PLEASE NOTE: This hinge is designed to fit in a fostener drilled flat bottom recess 1-3/16 inch Diameter for a tight fit in 3/4 inch wood thickness. A longer screw will not work unless your wood is thicker. If you will notice, the screws go in at an angle and not straight through. The design behind this is that when the hinge is slipped into the recess(which must be a pretty tight fit) then the screws go in at an angle and hold it in place by a wedging effect. This allows it to be secured and still remain usable in a 3/4 inch board. It is difficult to install so we do mention that it inch is not an an amateur job inch DLH
