This Würth #10 pan head screw is built for mounting hinges, drawer slides, and cabinet hardware into panels where only a short fastener will fit. The 5/8-inch length makes it the right choice when hardware sits on thin stock or shallow-wall panels and a longer screw would blow through the back face.
Most hinge and drawer slide screws land in the 3/4-inch to 1-inch range, but there are real situations where those lengths are too long. Mounting plates on cabinet doors made from 1/2-inch material, hardware flanges on thin plywood backs, and shallow hinge cups in door-panel stock all call for a shorter fastener. At 5/8 inch, this screw threads in fully, seats the hardware plate, and stops before it reaches the finished or visible face on the opposite side. That matters on glass-door frames, thin overlay doors, and any cabinet interior where a protruding tip would be visible or would interfere with adjacent hardware.
The pan head sits flat against hinge mounting plates and drawer slide flanges, spreading the clamping load evenly without digging into the hardware finish. That flat bearing surface is what separates a proper installation screw from a general wood screw driven into the same hole. The nickel finish holds up in enclosed cabinet interiors and coordinates naturally with the hardware it secures, so visible screw heads in open or glass-front cabinetry stay cohesive with the overall look. Coarse thread gives the screw reliable bite in the plywood, MDF, and solid-wood substrates common in cabinet construction, and the sharp point self-starts without pre-drilling in most panel materials.
Cabinet shops running production lines on frameless or thin-overlay door construction keep this length on hand specifically for the situations where standard-length screws are too deep. Installers finishing kitchens with pre-finished cabinet boxes appreciate the nickel finish on any head that stays in view. Hardware specifiers building out a fastener kit for a run of glass-door or aluminum-frame cabinets will find this the correct screw for thin-stock mounting plates. The 1,000-count box suits shops and installers who go through mounting screws steadily rather than in a single large job.
When the panel behind the mounting plate is 1/2 inch thick or less, a 3/4-inch screw can break through the opposite face or interfere with adjacent hardware. The 5/8-inch length threads fully into the panel and seats the hardware plate without the tip reaching the back surface.
Yes, in plywood, MDF, and most solid-wood cabinet substrates the sharp point self-starts cleanly. For very hard or dense materials, a pilot hole prevents splitting and makes driving more consistent.
The nickel finish provides a layer of corrosion resistance suited for dry indoor cabinet environments. Its main function in a cabinet application is visual: it matches chrome and brushed nickel hardware so screw heads in visible locations stay consistent with the hardware finish.
Yes. The pan head profile is the correct match for the flat flanges on European hinge mounting plates and most drawer slide mounting brackets. It bears against the plate surface evenly rather than sinking in or sitting proud.
This screw is designed for dry indoor cabinet work. For installations in wet areas or exterior environments, a corrosion-resistant fastener rated for that exposure is the right choice.
When thin panels and tight tolerances make standard installation screw lengths impractical, this 5/8-inch Würth pan head screw keeps hardware seated correctly and finishes clean, whether it ends up visible in a glass-front cabinet or tucked away inside a production frameless box.
