The Würth #6 x 1/2" pan head hinge and drawer slide installation screw is engineered for mounting European cup hinges, drawer slides, and other cabinet hardware to cabinet panels without over-penetrating thin stock. The 1/2" length keeps the tip well clear of the panel face on standard 3/4" cabinet sides and doors, making it the right choice wherever a longer screw would risk breakthrough.
In cabinet installation, the hinge cup and drawer slide mounting holes are pre-bored close to the panel surface. A screw that is even slightly too long risks punching through the opposite face and damaging a finished surface or a laminate panel. At 1/2", this screw engages enough thread in the panel to hold hardware securely while keeping the tip well inside the material. It is the standard working length for attaching European hinge mounting plates and clip-on hinge bases to 3/4" cabinet sides, and it handles the same job on drawer slide end brackets and mounting clips. Shops building face-frame and frameless cabinetry will reach for this length routinely when mounting hardware close to an exposed finished surface.
The pan head seats flush against the flat mounting flanges of European hinges and drawer slide hardware without a countersink. That flat bearing surface spreads the clamping force across the plate rather than concentrating it at a single point, which helps prevent the plate from rocking or loosening over time. Phillips drive keeps things simple on a busy installation: most cabinet installers already run a #2 Phillips bit, and this screw does not ask for a change. The zinc finish is matched to the dry, protected environment inside a finished cabinet, where standard indoor corrosion resistance is all that is needed.
This screw ships 1,000 to the box, which fits the rhythm of a cabinet shop or an installer finishing a full kitchen or bath run. European hinges typically take two screws per plate and two plates per hinge, so a full set of 36-inch upper cabinets can move through a box quickly. Having the correct length on hand, dedicated to hardware mounting, avoids the guesswork of sorting through a mixed bin when the goal is to keep assembly moving. The Type 17 auger point helps the screw start without a pilot hole in most cabinet panel materials, which also saves time when driving hundreds of screws in a session.
Yes. The 1/2" length and pan head are well suited for fastening drawer slide end brackets and mounting clips to 3/4" cabinet sides, where the short length keeps the tip clear of the panel's outer face.
No. Pan head screws are designed to bear flat against the surface of the mounting plate. European hinge baseplates and drawer slide mounting holes are made for pan or washer head screws, so no countersink is needed.
The Type 17 auger point allows the screw to self-start in plywood, particleboard, MDF, and most solid wood cabinet panels without a pilot hole. Very dense hardwood may benefit from a pilot, but for standard cabinet panel materials it is not required.
Yes, provided the hinge baseplate or clip is designed for face-frame installation and the 1/2" length is appropriate for the stock thickness. The pan head and coarse thread suit face-frame panel materials including solid wood and plywood.
Coarse thread develops strong pull-out resistance in the fibrous and engineered-wood materials used for cabinet panels, including particleboard, MDF, and plywood. Fine thread is better suited to metal and hard solid hardwood; coarse thread is the right choice for the substrates where hinges and drawer slides are typically mounted.
When the job is mounting hinges and drawer slides to finished cabinet panels, the 1/2" length does exactly what a longer screw cannot: it holds hardware firmly without the risk of breakthrough, so the back face of the panel stays clean and the installation stays professional.
