FAQs
What type of screws should I use with this bracket?
The bracket itself does not come with screws. You should use screws that are appropriate for the materials you are joining (e.g., wood screws for timber) and are long enough to provide a secure hold without damaging the material.
Is this bracket suitable for outdoor use?
While the brown finish offers some protection, prolonged exposure to the elements may lead to corrosion. For consistent outdoor use, consider brackets specifically designed for weather resistance.
How do I know which size Abru Angle Bracket to choose?
Consider the dimensions of the items you are joining and the expected load. Larger brackets with thicker material are generally used for heavier or larger items. Refer to the full Abru range for size and strength options.
Can I paint this bracket to match my decor?
Yes, the surface can typically be painted. For best results, clean the bracket thoroughly, lightly sand the surface, apply a suitable primer, and then finish with your chosen paint.
What is the load-bearing capacity of this bracket?
The specific load-bearing capacity varies depending on the size and strength chosen from the Abru range, as well as the materials it's attached to and the fasteners used. For the 75mm x 85mm x 40mm bracket, it's designed for general reinforcement; consult the Abru product catalog for detailed specifications if precise load ratings are critical.
Does the brown colour fade over time?
The durability of the colour finish depends on environmental factors. In direct sunlight or harsh conditions, some fading may occur over extended periods. Regular cleaning and care can help maintain its appearance.
Troubleshooting
Bracket feels loose after installation
Check that all screws/bolts are fully tightened. Ensure the screws/bolts are of the correct length and type for the materials being joined. If the material is soft, consider using anchors or a larger screw size.
Difficulty aligning bracket for drilling
Use a pencil to lightly mark the screw hole positions before drilling. Temporarily secure the bracket with one screw to hold it in place while marking or drilling the remaining holes.
Rust or corrosion appearing on the bracket
Ensure the bracket is kept in a dry environment. If minor rust appears, gently clean with a wire brush and apply a protective coating if desired. This specific model's finish may offer some protection, but prolonged exposure to moisture should be avoided.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Determine the desired placement for the bracket to reinforce the joint.
- Align the bracket with the surfaces to be joined.
- Mark the screw hole locations.
- Pre-drill pilot holes if necessary, especially in harder woods.
- Secure the bracket using appropriate screws or bolts (not included), ensuring they are long enough to penetrate both surfaces adequately but not so long they protrude.
Compatibility:
This bracket is compatible with wood, composite materials, and some plastics. Ensure the material you are attaching it to can support the intended load. It is designed for use with standard M-sized screws and bolts.
Care:
Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which may damage the finish. Periodically check the tightness of the fasteners to ensure continued stability.
