substitute for long euroscrews

[JohnD]

i got hold of some used Kesseboehmer iMove pull down shelves. The fitting templates say they need 6.3mm x 48mm
Euroscrews. It is because they pass through the thick plastic pivoting sides. I can't find longer than 25mm

what can I use instead?

I have not yet drilled the cabinets, which are laminated chipboard.

Furniture screws, eh. Thanks. That seems to be it
(Though the one illustrated in the instructions is a Euroscrew)

Might also be called Confirmat screws.

For the benefit of non-Europeans, the Euroscrew for kitchen cabinets has a thick, unpointed shaft, with a coarse, biting, untapered thread, I suppose to take a lot of weight in quite a shallow hole, in weak material, and a relatively small countersunk head. They are usually much shorter.

These are the things. Mine are the doubles. Because I have 900mm height wall cabs.

Turn off the annoying sound.

Racist!
