Deltana SCWB1275 Wood Screw, Solid Brass, #12 x 3/4"

The SCWB1275 is a #12 gauge wood screw with a 3/4 inch length. The #12 is the shank diameter and the 3/4 inch is how deep it goes into the substrate, so it is a short, thick screw meant for fastening hardware into solid wood where you only have limited depth behind the plate. Deltana lists the thread as 8 x 1.6mm. If your hardware needs to bite deeper than 3/4 inch, this is the wrong length.

No. This is a wood screw, threaded for solid wood only. It will not cut threads in a hollow metal door or hold in drywall without an anchor. For a wood door, wood jamb, or a solid wood stile behind the trim it is the right fastener; anything else needs a machine screw or the proper anchor.

Solid brass. Both the material and the substrate are brass, so the finish sits on brass rather than on plated steel. That matters on a screw head that stays visible, since a scratch or a screwdriver slip exposes more brass instead of bare steel, and brass will not rust in a humid bath or exterior-facing opening. The tradeoff is that brass is softer than steel.

Yes, pilot the hole. A #12 is a heavy gauge screw and brass is a soft metal, so driving one dry into hardwood is how you shear the head off or chew out the drive. Pilot for the #12 shank, drive it slow, and finish by hand. On a 3/4 inch screw you have very little length to work with if the head snaps flush.

Each. The unit of measure on the SCWB1275 is a single screw, so the quantity you enter is the number of screws you get, not packs. If you are replacing four screws per hinge or plate across a run of doors, count the openings and multiply.

Deltana classes the SCWB1275 as residential. It is a decorative finish screw for door trim and accessories, meant for matching visible hardware in homes and light multi-family work rather than for high-traffic commercial openings. On a commercial door with heavy cycle counts, use the screws specified with the device.

The screw is offered in the same finish names Deltana uses across its trim line, so ordering the screw in Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, or Brushed Chrome lets you match the plate, hinge, or stop it is going into. Order the screw in the same finish you ordered the hardware in. Living or unlacquered finishes will drift over time; the screw and the hardware age together only if they start the same.
