screw hole

Threaded cavity opening

A screw hole is a hole designed to receive a screw, either threaded to grip the screw's threads or smooth to allow the screw to pass through.

In furniture assembly and construction, aligning screw holes is often the first step: The bracket's screw holes didn't line up with the ones in the wall.
