What Is a DIN 96 Raised Countersunk Wood Screws
Round head, countersunk, and raised countersunk wood screws all cut the same self-tapping thread into timber — the difference is entirely in what happens above the surface. A round head (DIN 95) sits fully proud; a plain countersunk head (DIN 97) sits fully flush, seated into a matching countersunk hole. DIN 96 sits deliberately between the two: the lower portion of the head is a standard countersunk cone that seats the same way a flush screw does, but above that cone sits a small raised, domed section — giving the visible finish of a round head with the precise, self-centering seating of a countersunk one.
This is why raised countersunk heads are the standard specification for visible hardware — hinge plates, cabinet handles, decorative straps, and fittings finished with a matching cup washer. The countersunk base means the screw locates and seats predictably every time; the raised top means the fastener still reads as an intentional, finished detail rather than a purely functional one.
Akbar Fasteners Pvt. Ltd. manufactures DIN 96 wood screws in-house at our Mumbai facility, under ISO 9001:2015, with full mill test documentation, and exports this range to over 50 countries.
Where DIN 96 Screws Genuinely Earn Their Place
Precise, Self-Centering Seating
The countersunk cone base locates the screw accurately into a matching countersunk hole, the same predictable seating as a flush screw.
Finished, Decorative Appearance
The raised domed top gives visible fastening points a deliberately finished look, matched well with cup washers and decorative fittings.

DIN 96 Wood Screw Dimension & Weight Chart
Standard nominal dimensions and approximate weight by screw gauge — head diameter (dk) and countersunk depth are the figures to check first against your countersink cutter and hinge or hardware clearance. Weight is given per 100 pieces at a common reference length; actual weight scales with the length ordered.
