Formation of a screw thread in a mounting hole in furniture hardware made by the stamping and pressing process from thin sheet metal, which can be fastened to the furniture wall by means of mounting screws driven through the mounting hole into a furniture wall. The shaft of the mounting screw has at its head end a threadless section with a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the thread. The mounting hole has a free passage cross section which is smaller than the outside diameter of the thread spirals of the mounting screw, and a ring-like section of the material surrounding the free passage cross section is bent to form a thread spiral extending over more than 180°, preferably more than 270°, but no more than 360°, with a pitch corresponding to the pitch of the mounting screw thread, a portion of the section of material forming the thread spiral being cut free from the surrounding material of the hardware piece along an arcuate boundary line.

In combination: a piece of furniture hardware of relatively thin stamped and pressed sheet metal, having a section defining a mounting hole; and a mounting screw extending through the mounting hole; said screw having a head, a shaft with a thread, and adjacent the head a thread-less portion with a diameter smaller than that of the thread, the thickness of the sheet metal section being the same or slightly greater than the spacing between two adjacent turns of the thread measured at a central diameter of the thread, the mounting hole having a free cross section which is smaller than the outer diameter of the thread, the sheet metal section being annular, and having a thread extending continuously over more than 180°up to a maximum of 360°, with a pitch corresponding to that of the thread of the mounting screw, a portion of the annular section being cut free from the surrounding sheet metal along an arcuate boundary line; whereby the thread in the mounting hole is sufficient to pre-set the mounting screw, but upon screwing of the mounting screw into a bore in a piece of furniture the annular section is free of the thread of the mounting screw and surrounds the thread-less section and the head presses the furniture hardware against the piece of furniture.
