This Würth #10 pan head hinge and drawer slide installation screw is sized at 5/8 inch for mounting hinges, drawer slides, and cabinet hardware to panels where a longer screw would over-penetrate or break through the back face. The Phillips drive and Type 17 Auger point deliver a fast, clean start with the bits already on hand.
Hinge cups, drawer slide clips, and mounting brackets are designed to position hardware precisely against a panel face. When the panel is thin — a 1/2-inch cabinet side, a frameless box with thinner material, or any panel where a standard 3/4-inch or 1-inch screw would run too deep — the 5/8-inch length keeps the point safely within the panel. This is the screw to reach for when you need the hardware mounted tight and the panel face intact. It also works well in overlay and face-frame hinge installations where the mounting plate sits against 1/2-inch material and a longer screw is simply not the right call.
The pan head profile bears flat against the mounting plate, distributing clamping load evenly without requiring a countersink. Hinge plates and drawer slide mounting clips are designed around this bearing surface, so the screw seats correctly and holds hardware tight. The #2 Phillips drive is the most common bit size in cabinetry work, which means no bit change and no delay. The Nickel finish keeps the screw head from standing out against the hardware or the cabinet interior, an advantage in finished or visible spaces where bare steel would look out of place.
Cabinet shops running production lines need a reliable stock of installation screws in the sizes that match their panel thickness. When 3/4-inch and 1-inch screws are the workhorses for standard panels, the 5/8-inch version fills the gap for thinner stock and keeps the hardware installation moving without hunting for a substitute. Installers working in the field benefit from the same logic: having the right short screw on hand means no improvised fix when a panel is thinner than expected. The 1000-count box suits both settings, providing enough volume to last across a full run of cabinets or a multi-cabinet installation job.
A 5/8-inch screw is the right choice when the panel is thin enough that a longer screw would break through the back face or bottom of the panel. It keeps the point within the material while still providing solid thread engagement.
This length is well suited to 1/2-inch and thicker panels where penetration depth needs to stay controlled. For standard 3/4-inch panels with typical hinge plate geometry, the 5/8-inch length provides reliable engagement without over-penetrating.
No. The pan head is designed to sit flat on the surface of the mounting plate. Hinge and drawer slide hardware is built to accept a pan head bearing surface, so no countersink is needed.
Nickel is a neutral metallic finish that works with most hinge and slide hardware finishes used in cabinet interiors, including chrome, brushed nickel, and zinc-toned components.
The coarse thread and Type 17 Auger point are effective in engineered panels including MDF and particleboard. Pre-drilling is not required in most applications, though edge-proximity and panel density will affect holding strength.
When the hardware spec calls for a short installation screw and there is no room for error on penetration depth, the 5/8-inch version does the job cleanly — keeping hinges and slides locked in place without compromising the panel behind them.
