Screws by application

The same catalogue, grouped by the job instead of by the specification. Each group says exactly what puts a screw in it, so you can disagree with us.

Face frame

Joining a face frame, where the head has to finish flush so it can be filled and painted.

What is in this group: Flush heads — flat, or flat with nibs — between 1 and 2 inches.

Cabinet to cabinet

Drawing two boxes together in a run, through both carcase walls.

What is in this group: Heads that sit proud and spread the clamping load, between 1 and 2 inches.

Cabinet to wall

Hanging a cabinet off studs or blocking, where the screw carries the weight of the box and everything in it.

What is in this group: Two and a half inches and longer, with a head that will not pull through the hanging rail.

Drawer slides

Mounting slide hardware to a cabinet side or a drawer box.

What is in this group: Under an inch, so the point cannot break through the far face.

Euro hinge plates

Fixing the mounting plate of a concealed hinge.

What is in this group: Under an inch, with a head that seats into the plate rather than on top of it.

Pulls & knobs

Mounting decorative hardware through a door or drawer front.

What is in this group: Machine-thread screws — these take a nut or a threaded insert, not wood.

Hinge cups

Fixing the cup body of a concealed hinge into the door.

What is in this group: Under an inch, with the widest bearing surface we stock, so the fixing does not pull into the door.

These groupings are our judgement, not a property of the product. If your shop does it differently, the Screw Finder will get you to the exact specification faster than we can guess at it.
