Product Information

Full details

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.

FAQs

Can these pins be used outdoors?

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.

What tools are needed for installation?

A standard hammer, a nail punch (for finishing), or a compatible pneumatic nail gun.

Do I need to drill pilot holes?

Pilot holes are not strictly necessary but are recommended when working with thin wood or near the edges to prevent splitting.

Are these pins suitable for oak?

Yes, but because oak is a dense hardwood, pre-drilling a pilot hole is strongly advised to avoid bending the pin.

What is the diameter of the pin?

The pins have a diameter of 1.60mm.

Troubleshooting

Pin bends while being hammered

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.

Pin head sits above the wood surface

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent corrosion resistance due to the sherardised finish
  • Standard sizing makes them highly versatile for common workshop projects
  • Easy to drive into various types of soft and hardwood
  • High-quality construction ensures pins do not bend easily during installation

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy-duty structural framing
  • Sherardised grey finish may be visible if not countersunk and filled
  • Limited to interior or sheltered exterior use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
