Face Frame and Pocket-Hole Screw For Hardwood Joinery

The Würth #7 x 1-1/4" Washer Head Face Frame and Pocket-Hole Screw is a fine-thread, square-drive fastener built for joining hardwood face frame members and pocket-hole joinery in cabinet construction. The washer head pulls the joint tight across the face without sinking through narrow stock, and the Type 17 Auger point starts cleanly in dense hardwoods without splitting the grain.

Key Features

• Washer head with broad bearing surface pulls the joint tight and distributes clamping load across narrow face-frame stock without pull-through.
• Fine thread engineered for hardwood grips dense species like maple, oak, cherry, and walnut with controlled pull-out resistance and minimal splitting risk.
• Type 17 Auger point cuts a clean entry path in hardwood, reducing torque and driving effort at the tip.
• #2 square drive holds the screw on a correctly sized bit for controlled, one-handed placement in tight cabinet interiors.
• Black finish blends with dark cabinet interiors and pocket-hole applications where head visibility matters.
• 1,000 screws per box keeps a hardwood-focused cabinet shop supplied through production runs.

The Right Screw for Hardwood Face Frames and Pocket-Hole Joints

Face frame construction in hardwood puts specific demands on a fastener. A coarse-thread screw in maple or oak can strip on the way in or split a stile under clamping pressure. This screw addresses both problems. The fine thread engages hardwood fiber gradually, building holding power without wedging the grain apart. The 1-1/4" length is sized for standard 3/4-inch face-frame stock joined with a pocket-hole jig, seating the washer head flush at the pocket face while the threads bite fully into the mating piece. The result is a tight, gap-free joint that holds through the seasonal movement hardwood frames go through on installed cabinetry.

Washer Head, Square Drive, and Type 17 Auger Point

Three design details work together on this screw. The washer head provides a wide, flat bearing surface that spans the pocket opening and clamps the joint without burying into the wood face. The #2 square drive is designed to hold the screw on a correctly sized bit, which matters when the pocket is angled, recessed, or hard to reach inside a cabinet carcass. The Type 17 Auger point features a longitudinal flute that clears chips at the tip, helping the screw start in hardwood with less torque and less risk of splitting near the end grain of a rail or stile. The black finish keeps the head low-profile in dark cabinet interiors where the pocket may be partially visible.

Where This Screw Works Best

Cabinet shops building face frames from hard maple, red oak, cherry, hickory, or walnut will get the most from this screw. It is sized and threaded for the most common scenario in those shops: joining 3/4-inch hardwood members at rail-to-stile pocket-hole joints, or attaching a completed hardwood face frame to a plywood or MDF cabinet box. The black finish also suits shops doing dark-interior cabinetry, media units, or furniture pieces where a silver or zinc screw head would stand out. For softwood face frames, pine boxes, or sheet-good construction, a coarse-thread variant in this family is the better match.
