Hammond Box Screws-Lost, and need more

[Benjamin]

I was replacing the battery in my Zvex fuzz factory, and I did not get to it, and I lost the screws. Can I pick up more at Home Depot, if so does anyone know the exact size? I did not see any screws listed at smalbear.

Any ideas?

Ok, so if I read this right you need a 6-32 thread screw. Any idea how deep it needs to be?
Are there a certain brand that is used, or will anything do?

it says 6-32 x 1/2"

isn't the 1/2" the length, or depth as you said?

Brand really shouldn't matter.

I know Mouser Electronics sells packages of spare screws for Hammond boxes...the bags contain about 100 spare screws and they aren't too expensive.

Any flathead 6/32 x 1/2 screw will work fine. The screws from wall switch plates will also work in a pinch.

cool, now I can switch out those Posidrive screws on my Keystone boxes!
