Value Collection WSFI0-500500-100BX Flat Head Wood Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WSFI0-500500-100BX is a No. 5 flat head wood screw with a slotted drive, measuring 1/2 inch in overall length. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plated finish, this screw is built for general fastening applications in wood where a flush or countersunk head is required. The zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance suited for interior use. This package contains 100 screws, making it a practical choice for production work, repair tasks, or high-volume cabinet and millwork jobs handled by carpenters, woodworkers, and general contractors.

This screw is appropriate for light-duty wood fastening in residential and commercial interior applications. Typical uses include securing trim, cabinetry, wood frames, and similar joinery where a flat head profile is needed to sit flush with or below the work surface. The slotted drive accommodates standard flat-blade screwdrivers and compatible bits. These screws are suited for hand driving or low-speed power driving into pre-drilled pilot holes to prevent splitting in hardwood or thinner stock.

Installation Notes

Drilling a pilot hole before driving is recommended, particularly in hardwoods or near edges, to prevent splitting. Use a flat-blade screwdriver or matching slotted bit at low torque to avoid cam-out or head damage. Zinc plated fasteners are intended for dry interior environments and should not be used in direct contact with pressure-treated lumber or in exterior wet conditions without an appropriate finish upgrade.
