This Würth #8 x 1-1/4 inch truss head machine screw is an 8-32 fine-thread fastener for attaching knobs, pulls, and decorative hardware to cabinet doors and drawer fronts. The 1-1/4 inch length suits installations where the combined material thickness calls for more thread engagement than a shorter screw provides, such as thicker solid-wood drawer fronts or stacked panel constructions.
Most standard cabinet hardware screws run 1 inch or shorter, which works well for thin overlay doors and shallow drawer fronts. When the door or drawer construction adds up — solid hardwood faces, applied molding details, or a thick slab front — the extra quarter inch of thread engagement that this length provides keeps the connection secure and the hardware sitting flat against the face. This length also works well when a shallow standoff or decorative backplate is part of the hardware assembly, adding to the effective material stack the screw must bridge.
The truss head's wide diameter spreads the clamping force over a larger footprint than a pan head would, which matters when the hardware base opening is generously sized or when the screw must bear directly against a finish surface. The low overall height keeps the head from telegraphing through thin overlays or catching on adjacent surfaces inside the cabinet. The Phillips/Slotted recess means the screw is accessible with whichever driver is at hand during a hardware install or a service call.
Hardware installers and cabinet shops go through 8-32 machine screws steadily — every knob and pull on a project needs at least one, and pulls need two. A box of 100 covers a mid-size job or keeps the shop stocked without committing to a large-quantity purchase. Because 8-32 is the standard thread across nearly all North American decorative hardware brands, these screws work as a general-purpose supply rather than a product-specific consumable. Interior cabinet work is the right environment for this zinc-finish screw.
The 1-1/4 inch length is the right choice when the combined thickness of the door or drawer front, any applied backplate, and the hardware base exceeds what a 1 inch screw can bridge while still threading fully into the knob or pull. Thicker slab fronts and hardware assemblies with decorative backplates are the most common cases.
A truss head has a wider diameter than a standard pan head, so it distributes clamping force over a larger area. This is useful when the hardware opening is large relative to the screw head, or when the screw bears directly against a finished cabinet face rather than recessing into a counterbore.
8-32 is the industry-standard thread for North American cabinet hardware, so this screw is compatible with virtually all knobs and pulls from standard hardware brands. Always confirm the thread specification on any imported or specialty hardware before ordering.
The combination recess accepts a #2 Phillips bit or a flat-blade bit. Either works for installation and removal.
The zinc finish is suited to dry indoor use. It is not rated for exterior exposure or humid environments where a more corrosion-resistant coating would be needed.
Getting screw length right on a hardware install is a small detail that shows in the finished result. This 1-1/4 inch 8-32 truss head screw gives cabinet installers and shops a reliable length for thicker door and drawer constructions, stocked in a quantity that makes sense for active project work.
