FAQs
Can these be used on metal surfaces?
No, these are specifically designed for wood and chipboard applications.
Are screws included in the pack?
The pack contains ten modesty blocks; please check your specific packaging for included hardware, as screws are typically sold separately.
Are these suitable for outdoor furniture?
These are intended for indoor furniture and cabinetry. Exposure to outdoor elements may cause the material to degrade.
Can I paint over the white finish?
Yes, if you need to match a different color, you can lightly sand and paint the blocks.
How much weight can one block support?
The weight capacity depends on the quality of the wood/chipboard and the screws used, rather than just the block itself.
Troubleshooting
Joint feels loose after installation
Verify that the screws are fully tightened and that the wood panels were flush before driving the screws home.
Wood or chipboard split during installation
Ensure you are drilling smaller pilot holes before inserting the screws to reduce pressure on the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these fixings, ensure you have a standard screwdriver and appropriate wood screws that fit the pre-drilled holes in the blocks.
- Marking: Position the block at the desired joint corner and mark your pilot hole locations.
- Pilot Holes: Drill small pilot holes to prevent the wood or chipboard from splitting.
- Fastening: Secure the block using wood screws, ensuring not to overtighten, which could crack the plastic or strip the chipboard.
- Maintenance: Periodically check that screws remain tight if the furniture is subject to frequent vibration or movement. For care, keep the blocks free of dust and debris, and wipe down with a damp cloth if necessary; avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may discolor the white finish.
