The "Reach & Rescue" Fastener

You want to reinforce your door hinges with longer screws for security, or fix a stripped screw hole by reaching deeper wood. But there is a problem: The standard 3-inch security screws found at hardware stores are huge (#9 or #10). Their heads stick out of your hinge, preventing the door from closing.

The Solution: IMSCREWS #7 x 1-3/4"
This hard-to-find size offers the best of both worlds:
1. Small Head (#7): Fits flush into standard and vintage hinge countersinks like a factory screw.
2. Long Reach (1-3/4"): Extends 75% deeper than standard screws to bite into fresh wood or reach the sub-frame.

Ideal Applications:
• Hinge Reinforcement: Upgrade security without replacing the hinges.
• Stripped Hole Repair: When a 1" screw spins loose, this 1-3/4" screw grabs solid wood deeper in the hole.
• Antique Restoration: Fastening thick components without splitting aged, brittle wood.

Technical Specifications:
• Quantity: 25 Pieces
• Size: #7 x 1-3/4 Inch (3.9mm x 44.5mm)
• Head Type: Flat Countersunk (82¡ã)
• Drive Type: Phillips #2
• Material: 304 Stainless Steel (Integral Matte Black)

• CRITICAL INSTALLATION ADVICE:
This is a slender screw with a long shaft. To avoid snapping the head:
1. Pre-Drill: Use a 7/64" drill bit to create a pilot hole full depth.
2. Lubricate: Rub screw threads with beeswax or bar soap.
3. Hand Drive: Use a screwdriver, NOT an impact driver.

Package Contains:
25 x Deep Reach Repair Screws (#7 x 1-3/4")

Key Features

• [RARE SIZE: #7 x 1-3/4"] The specific solution for reinforcing hinges with small countersinks. Most long screws are too thick (#8/#9) to fit flush in vintage or standard door hinges. This #7 screw provides the extended 1-1/4" reach you need for security, while the compact head fits perfectly where thicker screws fail.
• [DEEP BITE FOR STRIPPED HOLES] When standard 1" hinge screws spin loosely, you need to reach deeper. The 1-3/4" (44.5mm) length bypasses the damaged wood surface and grips nearly an inch into fresh, solid wood deep inside the jamb, permanently stabilizing sagging doors.
• [INTEGRAL MATTE BLACK FINISH] We utilize a specialized surface treatment to blacken the steel structure. It is NOT painted. This integral finish eliminates the risk of paint chipping off or clogging the Phillips drive, ensuring a smooth, professional installation that blends with black hardware.
• [ANTI-SPLIT SLENDER PROFILE] Ideal for antique restoration. The #7 diameter (3.9mm) is strong enough for heavy doors but slender enough to prevent splitting delicate wood frames¡ªa common risk when trying to force a thick #9 security screw into an old jamb.
• [• INSTALLATION WARNING] Prevent Snapping: This screw has a high length-to-thickness ratio. 1. Always drill a 7/64" pilot hole (especially in hardwood studs). 2. Do not use an Impact Driver. 3. Lubricate threads with wax/soap to reduce friction during insertion.
