This Würth #7 x 5/8" flat head screw is built for mounting cabinet hinges, drawer slides, and hardware to thin cabinet panels where a longer screw would over-penetrate or break through. The short shank, flat head, Phillips drive, and coarse thread work together to deliver a clean, flush-seated installation in frameless and face-frame cabinetry alike.
Cabinet panels built from 1/2" material, thin 5/8" side panels, or narrow stiles leave little margin for a standard 3/4" or 1" screw. Drive a longer screw through the mounting plate of a concealed hinge into one of these panels and the tip can push through the visible face — a defect that costs finishing time and panel stock. At 5/8", this screw engages the panel fully without that risk. It is also the right choice when mounting drawer slides near the back of a shallow cabinet box, or when adding a second row of hardware to a panel that already carries another fastener on the opposite face.
The nickel finish gives this screw a clean, neutral appearance that disappears against white melamine and light-wood cabinet interiors. It also coordinates with nickel and chrome hardware, so the screw head does not stand out against the hinge or slide finish when the door is open or the drawer is pulled. The flat head seats flush in the countersunk pilot holes machined into European hinge mounting plates and standard drawer slide brackets, leaving no raised surface to catch a drawer box or interfere with door swing.
Cabinet shops running production on frameless boxes with 1/2" or thin 5/8" panels reach for these when full-length installation screws are too long for the job. Installers working on-site use them when trimming out shallow wall cabinets, pantry units, or any box where panel depth is tight. Renovation contractors replacing hardware on existing cabinetry find that the 5/8" length matches the original fastener in most European hinge systems without requiring new pilot holes. The 1000-count box supports steady shop use without frequent reorders.
When the cabinet panel is 1/2" or a thin 5/8" thick, a longer screw can break through the panel face. The 5/8" length provides full thread engagement in the panel without the tip reaching the opposite surface.
Yes. European hinge mounting plates and most drawer slide brackets are machined with countersunk holes sized for a flat head screw. The #7 gauge flat head seats flush in those holes when driven to full depth.
Coarse thread is the standard choice for MDF, particleboard, and cabinet-grade plywood. The wider thread spacing grips the fiber matrix of engineered panels well and resists pull-out under normal door and drawer cycling loads.
It works in both. For face-frame cabinets, use it to mount hinge plates and slide brackets to the face frame or side panel where the material is thin enough that a longer screw would over-penetrate.
The nickel finish is a neutral silver tone that blends with white melamine interiors and coordinates with chrome and brushed-nickel hardware finishes. The screw head is not visible during normal use, but it will not stand out if a drawer is fully extended or a door is opened wide.
When panel thickness is the limiting factor, the 5/8" length removes the guesswork and eliminates the risk of a tip breaking through. Stock a box and the correct screw is always within reach when thin panels come up on the job.
