FAQs

Are screws included with the 20-pack?

No, this set includes the connecting plates only. You will need to source your own screws or bolts.

Can these be used outdoors?

While the material is anti-corrosion and anti-rust, they are primarily designed for indoor furniture. If used outdoors, keep them sheltered from direct rain.

What is the thickness of each plate?

Each plate is 1.5mm thick.

Can these plates be cut to a shorter size?

While technically possible with heavy-duty metal cutting tools, it is not recommended as it may affect structural integrity and expose sharp, unfinished edges.

Are the mounting holes countersunk?

The plates are flat; for a flush finish, you may need to manually countersink the wood surface before installation.

Troubleshooting

Plate is bending under load

The 1.5mm thickness is intended for light structural support. If the plate is bowing, use more plates to distribute the load or switch to a thicker reinforcement bracket.

Screws are protruding from the other side of the wood

Ensure your screws are shorter than the combined thickness of the wood you are joining to prevent breakthrough.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality anti-corrosion finish for indoor or outdoor use
  • Rounded edges improve safety and aesthetics
  • Generous 20-pack quantity is ideal for multiple furniture repair tasks
  • Standardized 100mm length fits most common household timber joints

Cons

  • Screws or bolts must be purchased separately
  • Thin 1.5mm profile may not be suitable for high-load industrial structural reinforcement

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward and requires only a screwdriver or drill.

  1. Placement: Align the plate across the two pieces of furniture you intend to join.
  2. Marking: Use a pencil to mark the location of the pre-drilled holes.
  3. Pilot Holes: If working with hardwood, drill small pilot holes to prevent the wood from splitting.
  4. Fastening: Secure the plate using wood screws or appropriate bolts matching the diameter of the pre-drilled holes.

For maintenance, wipe the plates periodically with a soft, dry cloth to keep the silver finish looking clean. While the plates are treated to be anti-rust, avoid exposing them to constant standing water or highly acidic environments.
