This Würth #8 x 1" Drawer Front Adjusting Screw is built for attaching and aligning drawer fronts in kitchen, bath, and furniture cabinetry. The modified washer head, Phillips drive, Type 17 Auger point, and coarse thread work together to give installers a repeatable fastener for getting drawer fronts set and locked in position.
At 1 inch, this screw is sized for drawer fronts mounted to standard drawer box material. The length seats fully into the drawer box face without over-penetrating thinner plywood or MDF sides, making it a practical first choice when the combined stock thickness at the mounting point is 3/4 inch or less. Shops that run a mix of drawer box constructions often keep the 1-inch length on hand specifically for false-front attachment to thinner box walls, where a longer screw would push through or require careful depth control. The Type 17 Auger point starts without wandering on flat, finished panel faces, which helps when the screw goes in through a pre-drilled elongated slot in the drawer box front.
The modified washer head is what makes this a drawer front adjusting screw rather than a standard installation screw. The wide, flat bearing surface bears against the drawer box face while the screw shank rides in an elongated slot, leaving room to shift the drawer front up, down, or side to side before final tightening. Once the gap is dialed in evenly around all four sides of the drawer front, the Phillips drive locks it down. The zinc-plated steel construction holds up in the controlled environment of a finished cabinet interior without adding unnecessary cost to a high-volume consumable.
This screw is a natural fit for cabinet shops that install their own fronts and for finish carpenters who align drawer faces on site. Any job where multiple drawer fronts need to land with consistent gaps — kitchen base runs, bathroom vanities, furniture with bank drawers — benefits from a screw designed specifically for this step rather than a repurposed construction or assembly screw. Packing 1,000 to the box means a single order carries a full project through without restocking mid-install.
A standard wood screw threads directly into material and clamps immediately, leaving no room to reposition. The drawer front adjusting screw is designed to ride in an elongated slot so the front can be shifted precisely before the screw is fully seated. That adjustment window is what produces even gaps around every drawer in a run.
For most 3/4-inch drawer box stock, 1 inch provides enough thread engagement to hold the front securely without the point exiting the back face of the box panel. If the box material is thicker or layered, a longer variant in this family may be worth considering.
Yes. The coarse thread and Type 17 Auger point are suited to engineered panel materials including MDF and particleboard. The coarse thread pitch grips the fiber matrix of those substrates effectively once the screw is tightened to final position.
A #2 Phillips bit is the correct size for this screw. That is the most common Phillips size in cabinet installation, so most installers will already have it loaded.
The zinc finish is suited to dry interior cabinet applications. It is not intended for exterior exposure or consistently high-humidity environments such as outdoor kitchens or marine cabinetry.
When drawer front alignment needs to be fast, repeatable, and forgiving of minor placement variation, this Würth #8 x 1" Drawer Front Adjusting Screw delivers the right head geometry, point, and length to get each front set correctly and hold it there.
