Is that off a kitchen cupboard hinge?

 

[EuroTrotters]

its off a Truma 3002 gas fire lid. No tip, self tapper

looks like 12-16mm length, 5mm

For plastic self taper? if you need to replace it find a similar size wood screw or put a match stick in the hole.

 

[grasscutter]

Looks more like a cut down self tapper to me.

If you take to Screwfix they can measure it for you, they have a special tool

These are the people I use when I need replacement screws or bolts for my MOHO or car.

I note Truma do not specify this part separately on their schematic diagram.

I agree with the others it looks like a self tapper which has had the end filed off. Halfords do assorted packs for cheap.

Sorry cannot help, I'm from Birmingham, we only use nails....

Looks rather like a self tapping machine screw in stainless steel to me. Can you pick it up with a magnet?

For plastic self taper?

What he said

Normal 'no point' self tapping screw for plastic

If ordering, the length would exclude the head.

Martensitic stainless steels are magnetic (420-440), Austenitic Stainless steel (316-304) are non magnetic.
So using a magnet isn't the best way to test.

I know but it's a good starting point for "everyday' stainless.
