Black-Oxide Phillips Wood Screws

Short wood screws were part of fastening the drawer’s corner brackets and slides. The one-inch black-oxide Phillips screws were listed with the supplies for my storage-bin drawer project.

Why I Bought It

The drawer build used several screw lengths for different tasks. I used longer screws for the frame and shorter screws around the brackets, lining and slides.

The one-inch screws in my materials belonged to that smaller-hardware work. The corner close-ups show the fastening positions before the drawer received its rubber lining.

Keeping the Short Screws Tied to Their Drawer Tasks

  1. I attached the inside corner brackets with one-inch screws.
  2. I later attached the slides to the cabinet frame and drawer with one-inch screws.
  3. I used shorter screws and flat washers for the separate rubber-lining attachments.

My Takeaway from This Job

The drawer used several screw lengths across the frame, base, lining and slides. The close bracket photographs make the short-screw attachments visible before more of the drawer was lined and assembled.

I used different screw lengths for the frame, brackets, lining and slides.

Product Details And Van-Build Uses

SpecificationProduct Detail
DrivePhillips
HeadCountersunk
FinishBlack oxide

The countersunk head and Phillips drive are separate features from the screw length and thread. Keep those details together when selecting a fastener for woodwork or a hardware attachment. For a van cabinet panel, the material stack and finished face help define the intended head position. Recording the exact screw reference with that joint makes it easier to distinguish these pieces from broad truss-head screws or star-drive fasteners that may be stored nearby.

Does A Phillips Drive Describe The Head Shape?

No. The drive identifies the bit interface; the countersunk form describes how the head sits at the surface.

Alternative products

Two Alternatives to Compare

The SPAX option is another one-inch number-six flat-head screw, with a zinc-plated finish. The GRK cabinet screw changes to a larger washer-style head, star drive and one-and-a-quarter-inch length. Head shape, drive and length make these different choices for planning a wood attachment.

Questions from My Build

Where Did I Record Using One-Inch Screws?

At the inside corner brackets and the drawer-slide attachments.

Did the Whole Drawer Use the Same Screw Length?

The frame, base, lining and slides used different lengths in the diary sequence.
