What sets these screws apart
-
18-8 stainless steel construction delivers excellent corrosion resistance for interior environments, helping fasteners look and perform well over time.
-
No. 8 gauge, 3 in. length with a flat head that sits flush into surfaces for a neat, professional appearance.
-
Phillips drive provides broad compatibility with common screwdrivers and power drivers, promoting quick, consistent installation.
-
Self-tapping capability means these screws cut their own threads as you tighten, reducing the need for pre-threading when fastening into metal and other suitable substrates.
-
Coarse threads offer strong bite and holding power across metal, wood, fiberglass, and some plastics, making them versatile for a range of projects.
-
Sharp point helps initiate entry with minimal guiding effort, improving accuracy during installation.
-
Indoor use only — ideal for repairing, mounting, and assembling components within cabinets, appliances, fixtures, and other interior applications.
-
50 pieces per box keeps your project stocked and ready, reducing trips to the hardware store.
Ideal use cases
- Attaching metal panels, brackets, or trim to wood framing in cabinetry or appliance installations.
- Securing fiberglass or plastic components where a flush head is desired for a clean finish.
- Repairs or quick assemblies in interior projects where stainless steel finish resists dulling and tarnish over time.
- Mounting metal hardware or fixtures to wood or composite substrates in kitchens, workshops, or storage areas.
Practical guidance for best results
- Use an appropriate pilot hole for the substrate to prevent splitting in wood or cracking in plastics, and to maximize bite in metal.
- Lubricate the screw shank or apply light torque with a power driver to prevent stripping, especially when driving into harder metals.
- Center the pilot and start slowly to ensure the flat head sits evenly for a seamless finish.
- Pair with compatible Hillman fasteners and accessories to maintain a cohesive, professional look across your interior projects.
