This Würth #8-32 truss head machine screw is a 3/4-inch fine-thread fastener for attaching cabinet knobs, pulls, and decorative hardware to cabinet doors and drawer fronts. The 3/4-inch length suits installations where the combined door or drawer stock is thin and a longer screw would protrude through the back face.
Most cabinet hardware machine screws ship at 1 inch or longer, which works well for standard 3/4-inch door stock plus a knob or pull base. The 3/4-inch version is the right call when the door panel is thinner than nominal — think glass-panel cabinet doors, overlay doors on lightweight slab construction, or decorative hardware on thin drawer fronts. It also works when the pull base is tall enough to eat into that length budget, leaving no room for a longer screw to stop before the back face. If the screw needs to pass through a mounting hole and thread into the hardware fitting itself, confirm the remaining grip length is adequate for the specific pull or knob base before installing.
The truss head sits flat against the panel face and spreads its bearing load across a wider diameter than a pan head or flat head would. There is no countersink required, and the low profile means the head stays out of the way of adjacent hardware on narrow stiles. Zinc plating delivers reliable protection for dry interior cabinetry. This is an indoor screw — kitchen and bath hardware installations in climate-controlled spaces are its home.
Cabinet shops running production lines keep a box of these on hand specifically for thin-panel door and drawer work, where a standard 1-inch or 1-1/4-inch machine screw is a size too long. Hardware installers finishing a kitchen or bath remodel use them when the hardware spec calls for 8-32 and the door thickness is at the short end of the range. The 1,000-count box supports either scenario without constant reordering.
Yes. The 8-32 thread is the North American standard for cabinet hardware, so it threads directly into the tapped holes of virtually all knobs and pulls made for that market.
The truss head has a wider, lower-profile bearing surface than a pan head, which distributes the clamping load over more of the panel face. In thin material, that extra bearing area helps the head seat firmly without digging in.
The 3/4-inch length is often the right fit for glass-panel frames, but the hardware mounting method and frame thickness still govern the correct length. Verify that the grip length seats the hardware flush and does not bottom out before the head contacts the panel.
A #2 Phillips bit fits the combination recess. Machine screws thread into tapped holes or hardware fittings rather than wood, so light torque is typical. An impact driver is usually more than needed and risks over-driving; a standard drill or hand driver gives better control.
The zinc plating is rated for dry indoor use. For outdoor hardware or consistently humid environments, a stainless steel machine screw is the better choice.
A screw that is 1/4 inch too long in thin cabinet stock shows up on the back face and ruins the install. The 3/4-inch Würth #8-32 truss head machine screw exists precisely to prevent that, giving hardware installers and production shops the exact length they need for thin-panel cabinet hardware work.
