Screws for kitchen cabinet hinges

[endecotp]

Can anyone direct me to the right screws for fixing kitchen cabinet hinges?
It seems that the hinges (from the likes of Screwfix, Toolstation) come without screws. (Right?). I think they are 3.5mm. I feel there ought to be a specific special screw for this, but I can’t immediately find anything.
Or: I’ve had some hinges with flapacks that come with a thin screw and a plug. Can you buy those anywhere?

Thanks, Phil.

Often M6 Euroscrews, which are short, thick and stubby with no point, intended for use in pre-drilled chipboard.

Thanks, yes I eventually worked out that “euro screw” is what I need - but I’ve also discovered, by reading the customer reviews, that the Hafele hinges I’m looking at at Toolstation DO come with screws, contrary to their description....
I’m a bit surprised that “euro screws” are apparently not sold by Screwfix or Toolstation!

Odd. Screwfix certainly did sell them a few years back

Thanks, well spotted.
I searched for “euro screw”.

(Does anyone know if the stated length include the thickness of the head?)

 

[JohnD]

Screw length is measured from the tip of the point, to the top of the surface you screw into (in your case, of the hinge).

So countersunk screws include the head, because it goes flush with the surface, and pan head, cheese head, screw head, hex head don't.

Thanks, yes, I hoped that was the case.

It struck me that it's the "penetration depth," concisely.
