Deltana SCWS1075 Wood Screw, Steel, #10 x 3/4"

No, not for a hinge leaf going into a jamb. At 3/4 inch of length the SCWS1075 only bites about half an inch past a typical hinge leaf, which is fine for holding the leaf but not for carrying door weight into framing. Use it for face-mounted trim, strike plates on shallow prep, escutcheons, door stops, and hardware where the screw is holding a plate flat, not carrying load.

Steel, with the finish applied as a plating or coating. Both the material and the substrate on the SCWS1075 are steel, so a Polished Brass or Antique Brass version is a steel screw finished to match brass hardware, not a brass screw. That matters two ways: the steel body is stronger in the head than solid brass, so it is far less likely to snap or cam out when you drive it, but the finish is a surface layer, so a screwdriver that slips will mark it.

The SCWS1075 is sold each, one screw per unit. If you are replacing a full set of hardware screws across several doors, count the holes and order that quantity rather than assuming a pack.

If the hardware takes a #10 screw and needs 3/4 inch of length, the SCWS1075 matches, and you order it in the same finish name as the hardware, Oil Rubbed Bronze to Oil Rubbed Bronze, Antique Brass to Antique Brass. Deltana uses the same finish vocabulary across its trim and accessories, so the screw head will read the same as the plate it sits in. If your existing screw is longer than 3/4 inch, get the longer size instead; the head will look the same but the shorter one may not hold.

Eleven finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Zinc Dichromate, Polished Brass, Brushed Brass, Antique Brass, USP, and Prime Coat White. That range exists so the screw head disappears into the hardware it is fastening rather than sitting on it as a bright dot. Zinc Dichromate and USP are the utility platings for concealed work; Prime Coat White is meant to be painted over.

For anything exposed to weather, steel is the wrong body unless the plating stays intact. The SCWS1075 is a steel screw with a plated finish, which suits interior and protected applications; it is catalogued for residential use. Once the coating is scratched at the head, plated steel will corrode where solid brass or stainless would not. Indoors, or under a cover plate outdoors, the steel body is the stronger choice.

It is catalogued as a residential fastener. For a high-traffic commercial opening, and particularly for anything on a fire-rated door assembly, use the fastener the door hardware manufacturer specifies for that device rather than a general trim screw. The SCWS1075 fits residential and light interior door trim and accessory work.

In hardwood, yes. A #10 shank is a fairly heavy screw for door trim work, and driving it dry into oak or maple will split a thin stile or a door stop. A pilot hole sized to the root diameter, with the top of the hole cleared for the shank, lets the head seat flush so the plated finish on the SCWS1075 stays unmarked. In softwood or an existing hardware hole, it drives without prep.
