FAQs
What material are these screws made of?

What is the screw thread size?
The screw is an M4 size, indicating a metric thread diameter.

Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?

Troubleshooting
Screw does not thread into hardware.
Ensure you are using the correct M4 screw with compatible From the Anvil hardware. Check that the hardware's internal thread is clean and undamaged. Verify the screw is aligned straight before attempting to thread.
Screw is too long/short for the application.
This screw is 2.5 cm. If it's too long, it may protrude or damage internal cabinet contents. If too short, it won't securely engage with the hardware. Consider alternative screw lengths if your material thickness varies significantly, although this model is optimized for standard cabinets.
Black finish is scratched or damaged.
Minor scratches may be difficult to repair without specialized coatings. For further issues, consider replacement. Use caution during installation to avoid scratching.
Screw head strips during tightening.
Use the correct type and size of screwdriver. Apply firm, steady pressure. If the head has already stripped, specialized screw extraction tools may be required.
