The Unifix Sherardised Panel Pins are an essential hardware component designed for both DIY hobbyists and professional woodworkers who require a reliable, rust-resistant fastening solution for light-duty wood projects. These 30 x 1.60mm pins provide a secure hold for trim, paneling, and general cabinetry work, though they are specifically intended for interior or sheltered applications rather than heavy-duty structural load-bearing projects.

While the sherardised finish offers good corrosion resistance, they are best suited for interior or well-sheltered outdoor environments. For permanent, fully exposed outdoor use, stainless steel fasteners are recommended.
A standard hammer, a nail punch (for finishing), or a compatible pneumatic nail gun.
Pilot holes are not strictly necessary but are recommended when working with thin wood or near the edges to prevent splitting.
Yes, but because oak is a dense hardwood, pre-drilling a pilot hole is strongly advised to avoid bending the pin.
The pins have a diameter of 1.60mm.
Ensure you are using a smooth-faced hammer and that you are striking the head squarely; if the wood is extremely dense hardwood, consider using a slightly smaller diameter pilot hole.
Use a nail punch to gently drive the head below the surface of the wood, then fill the small indent with wood filler for a seamless finish.
For optimal results, ensure your hammer is well-weighted to the task—a light finish hammer is typically ideal. If using a pneumatic nailer, verify that the tool is calibrated for 1.60mm diameter pins to avoid jamming. While the sherardised coating is durable, avoid exposing these pins to harsh, direct weather conditions for extended periods to maintain their finish. Store the pins in a dry, low-humidity environment to prevent any potential oxidation over long-term storage.
