Solid brass oval head screws this small (#3 x 1/2 inch) are a rarity today. Ideal for keyhole covers, label holders and cabinet locks, these premium fasteners feature deep slots, crisp threads and sharp end points. Offered in an array of period-authentic finishes, this hard-to-find size is indispensable for woodworkers and restoration contractors alike.
Dimensions: #3 x 1/2". Pre-drilling required. For oval head screws, the length is measured from the widest part of the head to the tip. Lengths are approximate.
Wood screws are used for joining pieces of wood and attaching hardware to wood. To prevent splitting, always drill a pilot hole in the wood slightly smaller than the screw diameter before installing. Learn about hardware >
