The OMIDEAS Flat Joining Plates are an essential hardware solution for DIY enthusiasts, woodworkers, and contractors looking to reinforce timber and wood structures. Designed for durability and stability, these plates provide a reliable way to connect, repair, or strengthen furniture and shelving units with a professional finish. While these plates offer high-grade structural support and corrosion resistance, users should be aware that mounting screws are not included in the package and must be purchased separately.

No, screws are not included. You will need to purchase 5 mm compatible screws separately.
Yes, the plates are designed with corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor applications, though regular maintenance is recommended.
These plates are 2 mm thick, providing a balance between flexibility and structural rigidity.
Each plate features 12 pre-drilled 5 mm holes arranged in a staggered pattern.
These are primarily for furniture, shelving, and general timber framing. Always consult a structural engineer for load-bearing roof or major building construction.
Ensure the wood surface is perfectly flat and free of debris. If the wood is warped, use clamps to pull the surfaces tight before screwing the plate into place.
Ensure you are using countersunk screws if you require a flush finish, and ensure the screw head size is compatible with the 5 mm diameter of the plate holes.
To install these plates, ensure the wooden surface is clean and level. Position the plate over the joint, mark the holes, and pilot drill the wood to prevent splitting. Use compatible 5 mm wood screws (sold separately) to attach the plate firmly.
Regarding compatibility, these plates work best with softwood and hardwood timber. For outdoor use, while the plates feature corrosion-resistant finishes, consider applying an additional protective sealant if you live in high-salinity or heavy-rainfall environments. Periodically check the tightness of the screws after the first few months, as wood may shrink or swell with seasonal humidity changes.
