The Würth #7 x 5/8" hinge and drawer slide installation screw is sized for mounting European cup hinges, face-frame hinges, and drawer slides where panel thickness or hardware geometry calls for a short fastener. A #2 Phillips flat head with coarse thread and a sharp point keeps the drive simple and the installation clean in standard cabinet work.
Most hinge and drawer slide mounting plates are designed to accept a screw in the 5/8" to 3/4" range. The 5/8" length is the right call when panel stock is on the thinner side, when a mounting plate sits in a shallow recess, or when the hardware backing puts the screw tip uncomfortably close to a finished face. Frameless cabinet boxes built from 1/2" or 5/8" sheet goods, overlay hinge plates with a short pilot depth, and undermount slide brackets near the bottom of a thin drawer box are all situations where a longer screw creates more risk than it solves. This screw threads in, seats the head flush against the plate, and stops where it should.
The screw is zinc-plated carbon steel. Inside a painted or melamine cabinet box, that finish handles the dry, stable environment without issue. The flat head seats cleanly against the hardware plate; the coarse thread engages plywood, MDF, and particleboard efficiently without requiring a pilot hole in most cases. This is an indoor fastener — the zinc plating is not rated for exterior or high-humidity environments.
Cabinet installers working through a full kitchen keep a box of these on the cart alongside their hinge driver bit. Shop crews building frameless boxes with thinner carcass panels reach for the 5/8" over a longer option whenever breakthrough is a concern. Renovation contractors retrofitting new hardware into existing cabinets also find this length useful when the original hinge cups are in place and the panel thickness is already fixed. At 1000 per box, it covers the hinge and slide hardware on a substantial job without counting screws.
When panel thickness is 1/2" to 5/8", or when a mounting plate sits in a shallow recess close to the back face, a longer screw can punch through. The 5/8" length provides full thread engagement in the plate without that risk.
The sharp point self-starts in plywood, MDF, and particleboard in most cases. In harder materials or very close to a panel edge, a small pilot hole reduces the chance of splitting.
Yes. The drive is a standard #2 Phillips recess, compatible with the Phillips bits found in any installer's kit.
The #7 gauge and flat head are sized to seat in the pre-bored holes on most European hinge mounting plates. Check your specific hardware manufacturer's specification to confirm the recommended screw gauge and length for their plates.
No. The zinc finish is suited to dry indoor environments. For outdoor or high-humidity applications, choose a fastener with a corrosion-resistant coating rated for that exposure.
When the panel is thin and the hardware plate is shallow, the 5/8" Würth hinge and drawer slide installation screw gives installers and shop crews a clean, reliable mount without the guesswork of whether a longer screw will clear the back face.
