Emtek 100PK-12FHWS13 Replacement Hinge Screws, Flat Head Wood Screws - Steel #12 x 1-1/4" (Pack Qty 100)

They're #12 x 1-1/4 inch flat head wood screws, sold 100 to a pack. That's a replacement screw pack, not a hinge, so it's what you order when the original screws are stripped, mismatched in finish, or missing from a set. One pack covers a lot of doors, which is why it suits a property manager or maintenance shop redoing screws across a building rather than a single door.

Eleven finishes: Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Bright Chrome (625), French Antique (US7), Flat Black (US19), Medium Bronze (MB), Satin Nickel (619), Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed (613), Pewter (US15A), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Brass (606), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). Match the screw to the hinge finish code, not to the door hardware, since a visible screw head in the wrong tone is the thing people notice on an otherwise clean install.

A #12 shank is a fatter screw than the #8 and #9 most residential hinges ship with, so stepping up to #12 at the same 1-1/4 inch length is a standard fix for a hole that's been chewed out by a smaller screw. Where the wood is gone entirely, plug the hole first and drive the #12 into fresh material. If the door itself is sagging away from the jamb, the fix is a long screw into the framing behind, not a 1-1/4 inch leaf screw.

Steel, both the base material and the substrate. The finish is a coating over that steel core, so you get a harder screw than solid brass for driving into a jamb without the head cam-out or the snapped shank you can get with soft brass screws.

Flat head is the right profile for a countersunk hinge leaf. The conical underside of the head pulls down into the countersink and finishes flush with the leaf face, so the door leaf and jamb leaf can close against each other without the heads binding. An oval or pan head stands proud and is the wrong choice for a butt hinge. These are #12 x 1-1/4 inch, which is a jamb-leaf and door-leaf length, not a long anchor screw reaching the stud behind the jamb.

Emtek lists the 100PK-12FHWS13 screw pack as residential. For interior and entry doors in a house, a condo, or an apartment unit it's the matching-finish replacement screw. Heavy commercial traffic openings with Grade 1 hinges and heavy doors are typically specified with the hinge manufacturer's own fasteners rather than a residential replacement pack.

Screws only, 100 of them. This is a replacement fastener pack, so if you're replacing hinges you order the hinges separately and use this to make the screw heads match the new finish. Buyers most often reach for it when a hinge came out of the box short a screw, or when a refinish left brass heads sitting in black hinges.
