"The Pozidriv screw is an advanced version of the Phillips screw but the key difference is that: Phillips drivers have an intentional angle on the flanks and rounded corners so they will cam out of the slot before a power tool will twist off the screw head. The Pozidriv screws and drivers have straight sided flanks."

Thanks I learned something new! I have adjusted literally thousands of cabinet hinges over my 35+ year career and I always used a #2 "Phillips" screwdriver. I am sure in other applications it DOES matter but so people know they don't have to go out and buy a Pozi to adjust their cabinet doors.

YES moisture can cause such damage especially if the wood is Maple as our 07.5 was and it suffered from the doors swelling then shrinking resulting in loose door panels and outer frame joint shrinkage.

Good idea on the hinge offset.

Yes I had the attachment screws in my head!
