhorse for cabinet shops and installers working through boxes at production pace.

Key Features

• Undercut flat head seats flush in hardware mounting plates without the countersink depth a standard flat head requires.
• Type 17 auger point cuts into the cabinet panel quickly and helps reduce splitting near hardware bore holes.
• Coarse thread grips solidly in plywood, MDF, particleboard, and melamine-faced panel stock.
• #2 Phillips drive works with the Phillips bits already in most shop and site driver kits.
• Zinc finish provides standard indoor corrosion resistance for dry cabinet interiors.
• 1,000 screws per box keeps production moving without frequent restocking stops.

Where This Screw Does Its Best Work

Hinge plates, drawer slide clips, and hardware mounting brackets all share a common requirement: a short screw that seats cleanly into the mounting plate without protruding past the head or pulling the plate away from the panel face. The undercut flat head is shallower than a standard 82-degree countersunk head, so it seats precisely in the pre-formed countersinks on European hinge plates and slide mounting clips without requiring a deeper bore. At 5/8 inch, the length is matched to mounting into 3/4-inch cabinet panels, where it engages the material fully without breaking through to the finished face. The Type 17 auger point clears chips at the tip as it enters, which matters when driving into the face of a cabinet side or a frameless box panel where the material is right at the surface.

Zinc Finish for Dry Cabinet Interiors

The zinc plating on this screw is the right call for enclosed cabinet interiors: kitchen cabs, bath vanities, laundry cabinets, and built-ins that stay dry. The coating protects the steel from the ambient humidity and minor condensation a finished interior sees without adding cost or complexity you do not need for inside work. Because hardware installation screws are recessed inside mounting plates once the hardware is seated, the finish also provides a clean, consistent appearance in the assembled cabinet. For any application that lives outside or in a high-moisture environment, choose a screw with a more robust corrosion-resistant coating.

A Production-Volume Screw for Cabinet Shops and Installers

This screw earns its place on shops that run volume. A kitchen install typically calls for dozens of hinge screws and slide screws per job, and a production cabinet shop burns through multiples of that daily. The 1,000-count box means less time at the parts bin and more time at the cabinet. The #2 Phillips drive runs on the same bits used across most other shop fasteners, so there is no separate driver setup for hardware installation. Installers working from a site bag will find the box easy to portion out and the coarse thread forgiving in the variety of panel materials that show up across different job sites.

Common Questions

The Right Screw in the Right Place, Every Time

When hinge plates and slide clips seat cleanly and hardware sits square, the rest of the cabinet install goes faster. This Quickscrews #6 x 5/8" zinc undercut flat head screw is built specifically for that moment, in the volume that production work demands.
