Choosing screws

We used No. 8 “cabinet” screws throughout this project for three reasons:

■ The large “washer” heads design looks much neater than a bugle head countersunk into the melamine surface.

■ The washer heads won’t pull through the particleboard.

■ The coarse threads hold well in particleboard.

Cabinet screws are made by GRK, Spax and other manufacturers.
