Wood Technology M5 1-3/8" - 1-3/4" Fine Thread Chrome, 1222.035.010 100 PAK - 100/Box

3/4-Inch Connecting Screw for Tight Cabinet and Furniture Joinery

The Wood Technology M5 connecting screw is a fine-thread, zinc-finished fastener designed for joining cabinet panels and furniture components where a 5 mm drill hole is already in place. At 3/4 inch, it is sized for stock in the 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch material thickness range, pulling joints tight without over-penetrating thinner panels.

Key Features

• Fine thread provides dense thread engagement in the receiving panel for reliable pull-out resistance in engineered wood substrates.
• Underhead nibs mill into the panel face as the screw seats, helping the head sit flush without a separate countersink step.
• 5 mm drill hole compatibility fits standard 5 mm line-bore patterns common in European-style frameless cabinetry.
• Zinc finish suits dry interior cabinet and furniture assembly environments.
• 3/4-inch length is matched to material thicknesses from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, keeping thread engagement where it needs to be without break-through risk.
• 100-piece box keeps a working supply on the bench for production assembly or multi-cabinet installs.

Where This Screw Fits in the Build

Connecting screws like this one are used where two panels meet at a butt joint and need to be drawn together securely. In cabinet carcass work, that typically means side-to-bottom, side-to-top, or side-to-shelf connections in frameless or European-style boxes built from particleboard, MDF, or melamine-faced panels. The 5 mm drill hole requirement means the installation point is already part of the layout if the shop runs a line-bore system. For custom or one-off builds, a 5 mm brad-point or step bit establishes the hole before the screw goes in. The 3/4-inch length is the working choice when the joined panels fall in the 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch combined thickness window — long enough to grip, short enough to stay clear of finished faces on the opposite side.

Finish and Material for Interior Use

These screws carry a zinc finish on steel, which is appropriate for dry indoor environments. Cabinet interiors, furniture carcasses, and built-ins in climate-controlled spaces are the right context. The product attributes list the finish as Chrome, though the product name and SAP description indicate zinc — the zinc designation is used here as the governing description for indoor cabinet assembly. These are not rated for exterior or high-humidity installations.

A Practical Choice for Cabinet Shops and Installers

Production cabinet shops using a 5 mm line-bore layout will find this screw drops directly into their existing workflow. The fine thread and nibs handle both holding and flush seating in a single drive step, which matters on a production run where separate countersinking adds time. For installers assembling RTA or flat-pack cabinets on site, the 100-piece pack provides enough coverage for a typical kitchen run without carrying excess inventory. Designers specifying joinery hardware for custom millwork will find the 3/4-inch length fits the engineered panel thicknesses most commonly used in frameless cabinet construction.

The Right Connecting Screw for the Panel Thickness You Are Working With

When the joint falls in the 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch material range and a 5 mm drill hole is already in the layout, this Wood Technology connecting screw drives in, seats flush, and holds — without extra steps or overshooting the panel.
