Würth #6 x 5/8" Flat Head Hinge and Drawer Slide Installation Screw Phillips Drive - Type 17 Auger Point Coarse Thread Zinc, 3670000187961 5000 - 5000/Box

Würth Hinge and Drawer Slide Installation Screw For Shallow-Panel Mounting

This Würth #6 x 5/8-inch flat head hinge and drawer slide installation screw is built for mounting cup hinges, drawer slides, and cabinet hardware to thin panels where a longer screw would risk blowthrough. The short 5/8-inch length targets hardware mounting in standard cabinet panel stock without over-penetrating the substrate.

Key Features

• 5/8-inch length sized for hardware mounting in thin or standard-thickness cabinet panels where penetration depth must stay controlled.
• Flat head with #2 Phillips drive seats flush in hardware mounting plates and is driven by the most common bit in any cabinet shop or installer's kit.
• Type 17 auger point starts cleanly into the panel face and reduces torque needed to drive through wood fiber, helping protect thin stock near the fastening point.
• Coarse thread grips plywood, particleboard, MDF, and solid wood cabinet panels for reliable pull-out resistance in hardware mounting applications.
• Zinc finish provides standard corrosion protection suited to the dry interior environment of a cabinet carcass.
• 5,000 per box keeps a high-volume production shop or busy installer stocked through extended runs without constant reordering.

The Right Screw for Thin-Panel Hardware Mounting

Cup hinges, drawer slides, and mounting plates all share a common challenge: the screws that hold them must seat fully in the hardware hole, grip the panel firmly, and stop short of breaking through the opposite face. At 5/8 inch, this screw is matched to that constraint. It drives through a hinge mounting plate or drawer slide bracket and bites into the panel without the tip traveling far enough to exit through a finished interior surface. That makes it a natural fit for 3/4-inch cabinet panels where an inch-long screw would leave little margin, and for thinner backs or panels where even less penetration is acceptable.

Phillips Flat Head and Type 17 Point in Practice

The flat head sits flush in the countersunk holes of standard hinge mounting plates and drawer slide brackets, so the hardware seats cleanly against the panel face without a raised fastener head creating a gap. A #2 Phillips bit drives it, which is the bit already in most cordless drills and cabinet installation drivers. The Type 17 auger point adds a fluted cutting edge that clears wood fibers ahead of the thread, reducing the force needed to start and seat the screw. In particleboard and MDF, that translates to less material disturbance around the mounting hole, which matters when hardware is positioned close to a panel edge.

Built for Production Volume in Cabinet Shops and On-Site Installs

A box of 5,000 supports the throughput of a working cabinet shop running face-frame or frameless production, as well as installers handling multi-cabinet jobs where hinge and drawer slide screws are consumed in volume. The coarse thread and zinc finish are matched to the interior wood-panel environment, and the consistent point geometry means the screw drives predictably at the same depth setting across every cabinet in a run. Shops that standardize on a single hinge screw for their 3/4-inch panel work will find the 5/8-inch length occupies the shortest practical slot in that lineup, useful wherever a slightly longer screw is too much.

Common Questions

A Short-Length Standard That Keeps Hardware Flush and Panels Intact

When the job calls for a hinge or drawer slide screw that mounts clean, seats flush, and stops well short of the panel face, the Würth #6 x 5/8-inch flat head installation screw is the size to reach for first.
