What #/head type wood screws do I need to put this in? (Using this in an Ikea Rast cabinet ~3/4 inch walls)

I would use 3/4" pan head wood screws #8 or #10. Also, pre-drill pilot holes in the cabinet with a small 3/32" drill bit.

There are many choices, a good discussion with other links on the topic is found here: http://www.gearslutz.com/board/newbie-audio-engineering-production-question-zone/683328-rack-rail-installation-info.html

rast is solid pine and would not want bolt heads on the outside of my rack.. pan head screws should be find unless you are filling the thing with a bunch of heavy power amps. I would put my heaviest piece on the bottom though.

I would use a bolt and nut to secure the rail to a piece of wood. Most heavy duty road cases use this method. Idea wood is mostly particle board, you'll have a difficult time getting a wood screw to work with it.

The screws were about an inch long. Too long to use on a cabinet door. I mounted mine on a cabinet door using two 3M hooks on the top rail. Stays on even when the cabinet door is opened and closed, although it does sway a bit.

Sorry, I sold the piece on which I used them, but cabinet screws are a standard size (these were standard) so you should be OK. If the screws are too wide, just drill a slightly larger hole. If they are too small, the knob itself will cover the hole on the front, use a washer on the back if needed (unlikely) and make sure the knobs are screwed down nice and snug. Length is more what you have to be concerned about because of the variability of the drawer/cabinet thickness. But that's a problem that can be easily solved by buying longer (or shorter) screws. Most knobs come with longer screws that "snap" off these days. Can't remember what came with these.

I don't see why you couldn't use wood screws. I like the kreg screws though, they are very sharp and the square bit drive prevents the slippage. If you insist on wood screws, before you choose the right thread; coarse or fine, and the right length.

The screws are about 1 3/8" deep for use on drywall. For kitchen cabinet made of solid material, you could you could purchase a different depth of screw and not use the wall anchors it will be fine, but make sure the head of the screw can enter the mounts.

I had to buy longer screws found them at lowes home improvements. They are metric screws m4 7 they come in many sizes a 2 inch screw would be 4o mm

I don't remember the exact size, but take the screw to a Lowe's or Home Depot and look for T-Nuts - I'm almost positive that is what is being used. They should be in the nuts/bolts/screws aisle in one of the drawer chests opposite the bins of loose bolts, or you MIGHT find them on the wall above the bins.

Go down to your local hardware store and tell them what you are trying to do - they will point you towards the right hardware. Briefly, you're going to want a HSS (high speed steel) or a titanium carbon-coated drill bit and the right screws. Make sure you're not exceeding weight specs (for the mount OR your wall)

I AM unsure because I have not had to do so yet. Why not take it to your local hardware store (lowes, home depot, menards..etc) and see if they can tell you what screws you would need.

Hi, the screws that came with mine fit perfectly. I used them on an antique dresser.

Well the larger angled screws are for the pull out piece to anchor onto - so they go onto the opposite wall. The small headed screws need to be fastened into a wall with anchors or a stud or a wooden wall - you can't just screw them into plain plaster. There are these handy screw in anchors available at the hardware store that work great. It needs to be sturdy because it is under tension. Love my unit!

Hi! I do know that the screws are Phillips type approx. 1/4" long. For exact details, you can contact Sceptre at:!-800-788-2878. They are very helpful! I STRONGLY suggest you use a power screwdriver...the fit is tight.

Drill 2 holes on the inside of the cabinet for the screws to fit, in the area which has the extra wood reinforcement (the upper part). Mark the spots on the wall to be drilled and make sure you use sturdy anchors for the screws. I used ones that would accommodate 40 pounds...just in case something heavy was to be placed in the cabinet. Hope this helps!

We used 1" Phillips Head screws. My husband put in 4. He can't remember if the holes were pre-drilled or not. Either way the screws make it solidly stable. As he recalls it was really easy. He doesn't remember if the tabs were a problem; however, if they were he would have done the screws anyway...

Yup, I bought two sets and slapped them both in a rast bedside no problem. Just needed a few additional screw to attach them to the inside of the wood, but the fit is perfect with no modifications. Lemme know if you have any other q's (nsafchuk@hotmail.com)

Asked my hubby who installed it, and he said he more than likely bought screws to fit (not using the one's enclosed with the product). We also mounted it on the outside of a cabinet, so not a very thick piece of wood. Love the holder, it allows for more counter space now.
