This Würth #8 x 5/8-inch pan head hinge and drawer slide installation screw is sized for mounting European cup hinges, drawer slides, and other cabinet hardware to 3/4-inch panels where a longer screw would risk punching through the back face. The Phillips drive, coarse thread, and Type 17 auger point work together for fast, clean seating in a single pass.
At 5/8 inch, this screw is specifically proportioned for hardware mounting situations where panel thickness is the limiting factor. European cup hinge plates and drawer slide mounting clips are typically secured into 3/4-inch cabinet sides and face frames, leaving very little clearance between the screw tip and the panel's finished face. The 5/8-inch length provides solid thread engagement in the panel without the tip breaking through. This makes it the right call when installing hinges on frameless cabinet boxes, mounting drawer slides close to a panel edge, or securing hardware brackets on thinner stock.
The pan head sits flat against the hardware mounting plate, spreading the clamping load evenly across the plate's surface. This head style is standard for hinge and drawer slide installation because it seats predictably in the pre-formed holes of European hardware without requiring a countersink. The Type 17 auger point starts the screw cleanly in plywood, particleboard, and MDF by clearing material ahead of the thread, which lowers the torque needed to drive the screw home and reduces the chance of splitting at the screw entry. A #2 Phillips bit drives it, so no specialty tooling is needed.
Cabinet shops running European frameless construction go through hinge and drawer slide screws in volume. A 1000-count box covers a substantial run of boxes without requiring a reorder mid-project. Installers working on site appreciate a screw that drives consistently without stripping or wandering, especially when working inside a finished cabinet box at an awkward angle. The zinc finish suits the dry indoor environment of a cabinet interior, where moisture exposure is not a factor and a sacrificial coating is unnecessary. This screw also works for custom furniture builders, millwork shops, and finish carpenters who need a short, reliable hardware mounting screw on hand.
Most European hinge plates and drawer slide clips are mounted into 3/4-inch panels. A 5/8-inch screw engages the panel solidly while keeping the tip well clear of the finished face on the opposite side.
Yes. The coarse thread and Type 17 auger point are well suited to particleboard, MDF, and plywood, which are the standard materials for cabinet box construction.
No. The pan head is designed to bear flat against the surface of the hardware plate. European hinge and drawer slide mounting holes are sized for a pan or cylindrical head, so no countersink is needed or appropriate.
It can be used wherever a short #8 pan head screw fits the hardware's mounting hole and the panel is thick enough for thread engagement. For face-frame mounting, confirm the frame stock thickness is sufficient for the 5/8-inch length.
Yes. Zinc provides adequate corrosion protection for dry indoor environments. Kitchen and bath cabinet interiors fall within that range under normal conditions.
When the job calls for a short, reliable hardware mounting screw that seats cleanly without punching through the panel, this 5/8-inch Würth hinge and drawer slide installation screw keeps cabinet and millwork installs moving from the first hinge to the last drawer slide.
