This Würth #8 x 5/8-inch truss head hinge and drawer slide installation screw is built for mounting European cup hinges, drawer slides, and similar cabinet hardware to panels where penetration depth needs to stay shallow. The Antique English finish blends with dark-toned hardware in period-style and transitional cabinet work.
At 5/8 inch, this screw is sized for hardware mounting in standard cabinet panel thicknesses where a longer screw would risk breaking through the back face or entering an adjacent component. European cup hinges, undermount and side-mount drawer slides, and clip-on hinge base plates all mount through pre-bored holes sized to accept a #8 shank, and the truss head seats cleanly against the mounting plate without countersinking. The Type 17 Auger point clears material as it starts, so the screw drives straight and true into the panel without the tip wandering off the pilot hole center. For installers working through the pre-drilled holes of hinge mounting plates or drawer slide clips, that consistent start matters every time.
Antique English is a dark, muted tone that reads as a near-match to oil-rubbed bronze and similar dark hardware finishes. When hinge cups and slide clips are visible inside the cabinet, a screw head that clashes in color draws the eye away from the finished work. This finish keeps the fastener visually recessed against dark-toned hardware, which is especially relevant in face-frame cabinetry with exposed interior hardware or open-shelf cases where the cabinet interior is fully visible. The coarse thread and steel construction are suited for the dry interior environment these applications require.
Cabinet shops building period-style, transitional, or furniture-style cabinetry with dark hardware finishes will find this screw a natural pairing with Antique English and oil-rubbed bronze hinges and slides. It also works well for renovation and replacement installs where the existing hardware is a dark finish and the replacement screw needs to blend rather than contrast. The 1000-count box suits both production environments running dark-finish cabinet lines and contractors who stock a dedicated screw for Antique English hardware throughout a project. Because the truss head does not require a countersink, installation is straightforward: seat the hardware, drive the screw, done.
The truss head has a wider, lower-profile bearing surface than a standard pan head. That wider footprint distributes clamping load over more of the mounting plate, which helps prevent the head from sinking into softer panel material under torque or load cycling.
Yes. The coarse thread and Type 17 Auger point are well suited for particleboard, MDF, and plywood, which are the panel materials most commonly used in cabinet carcass construction.
Antique English is a decorative finish applied over the steel fastener. This screw is intended for dry interior cabinet applications. It is not rated for exterior or high-humidity environments.
The Type 17 Auger point is designed to start without a separate pilot hole in most cabinet panel materials. When driving through a hardware mounting plate, the plate's pre-bored hole serves as the guide, so the screw enters the panel in the correct position.
Yes. The drive size is #2 Phillips, which is standard for #8 screws and fits the drivers most installers already use for cabinet hardware work.
Choosing a screw that matches the hardware finish is a small decision with a visible result. This Würth truss head installation screw gives installers working with Antique English and dark-bronze hardware a purpose-fit fastener that seats correctly, holds securely in cabinet panel material, and stays visually consistent with the finished work.
