Deltana SCWB1010 Wood Screw, Solid Brass, #10 x 1"

The Deltana SCWB1010 is a #10 gauge screw with a 1 inch length, which is the common size for surface-mounted trim like door stops, hinge shims, kick plate anchoring into wood, and decorative escutcheons where the screw only has to bite into the door or jamb, not pass through it. If you are fastening through a thick backplate or need to reach solid framing behind a hollow jamb, you want a longer screw in the same series, not this one.

Solid brass, both the material and the substrate. That matters in two ways on a job: brass will not rust in a bathroom, exterior door, or coastal install, but it is softer than steel, so drill a pilot hole and drive it by hand or on a low clutch setting. A power driver at full torque will twist the head off a brass screw.

Deltana catalogs the SCWB1010 as a residential screw, and that is the right read on it. Solid brass is a decorative and corrosion-resistant fastener, not a high-strength one. For a commercial opening carrying a closer, an exit device, or a Grade 1 lock, use the steel machine screws or sex bolts the device manufacturer supplies. Where these earn their place commercially is cosmetic: replacing a visibly wrong screw head on trim in a hotel or a lobby.

No. The SCWB1010 has a wood screw thread, which cuts into wood fiber and has nothing to grip in hollow metal. On a steel door or frame you need a machine screw threaded into a tapped hole, or a self-drilling fastener rated for the gauge. Use these on wood doors, wood jambs, and wood trim only.

Eleven finishes, so you can match the screw head to the hardware instead of leaving a mismatched fastener showing: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Unlacquered Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, and Paint Black. Unlacquered brass is the one that will patina over time; PVD polished brass is the one that holds its color.

The SCWB1010 is the #10 x 1 inch size within Deltana's Solid Brass Wood Screws series, and the series runs across other gauges and lengths in the same finish range. Order by the size you need rather than substituting a different gauge, since a #8 will sit loose in a hole bored for a #10 and a #12 can split the stile.

Deltana finishes the SCWB1010 in Oil Rubbed Bronze alongside the same finishes it puts on its trim and hardware, so a screw ordered in that finish is meant to disappear into an ORB hinge, stop, or escutcheon rather than sit there as a bright spot. Living finishes like oil rubbed bronze and unlacquered brass darken with handling, so a new screw in an older installation may take time to blend.
