Brass Slotted Woodscrews

In applications where appearance matters as much as function, a brass slotted woodscrew does what a zinc-plated pozi head cannot: it finishes a job with a detail that looks right. At the DIY Hardware Store, our brass slotted woodscrews are the traditional fastener of choice for fitting quality brass door furniture, cabinet hardware, box hinges, and any decorative joinery where a slotted brass head is part of the visible finish.

Brass woodscrews are softer than steel, which means they form their own thread in timber cleanly on the way in - but also means they need a slightly more careful hand than a hardened steel screw. Pre-drilling with an appropriate pilot and clearance hole is always recommended, particularly in hardwoods, to avoid snapping the screw on the drive. A screwdriver that fits the slot precisely rather than a power driver is the right tool for the final seating.

The slotted drive head is the historical standard for quality cabinet and joinery work and remains the correct choice when fitting traditional or period-style hardware where a Pozi or Phillips head would look anachronistic. Available in the most commonly used sizes for furniture and door furniture applications at the DIY Hardware Store.
