Door Hinge Screws Extra Long #9 x 3 – Polished Brass Finish Wood Screws – Door Security Screws for Sagging Door Repair, Heavy Duty Steel, 24 Pack

Why Standard Hinge Screws Aren't Doing Their JobWhen a door manufacturer ships you a new door, the hinges come pre-mounted with short 3/4" screws. Those screws are long enough to attach the hinge to the hinge stile — and nothing more. They never reach the door jamb, never reach the wall stud, and they're the first thing to fail when a door sags, a hinge wears, or someone tries to force entry.These Screw Superstore #9 x 3" Polished Brass hinge screws are designed to fix exactly that problem. They thread into the same standard hole — no drilling, no modification — but drive clear through the hinge, jamb, shim space, and bite deep into the wall stud — the wood structural framing of your house. The result: a hinge that's anchored to the structure of your home instead of a thin strip of wood molding.Built For This Specific JobThe #9 gauge matches the standard hinge screw hole, so they install flush every time. The flat Phillips head sits perfectly inside the hinge's countersink — no proud heads catching on the door frame or scratching paint. The hardened steel core resists stripping even when driven at full torque with a power drill, and the polished brass finish is color-matched to standard polished brass door hardware so the screw head visually disappears.Ideal ForExterior entry doors, French doors, heavy solid-core doors, and any door where security mattersMaximum kick-resistance on front doors, side doors, garage entry doors, and apartment unit doors. This is the screw locksmiths and security contractors specify.Classic, colonial, and luxury hardware looks where the finish needs to match existing polished brass hardwareLocksmiths, handymen, and contractors who want one screw that solves the sagging-door call-out in five minutesThe Five-Minute InstallationOpen the door. Remove one screw from each hinge — start with the top hinge if the door sags down at the latch side, or the bottom hinge if it sags up. Drive in one of these 3" screws in its place using a standard #2 Phillips bit or hand screwdriver. Repeat on the remaining hinges. Close the door. That's the job. Most customers report the door pulls back into alignment immediately as the long screw seats into the framing behind the jamb.Pack Size & What You GetEach pack contains 24 screws — enough to upgrade one screw per hinge across 8 standard 3-hinge doors, or do a complete every-screw replacement on 2-3 doors.

• Extra Long #9 x 3" Hinge Screws – 4x longer than the standard 3/4" screws that ship with most door hinges. These 3" screws drive through the door jamb and into the wall stud for a rock-solid grip that resists pulling out and prevents door sagging.
• Fixes Sagging Doors & Stripped Screw Holes – If your door scrapes the jamb, won't latch, or has hinge screws spinning in stripped holes, swap one screw per hinge with these long polished brass screws and the door pulls back into proper alignment in minutes. No carpenter required.
• Builder-Grade Polished Brass Finish – Color-matched to standard polished brass door hardware so the screw head disappears into the hinge. Flat head, Phillips drive, hardened steel — installs with standard #2 Phillips bit or hand screwdriver.
• Adds Real Door Security – Standard hinge screws are the weakest point on most exterior doors and a kick-in target. Replacing them with our long screws anchors the hinge directly to the framing, dramatically increasing kick resistance on entry doors, side doors, and apartment doors.
• 24 Pack – 1 Per Hinge = 8 Doors Covered – Enough to upgrade every hinge on a typical home (each interior or exterior door has 3 hinges; replace 1 screw per hinge for the strength benefit).
