Atlantic Hardware M6-1-3/16 - 1-9/16" - Fine Thread Nickel, 555NP-31 - 500/Box

Connecting Screw For Panel-to-Panel Cabinet Assembly

The Atlantic Hardware 555NP-31 is an M6 fine-thread connecting screw in a Nickel finish, designed to join panels in cabinet and furniture assembly applications where material thickness runs between 1-3/16 and 1-9/16 inches. Each box contains 500 screws.

Key Features

• M6 fine thread provides clean, precise thread engagement suited to the close tolerances of engineered panel joinery.
• Nickel finish gives the screw head a polished, coordinated appearance in cabinet interiors where hardware is visible.
• Nibs under the head help the screw seat flush and resist rotation once driven, improving the finished look at the joint.
• 8 mm drill hole diameter matches the standard bore used in European-style cabinet and furniture assembly.
• Sized for 1-3/16 to 1-9/16 inch material thickness so the screw pulls panels tight without bottoming out or leaving the head proud.
• 500 per box keeps production runs moving without constant restocking interruptions.

Where This Screw Fits in Cabinet and Furniture Work

Connecting screws like the 555NP-31 are used to draw two panels together in a butt or face joint, pulling them tight and holding them in alignment. The 8 mm drill hole matches the bore produced by a standard step drill or confirmat bit used in European-style cabinetry and flat-pack furniture construction. The fine M6 thread engages precisely in the pre-bored hole, making this screw a natural fit for particleboard, MDF, and melamine-faced panels in the 1-3/16 to 1-9/16 inch thickness range. Because the head is visible at the joint face in many installations, the Nickel finish keeps the fastener from looking out of place in lighter-finished cabinet interiors.

Finish, Material, and Head Design

The Nickel finish is a practical choice wherever the screw head will be seen. Cabinet interiors with white or light-toned melamine, frameless boxes with exposed panel edges, and furniture pieces with visible hardware all benefit from a screw head that coordinates rather than contrasts. The nibs on the underside of the head do two things: they help the head mill cleanly into the panel surface as the screw seats, and they resist back-rotation once the joint is tightened. That combination means a cleaner countersink and a more stable connection without additional steps.

Who This Screw Is Built For

Cabinet shops running European-style frameless construction will use this screw daily for carcass assembly, joining cabinet sides to tops, bottoms, and fixed shelves. Furniture manufacturers assembling flat-pack or RTA pieces in particleboard or MDF will find the 8 mm bore compatibility and fine thread a reliable match for their existing tooling. Finish carpenters and installers handling pre-built cabinet components on the job site also benefit from the 500-count box when a run of installs requires consistent, repeatable connections across multiple boxes.
