Wurth #6 x 1/2 flat head screw is a hinge and drawer slide installation screw designed for cabinet and woodworking jobs where short, secure fasteners are needed. The case hardened construction gives the screw a tough exterior, which supports dependable holding when fastening hinges or drawer slides into wood components. The #2 square drive interface works with common square drive bits, helping the bit stay engaged during driving. The flat head profile sits down into a matching countersunk hinge or slide hole, so the hardware surface stays flush for proper operation. The coarse thread pattern is suited to biting into typical woodworking substrates, which helps the screw grab quickly during installation. The Type 17 auger point is designed to start into wood effectively, which can reduce walking at the start of the drive.
This hinge and drawer slide installation screw uses a #2 square drive, so it works with commonly used square drive bits on cabinet assembly tools. The Type 17 auger point is designed to enter wood efficiently, which helps the screw create its path into cabinet components during hinge or slide mounting. The coarse thread works with that point by pulling the screw into the wood with fewer turns, which is useful when repeating the same installation pattern on multiple doors or drawers. The flat head design allows the screw to seat into countersunk hinge and slide holes, which keeps hardware aligned against the wood. The case hardened structure helps the head and drive recess handle driven torque during fastening.
The web description identifies this part as a hinge and drawer slide installation screw, which positions it for cabinet doors and drawer box hardware mounting tasks. The #6 screw size and 1/2 inch length are suited to fastening compatible hinge leaves or slide brackets to cabinet frames or drawer boxes where a short penetration depth is appropriate. The flat head style is intended for countersunk hardware holes commonly found on hinge and slide mounting flanges, so the screw sits down into the hardware without leaving a raised head that might interfere with movement. The nickel finish offers a specific surface appearance, which can visually coordinate with hinge and drawer slide components that use nickel-toned finishes.
This screw is described as case hardened, which creates a hard wearing outer surface that supports the drive recess and head against the forces of powered drivers in repeated installation work. That matters when running many screws into cabinet assemblies, because it supports consistent driving without damaging the recess. The coarse thread specification works with wood-based cabinet materials by taking deeper bites per turn, which helps the screw secure hinges and slides firmly with fewer rotations. The Type 17 auger point on the screw is intended to enter wood efficiently by cutting into the material as it advances, which supports smoother starting and reduces the tendency of the point to wander as driving begins. Combined with the #2 square drive interface, these features allow the torque from square drive bits to be transferred into the screw consistently, supporting repeatable fastener performance across door and drawer installations.
The screw is a #6 x 1/2 inch flat head design, which suits countersunk hinge and drawer slide holes where a short screw is needed for secure mounting.
The screw uses a #2 square drive, so it engages with standard #2 square drive bits to help maintain positive torque transfer during fastening.
The Type 17 auger point is designed to start into wood effectively, which helps the screw cut its own entry path and supports smoother driving into cabinet parts.
The case hardened construction provides a tough outer surface, helping the head and drive recess withstand driving forces during repeated hinge and drawer slide installations.
The screw has a coarse thread, which is suited to general woodworking applications and helps pull hinges and slides tightly against cabinet components.
The screw uses a nickel finish, giving it the stated surface treatment that can visually coordinate with nickel-colored hinge and drawer slide hardware.
This Wurth #6 x 1/2 inch flat head hinge and drawer slide installation screw combines a #2 square drive, coarse thread, and Type 17 auger point to support efficient cabinet hardware mounting. The case hardened construction and nickel finish provide the specified structure and surface treatment for repeated use in woodworking environments. For projects centered on fastening compatible hinges and drawer slides into wood-based cabinet components, this Wurth 13593 screw offers the defined size, drive style, and point design described in the product data.
