Hi All,
We have a kitchen carcass which has a number of short fat screws For securing the drawer runners (a little over a 1/4 ?square? from memory (it?s a while since I?ve seen one).
I could do with half a dozen more.
Does anyone have a bag and could spare six? Or does anyone know what search terms I need to find some in the bay of the flea?
TIA
Chris
I think they *might* be called euroscrews.
Yes, see for example:-
Get yourself down your local Ikea, they usually have a stock of spares such as missing screws often you can just help yourself. If not make out you have bought something only to find a few items missing.

So that is where Europeans keep their hidden stash of Euros then, in their drawers. Brian
Hmm...
IKEA is a bit far away. EBay has them, but I?m unsure if I want M5 x 9, or M6 x 8. I?ll have to pull out one of the ones I have, and/or order a pack of each.
Screwfix do some. M6 x 10.5 at 1.99 for 100.
Take a look under Hinge Screws.
Have you a large B&Q nearby? They had spares for mine. Expensive but convenient.
M threads are for use with nuts, they won't grip wood or chipboard. For the latter you need a coarse thread screw.

The 'M' in the 'M5 x 9' and 'M6 x 8' above simply means 5mm or 6mm, I agree it's sort of incorrect usage but I've seen it quite often with woodscrews.
I thought you were going to say "If not take a screwdriver and take some from the display models"
Adam that was going to be plan B
