Hinge Screws.

What are Hinge Screws?

Hinge screws are specialised fasteners designed specifically for securing hinges to doors, cabinets, and other framings. These variants of wood screws are engineered with precision to ensure smooth and secure opening and closing of the hinge mechanism.

Our range features a Pozi drive type for efficient torque transfer and reduced slippage (camming out). Additionally, they're available in countersunk and raised countersunk head types, providing a flush or slightly raised finish when installed.

The thread design ensures a firm grip within the wood, preventing loosening over time, which is crucial for maintaining the functionality and safety of doors and other hinged structures.

How Hinge Screws Work

Hinge screws play a critical role in various applications, from residential doors to kitchen cabinets and even grand pianos.

For example, door hinge screws are essential in home installations, providing the strength needed to support the weight of a door while allowing smooth movement. Additionally, their use case as kitchen cabinet hinge screws offers the precision required for fine adjustments, ensuring that cabinet doors align perfectly and close quietly. Our range is even suitable for piano hinge screws, delivering durability and reliability under frequent use.

By choosing the correct type and size, our range of hinge screws can help you achieve a perfect fit, enhancing both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Materials Door Hinge Screws are Made From

Our range of precision hinge screws are crafted from high-quality Steel C1022, known for its excellent strength and durability. This carbon steel material is ideal for applications requiring high tensile strength, such as screws for door hinges, where structural integrity is paramount.

To cater to your various aesthetics and project needs, we offer screws for door hinges in various different finishes. Our chrome-plated variants provide a sleek, modern appearance and excellent resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for both interior and exterior applications. For a classic, elegant look, our brass-plated choice is often used in traditional or vintage-styled settings.

What Size and Type Hinge Screws are Available

Our hinge screws range from the smallest thread size of 4mm to the largest at 4.5mm, with lengths spanning from 25mm to 40mm. This variety ensures that we can cater to a wide range of projects, whether you're installing a small cabinet door or a heavy-duty entrance door.

The Pozi drive and choice between countersunk or raised countersunk heads provide flexibility for different installation requirements and aesthetic preferences.

For installation into other materials such as metal or plastics, explore our extensive range of self-tapping screws to find the perfect hinge fasteners for your next project, all with the quality and precision that Accu is known for.

FAQs

Q: Are hinge screws different from wood screws?

A: Yes, hinge screws are specifically designed to work with hinges, featuring particular thread designs and flush countersunk head types that ensure a secure attachment and allow for the hinge mechanism to close without obstruction.

Q: Can hinge screws be used with metal doors?

A: Our current range is primarily focused towards wooden doors and door frames. For metal doors, we'd recommend taking a look at our countersunk self-tapping screws.

Q: How do I choose the right length of hinge screw for my needs?

A: Choosing the correct length of hinge screw depends on the thickness of the hinge, type of material the hinge is being installed into as well as the weight of the hinged component. Generally, the screw should be long enough to penetrate through the thickness of the hinge leaf and at least half the thickness of the door or frame material. For example, a 25mm screw may be suitable for lighter applications, while a 40mm screw might be necessary for heavier doors.
