Hafele Screws - 3.5 x 17mm - Silver

A standard Phillips head screwdriver is recommended for these screws.

These screws are specifically sized for 3.5 x 17mm applications, commonly found with Hafele, Blum, and other European-style cabinet hinges. They may not be suitable for all hinge types.

The nickel finish is a surface treatment that provides durability, corrosion resistance, and a clean, silver aesthetic.

Each pack contains 100 screws.

While the nickel finish offers some corrosion resistance, these screws are primarily intended for indoor cabinetry. For outdoor applications, weather-resistant or stainless steel screws are generally recommended.

Metric sizes, like 3.5 x 17mm, are based on the metric system (millimeters), while imperial sizes use units like inches. Using the correct sizing is crucial for a proper fit.

Wipe them gently with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, but ensure they are dried thoroughly afterwards to prevent water spots or corrosion.

Ensure you are using a correctly sized Phillips head screwdriver. Apply firm downward pressure while turning slowly. If the head is already damaged, consider using a screw extractor or carefully drilling it out.

Verify that the pre-drilled hole size is appropriate for a 3.5mm screw. If the hole is too large (e.g., in soft particle board), you may need to use a slightly larger screw or fill the hole with wood glue and toothpicks before re-drilling.

Check that all hinge screws (both on the door cup and the mounting plate) are fully tightened. Ensure the screws are the correct length and diameter for the specific hinge and cabinet material.
