This Würth #6 x 5/8-inch flat head hinge and drawer slide installation screw is sized for attaching European cup hinges, drawer slides, and similar cabinet hardware to panel faces where mounting depth is limited and a flush-seated head is required.
European cup hinges and undermount or side-mount drawer slides attach through mounting plates with pre-bored holes that put the fastener very close to the cabinet panel surface. A screw that is even slightly too long risks breaking through the finished face of the panel or the visible interior surface. At 5/8 inch, this screw drives through the hardware plate and into the panel with enough thread engagement to hold firmly while staying well clear of the opposite face on 3/4-inch stock. That makes it the right length for hinge baseplate mounting, drawer slide bracket attachment, and similar hardware that lands on the flat face of a cabinet side or back panel.
The #2 square drive holds the screw on a correctly sized bit for one-handed placement, which matters when you are reaching into a cabinet box to set a hinge plate or position a slide clip. The flat head countersinks into the hardware mounting hole so nothing sits proud of the plate surface. The Type 17 auger point cuts wood fibers rather than wedging them apart, which is an advantage when driving repeatedly into particleboard or MDF edges where splitting or crumbling would compromise the hold. Zinc plating protects the steel against the light moisture exposure of a finished indoor cabinet environment.
Production cabinet shops running European frameless or face-frame boxes go through hinge and drawer slide screws at a rate that makes per-job packaging inefficient. A 30,000-count box keeps the bin stocked through extended production runs without repeated reorders. Installers assembling pre-built cabinets on site benefit from the same count when hardware is being hung across a full kitchen or bath. The coarse thread performs across the range of panel materials common in cabinet construction, from plywood cabinet sides to melamine-faced particleboard, so one screw size covers most hardware mounting situations at this length.
Yes. This screw is designed for exactly that application. The #6 gauge matches the hole geometry in standard European hinge mounting plates, and the 5/8-inch length provides adequate thread engagement in the panel without over-penetrating 3/4-inch stock.
Most hinge plates and drawer slide mounting brackets have countersunk holes that accept a flat head. Using a flat head lets the screw seat flush with the plate surface so the hardware sits tight against the cabinet panel without a raised fastener head creating a gap.
A #2 square drive bit is required. The square recess is designed to hold the screw on a correctly sized bit for one-handed placement, but that retention depends on using a properly fitting #2 square bit.
Yes. The coarse thread and Type 17 auger point are well suited to particleboard, MDF, and melamine-faced panel materials common in cabinet construction.
The zinc finish provides standard indoor corrosion resistance and is appropriate for dry to moderately humid interior cabinet environments. It is not rated for exterior use or direct water exposure.
Specify the Würth #6 x 5/8-inch hinge and drawer slide installation screw when you need a flat head, square drive fastener that fits standard hardware mounting plates, stops short of the back face on 3/4-inch panels, and holds firmly in the engineered wood and plywood stock that makes up most cabinet carcasses.
