Würth #8 x 7/16" Truss Head Hinge and Drawer Slide Installation Screw Phillips Drive - Sharp Point Coarse Thread Zinc, 3670000235961 1000 - 1000/Box

Phillips Hinge and Drawer Slide Screw for Shallow Panel Fastening

This Würth #8 x 7/16-inch truss head screw is built for mounting hinges and drawer slides where panel depth is limited. The short 7/16-inch length makes it the right call when full-penetration screws would break through thin cabinet sides, melamine panels, or shallow mounting points on hardware plates.

Key Features

• Truss head profile spreads clamping load across a wide, low-profile bearing surface for clean seating against hardware mounting plates.
• #2 Phillips drive works with standard bit sets already on the drill or driver at the bench and on the job site.
• 7/16-inch length keeps the screw tip well within thin panel stock, preventing blowout on shallow cabinet sides and hardware flanges.
• Coarse thread with sharp point cuts quickly into wood and wood composite substrates for fast, secure seating.
• Zinc finish provides standard corrosion protection suited to dry interior cabinetry environments.
• Packed 1,000 to the box supports steady production volume without constant reordering.

Where the 7/16-Inch Length Earns Its Place

Most hinge and drawer slide screws range from 5/8 inch to 3/4 inch, which is the right length for standard 3/4-inch panel stock. But cabinet work regularly turns up situations where a longer screw causes problems: thin panel overlays, hardware flanges with limited clearance behind the mounting face, frameless cabinet sides that are thinner than nominal, and melamine panels where a protruding tip telegraphs through a finished surface. The 7/16-inch length is the answer in those spots. It seats the truss head flush against the hardware plate and stops the tip before it reaches the back face of the material.

Truss Head and Zinc Finish for Hardware Mounting

The truss head's wide, low-profile bearing surface bridges the mounting holes in hinge plates and drawer slide brackets without pulling through or sitting proud in a way that interferes with hardware movement. It is a flat-bearing head, not a countersunk one, so no pre-countersinking is needed. The zinc finish handles the mild humidity typical of kitchen and bath cabinet interiors without corrosion concerns.

Production-Ready for Cabinet Shops and Installers

A box of 1,000 suits the pace of a cabinet shop running face-frame and frameless lines, as well as installers working through multi-cabinet jobs. The #2 Phillips drive is the bit already in most drills on the floor, so there is no bit changeover slowing things down. This screw is for indoor cabinetry: dry, climate-controlled environments where the zinc coating is the right level of protection.

Common Questions

The Right Screw When Panel Depth Is the Constraint

When the job calls for a hinge or drawer slide screw that stops short of the back face, this 7/16-inch truss head is the specific tool for that requirement, keeping hardware mounted cleanly without risk of blowout in thin stock.
