This Würth #8 x 1-1/8 inch drawer front adjusting screw is built for attaching and aligning drawer fronts on cabinet boxes. The modified washer head, Phillips drive, coarse thread, and Type 17 auger point work together to hold the drawer front securely while leaving room for fine-tuning position before final tightening.
Drawer front adjusting screws thread through a drawer box face and into the back of a false front. The 1-1/8 inch length lands in the range that works through a standard plywood or solid-wood drawer box face — typically 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch thick — and seats into the false front without breaking through the face side. That balance of penetration and restraint is what makes a length-specific choice matter here: too short and the holding power is marginal; too long and the tip exits where it should not. The 1-1/8 inch screw is the fit for that common drawer box thickness in production cabinetry.
The modified washer head is the right choice for drawer front attachment because the elongated or oversized slot in the drawer box face is what allows lateral and vertical adjustment before the screw is locked down. A standard flat or pan head would not bear evenly across that slot. The washer profile bridges the slot opening and distributes clamping pressure across a wider footprint, which keeps the front from rocking or shifting while the installer aligns gaps. Once the position is set, the same head holds the front firmly in place. The Phillips drive means no specialized bits are required — any installer carrying a standard #2 tip can complete the job without reaching for extra tooling.
At 6,500 screws per box, this is a stocking quantity for cabinet shops running drawer fronts in volume. A single kitchen or bath run can use dozens of these screws, and having a full box on hand eliminates the friction of reordering mid-project. The zinc finish is appropriate for the dry, enclosed environment of a cabinet interior, where these screws spend their service life out of view and away from moisture. This is an indoor fastener for an indoor application.
The 1-1/8 inch length is well matched to drawer boxes built from 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch plywood or solid wood. It provides enough thread engagement in the false front while stopping short of breaking through the face surface.
The oversized slot in the drawer box face — the slot that allows adjustment — is wider than a standard screw head can bridge. The modified washer head spans that opening and distributes clamping load evenly so the front stays stable during positioning and holds firmly after tightening.
Not in most cases. The Type 17 auger point is designed to self-start in plywood, MDF, and solid wood without a pre-drilled pilot. The fluted tip clears material and reduces the torque needed to drive the screw.
Yes. Zinc provides the corrosion protection needed for dry indoor environments, which is the standard service condition for drawer front hardware. These screws are not rated for exterior or high-humidity applications.
Yes. Drawer front adjusting screws are designed to allow alignment during installation and then serve as the permanent fastener once the position is set and the screw is tightened fully.
When length, head style, and point geometry are all matched to the job, drawer front installation becomes a repeatable, low-friction step in the cabinet build. This Würth 1-1/8 inch adjusting screw is that match for standard production drawer box thicknesses — aligned, tightened, and done.
