Hinge Screws

Hinge Screws

When fitting doors, cabinets or gates, using the correct fixings makes all the difference. Our range of hinge screws is designed for the trade, providing reliable fixing, clean alignment and long-lasting performance where movement and load are involved.

Hinge screws are specifically made to secure hinges to timber, composite or metal substrates, ensuring a strong hold while allowing smooth operation over time. Unlike general-purpose screws, hinge screws are designed to sit neatly in hinge countersinks, helping prevent misalignment, wear or loosening caused by repeated opening and closing.

Commonly used by carpenters, joiners and installers, hinge screws are ideal for internal and external doors, cupboards, cabinets, gates and furniture. Available in a range of sizes, finishes and head types, they allow you to match the screw to both the hinge and the application, whether that’s a decorative internal door or a heavy-duty external fitting.

Our trade-focused selection includes options suitable for different environments, including corrosion-resistant finishes for damp or outdoor use. Choosing the right hinge screw helps ensure doors hang correctly, move smoothly and stay secure over time, reducing the risk of callbacks or adjustments after installation.

For jobs where precision and reliability matter, hinge screws are a small but essential component. Keep your van or workshop stocked with the right sizes and finishes to handle every hinge installation with confidence.
