This Würth #8 x 1-1/8 inch drawer front adjusting screw is built for attaching and aligning drawer fronts to drawer boxes in face-frame and frameless cabinetry. The modified washer head, Type 17 auger point, and Phillips/square combination drive work together to let you set the front in position, fine-tune the gap, and lock it down cleanly.
Drawer front installation has two stages: initial placement and final tightening. The 1-1/8 inch length on this screw suits typical drawer box face thickness, giving enough thread engagement to hold the front firmly once alignment is confirmed. The modified washer head bears against the mounting clip or elongated slot in the drawer box, which is what allows lateral and vertical adjustment before the screw is fully driven. Drive it snug enough to hold position, align all fronts across the run, then drive to final torque. The broad head keeps the front stable throughout that process without over-stressing the material around the fastener hole.
The Phillips/square combination recess is designed to hold a correctly sized bit for one-handed screw placement, which is useful when your other hand is steadying the drawer front. Square drive delivers better cam-out resistance under torque; Phillips keeps the screw compatible with most cordless drivers already on the truck or in the shop. The Type 17 auger point reduces the driving force needed to start the screw, which matters when you are running through a full kitchen or bath install and do not want to pre-drill each mounting hole.
Production cabinet shops building and installing drawer fronts in volume will get the most from the 1,000-count pack. The screw also suits finish carpenters and installers who need a reliable, purpose-built fastener for drawer front work rather than pulling a generic wood screw from the bag. It is an indoor screw for dry cabinet interiors. If the application involves moisture-exposed environments, a coated or stainless option would be the right call instead.
Drawer front adjusting screws are designed to work with the elongated slots or clips on drawer boxes, letting you shift the front laterally or vertically before final tightening. A standard wood screw pulls tight immediately and does not allow that adjustment window.
Yes. The combination recess accepts a standard #2 Phillips bit. A #2 square bit will also fit the same recess and generally provides better cam-out resistance under higher torque.
Length selection depends on your drawer box face thickness and the depth of the mounting hardware slot. For typical 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch drawer box faces, 1-1/8 inch provides solid thread engagement without punching through the back of the box. Check your hardware manufacturer's recommendation if you are unsure.
This screw has a zinc finish suited for dry interior conditions. It is not the right choice for exterior installations or cabinets in persistently wet environments.
No. The modified washer head is a non-countersunk profile designed to bear flat against the mounting surface or hardware clip. It does not seat into a countersink.
When every drawer front in a run needs to land at the same gap and height, the right adjusting screw makes the difference between finishing the install in one pass and going back to re-set fronts. This Würth 1-1/8 inch drawer front screw gives installers and cabinet shops the length, head bearing surface, and drive flexibility to get that alignment locked in without extra steps.
