The Würth #8 x 1-1/4" modified washer head drawer front adjusting screw is built for attaching and aligning drawer fronts to drawer boxes in kitchen, bath, and furniture cabinetry. The 1-1/4" length works through a typical drawer box face and into the drawer front, giving you the thread engagement you need while staying clear of the finished face.
Drawer front adjusting screws are a specific product for a specific job. The oversized modified washer head bears against the drawer box face around an elongated slot or oversized clearance hole, holding the front in position while you fine-tune the reveal before final tightening. At 1-1/4", this length suits the most common drawer box wall thickness — 1/2-inch or 5/8-inch plywood or MDF — giving the coarse thread enough material to pull the drawer front snug without bottoming out short or punching through the back of the front panel. Once alignment is confirmed, a final drive torques the front flush and holds it there.
The combination Phillips/square recess accepts a #2 Phillips or a #2 square bit in the same head. Square drive is the better choice when the screw is going in at an awkward angle inside a cabinet box, because the recess is designed to keep the bit engaged without camming out. The Type 17 auger point uses a fluted tip to clear chips as the screw enters the drawer front stock, reducing the torque spike and splitting risk that a plain sharp point can cause when driving into end grain or dense plywood edge material.
Cabinet shops assembling frameless or face-frame boxes with overlay drawer fronts will find this screw at home on the assembly bench. It works equally well in a production run where a dozen drawer fronts go on per cabinet and in a custom shop attaching single fronts one at a time. Installers doing a site-built kitchen can use the same screw when hanging drawer fronts after the boxes are in place. The zinc finish keeps it appropriate for any dry interior cabinetry application. For shops running high volume, the 1000-piece box supports a full project or a production day without restocking mid-run.
The screw has to pass through the drawer box wall and engage enough of the drawer front to hold it firmly during adjustment and after final tightening. At 1-1/4", this screw suits drawer boxes built from 1/2-inch or 5/8-inch plywood or MDF, giving the threads roughly 5/8 to 3/4 inch of engagement in the drawer front without breaking through the face.
The wide, flat bearing surface of the modified washer head spans the clearance hole in the drawer box face. That lets you slide the front laterally or vertically for alignment while the screw is snugged down, then torque it fully once the gap is dialed in. A standard pan or flat head would not bridge the clearance hole reliably.
The combination recess accepts either a #2 Phillips or a #2 square bit. Square drive tends to be the better choice for tight cabinet interiors because it holds the bit more securely in the recess when driving at an angle, but a Phillips bit works fine in a straight-on position.
Yes. Frameless box construction commonly uses 5/8-inch or 3/4-inch sheet goods for the drawer box wall, and the 1-1/4" length gives adequate thread engagement through those thicknesses. The modified washer head and clearance-hole design are standard for both frameless and face-frame configurations.
The Type 17 auger point is designed to self-start in plywood and MDF without a pilot hole in most cases. In solid hardwood drawer fronts or when working close to an edge, a pilot hole reduces the risk of splitting.
When the drawer box is 1/2-inch or 5/8-inch plywood and the front needs a solid, adjustable connection, the 1-1/4" drawer front adjusting screw covers it cleanly — enough thread to hold, not so long that it risks punching through, and packed 1000 to the box for shops that move through drawer fronts at volume.
