Pozi countersunk hinge woodscrews are the specific format of woodscrew sized and profiled for fitting door and cabinet hinges - the correct thread length, shank diameter, and head profile to engage fully in a hinge countersink, pull flush without cracking the hinge leaf, and hold the hinge firmly in the timber without stripping the fixing hole. At the DIY Hardware Store, our hinge woodscrews are available as singles in the thread sizes used across the standard range of UK door and cabinet hinges.
The difference between a hinge screw and a general woodscrew matters in practice: a screw that's too long pushes through the door or frame; one that's too short doesn't develop adequate thread engagement; one with the wrong head profile sits proud of the hinge leaf countersink and prevents the hinge from sitting flat. Hinge screws are matched to the countersink angle and depth of standard hinge leaves, pulling flush and sitting correctly without adjustment.
Available in zinc-plated and electro-brassed finishes at the DIY Hardware Store, in the No.7, No.8, and No.10 thread sizes most commonly used across UK door butt hinges and cabinet cup hinges.
