Hinge Screw Source

[FourthQuarter]

Ugh. I'm having trouble finding online source of hinge screws in decent quantity, ~200. Looking for #9 slotted plain or painted black. I'll settle for Phillips if I have to.

Thanks

what is this for, a standard house door hinge? I've used construction screws like a 3" spax to replace screws for exterior door hinges to get a solid connection into the studs.

I use drywall screws for hinges a lot of times .they fit well and they are black to boot!
I know they're a bit hard & brittle , but they work well

Might talk to a door shop, they will be Phillips though.

The standard wood hinge screws we sell are #12 x 1 1/4”. Check Hager #L1 (Black) finish = 1-810-7232

I want to put a few long screws on the top hinges. Doors are particleboard core so they're heavy. The jambs are poplar (honorary wood).

Interior Emtek, residential grade, plain bearing. I would never use them again; they shipped with prehung doors. Bean counters must have told manufacturing to cut costs. The countersinks aren't deep enough to keep screws from sitting proud of the hinge.

So glad to be in the fourth quarter. Disgusts me that few take pride in anything they do... all about the benjamins.

I've done the same on exterior doors.

You lost me there..

I've always bought longer screws for hinges, never knew they were anything special. Brass can be chemically treated to make them black though it may not be the finish you are wanting.

You're right, they're not special. It's the sizes that much door hardware uses, e.g. #9.

I steer away from poplar for anything that I care about or want to last. It's easy to work with, light weight, takes paint well but bruises too easily and isn't very strong. Also, with short fibers/grain seems like fasteners tend to loosen when subject to loading/unloading cycles.

Slotted?

What year is it?

IMHO it's an upgrade compared to most jambs. 1" poplar jambs are fantastic. Never noticed any issues with screw holding.

Slotted fasteners look better than the other options, if you use 5/8 hinges that doesn't apply. Sort of like using mortise locks..

I used the decking screws that yellow or green one T-25 bit from HD… it seems to work well, and it’s anti temping some what.

If the countersink isn't deep enough for a better screw, make it deeper.

I might do that. Black painted hinges but sharpie probably cover fine.

Thanks. Had boxes of 100 of #9 Phillips but not slotted. Heads on screws that came with hinges seemed large for #9. I might be getting #10 slotted.
