Würth #6 x 5/8" Flat Head Hinge and Drawer Slide Installation Screw Phillips Drive - Type 17 Auger Point Coarse Thread Zinc, 3670000187961 1000 - 1000/Box

Phillips Hinge and Drawer Slide Screw Built for Shallow Panel Mounting

The Würth #6 x 5/8" flat head hinge and drawer slide installation screw is engineered for mounting European hinges, drawer slides, and cabinet hardware to panels where depth clearance is limited. At 5/8" long, this screw seats hardware securely in 3/4" cabinet panels without over-penetrating the back face.

Key Features

• 5/8" length keeps the screw within 3/4" panel stock, so the tip stays clear of the opposite face during hinge and slide installation.
• Type 17 auger point starts cleanly in plywood, particleboard, and MDF without requiring a pilot hole.
• #2 Phillips drive accepts the most common bit on the jobsite or in the shop.
• Coarse thread for engineered wood grips particleboard, melamine, and plywood panels where hinges and drawer slides mount.
• Flat head profile seats flush against hinge plates and slide mounting brackets.
• Zinc finish provides standard indoor corrosion resistance for cabinet interior applications.

Where This Screw Fits the Job

European cup hinges and side-mount drawer slides are designed around a short screw that enters through a hardware mounting plate and grips the panel without breaking through. The 5/8" length matches that geometry exactly. When you are mounting hinge base plates to a 3/4" face frame or side panel, or attaching drawer slide brackets to a cabinet interior, this screw gives the thread the engagement it needs while keeping the tip well within the panel. It also works for smaller hardware anchoring tasks inside the cabinet box, including clip-on hinge plate attachment and light-duty bracket fastening where a longer screw would risk show-through or splitting at the edge.

Thread, Point, and Finish Details

The coarse thread is the right choice for the engineered wood panels that make up most cabinet interiors. Particleboard, MDF, and plywood all respond well to coarse thread, which develops strong pull-out resistance in the low-density fiber matrix those panels present. The Type 17 auger point uses a longitudinal flute near the tip to clear material as the screw starts, reducing the torque needed to drive the first threads and lowering the risk of splitting near thin panel edges. The zinc finish suits the dry, climate-controlled environment inside a finished cabinet.

Who Orders This Screw and Why

Cabinet shops running European hinge and undermount or side-mount slide installations go through short mounting screws in large numbers. A box of 1000 supports a production run without constant restocking. Finish carpenters and installers who set cabinets on site carry this size to seat hinge plates cleanly when panels are already in place and clearance at the back is tight. Homeowners doing a hardware swap or replacing worn slides find the 1000-count box practical for a full kitchen's worth of hardware. The flat head and Phillips drive mean no specialty bit is needed.

Common Questions

The Right Screw in the Right Place

A short, correctly threaded mounting screw is easy to overlook until a hinge plate sits proud or a drawer slide bracket strips out. The Würth #6 x 5/8" flat head installation screw is sized and threaded to match the panels and hardware it goes into, so the hardware stays where you put it.
