Atlantic Hardware M6-1-7/16 - 1-7/8" - Fine Thread Nickel, 555NP-37 - 500/Box

Nickel Connecting Screw For Cabinet and Panel Assembly

The Atlantic Hardware 555NP-37 is an M6 fine-thread connecting screw in a Nickel finish, designed for joining cabinet carcass panels, furniture components, and flat-pack assemblies where combined material thickness falls between 1-7/16 and 1-7/8 inches. Each box contains 500 screws.

Key Features

• Nickel finish blends with light-colored cabinet interiors and hardware-forward applications where head visibility matters.
• Fine thread provides tight, secure engagement in the dense fiber matrix of particleboard, MDF, and melamine-faced panels.
• Material thickness range of 1-7/16 to 1-7/8 inches covers standard double-panel cabinet joints and typical carcass-side-to-shelf connections.
• Underhead nibs help the head seat cleanly and resist rotation once driven, producing a consistent flush finish at the joint face.
• 8 mm drill hole diameter matches the step-drill or confirmat bit standard used throughout 32 mm system cabinetry.
• 500 screws per box keeps production lines and installers stocked for extended runs without mid-job reorders.

Where This Screw Fits in Cabinet and Panel Work

Connecting screws are the workhorses of cabinet carcass assembly. They pull butt joints tight in particleboard and MDF panels, holding shelves to cabinet sides, fixing bottom panels to uprights, and securing back-panel frames in kitchen and bath cabinetry. The 555NP-37 is sized for combined stock in the 1-7/16 to 1-7/8 inch range, which covers the most common double-panel joint in 3/4-inch and 18 mm sheet goods. Installation requires a pre-bored step hole at 8 mm diameter — a standard confirmat bit handles this in a single pass. The fine thread engages the engineered wood cleanly, and the nibs under the head lock it in place as it seats, reducing the risk of the head spinning loose over time.

Nickel Finish in Visible and Mixed-Hardware Environments

Most connecting screws live inside a closed cabinet where finish is irrelevant. The Nickel finish on the 555NP-37 is the right call when the screw head will remain visible after assembly — open shelving units, display cabinets, frameless carcasses without cover caps, or situations where the installer prefers hardware that coordinates with Nickel pulls, hinges, and shelf pins already specified for the project. Nickel reads as a cool, polished metallic tone that pairs cleanly with white, gray, and light wood interiors without drawing attention.

Who Orders This Screw and When

Cabinet shops running 32 mm system production reach for connecting screws by the box. The 500-count pack suits a shop building a full kitchen run or a millwork team outfitting a commercial casework project, where burning through a smaller quantity mid-assembly creates unnecessary downtime. Designers specifying open or semi-open cabinetry benefit from the Nickel finish option when hardware continuity across the visible interior is part of the design intent. Installers finishing a job on site appreciate having surplus — leftover connecting screws store cleanly and carry over to the next project.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Right Connecting Screw for Hardware-Conscious Cabinet Work

When the screw head is part of what the customer sees, finish selection matters as much as thread and size. The 555NP-37 delivers reliable panel-to-panel joining performance in a Nickel finish that holds its own alongside coordinated hardware in visible cabinet interiors.
