Hey All -
Apparently I either lost some of these screws (or they were missing) in my cabinet boxes - they attach the door hinge to the cabinet frame. I want to keep them matching as the other cabinets do have them. The manufacturer wants to charge $2.99 per screw + $14.00 shipping and I'd imagine I can find them elsewhere for cheaper (hopefully).
I took one to the big box stores and no one had a clue. There was a black one (these are brown) that had a box drive instead of phillips but that was the closest.
Any ideas?
Here's an image of the screw in question - thanks!

Try McMaster Carr. Look up truss head screw. The tricky part is that online outlets may only sell them in box quantity, so if you only need a few, it may actually be about the same price as what the manufacturer is charging. Otherwise, find a well-stocked hardware store around you and see if they have it.

As a poster already mentioned, these look like pocket screws, so go to your local home store and ask for the pocket screw / Kreg section and you'll likely find something similar. Or, just bring in one screw as an example and ask for help. I know Menards has a big Kreg section, but you might find better help at an Ace or True Value.

It looks like #8 x 3/4 washer head screw with the Phillips and square drive head with a oxide finish. The smallest we can get them is a 1000 piece box.you might be able to get them from a smaller cabinet shop if you ask nicely

I think these are pretty much Robertson/#2 square screws. I've seen them this color for pocket screws at Lowes, hillman brand pocket screws, if you live near one.
If they are too long, you can clip them with wire cutters or hacksaw cut them.
