Anyone know the details on this type of screw? One of them somehow fell out of my outdoor breaker box. Not sure where to find a replacement.

Is that holding the inside trim cover? Or like the door hinge?

Nothing special about it. Could probably get a similar size/thread and out a fender washer on it. Or try Western Fasteners or Quality Fasteners.

It's holding the side opposite of the hinge, so the door just slides up under it when closing to secure it.

It's like a "shoulder bolt"….but a screw. McMaster care would have it but you'll need to match thread. I doubt Lowe's or Hd would have them but perhaps an electrical supplier of your choice would?

If you don't need the requirement of the shoulder, then any old screw with the right thread will work.

As an aside, I am constantly frustrated with issues like this in that the manufacturer has a supplier by the tens of thousands of those bolts, but yet, you can't find them anywhere.

Electrical aisle in home depot maybe or the specialty bolts section

Just need one with same thread and length

They help guide the door to seat and latch properly and they are a second line of defense (kind of) on removing the dead front panel.
