Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can this be used for structural repairs?

No. These mending plates are designed for light to moderate reinforcement and are not suitable for structural load-bearing applications.

Q2: Are the screws included in the pack?

No. Screws are not included to allow flexibility depending on your specific wood type and project needs.

Q3: Is this suitable for outdoor use?

These plates are zinc plated, which provides basic corrosion resistance, but they are best suited for indoor use. For outdoor applications, consider using galvanized or stainless-steel alternatives.

Q4: What type of wood can I use these on?

These mending plates can be used on a wide range of materials, including pine, oak, MDF, chipboard, and plywood. Pre-drilling is recommended for dense hardwoods.

Q5: What size screws should I use?

Typically, No. 6 or No. 8 wood screws work well. Choose a length that will secure the plate firmly without piercing through the other side of the wood.

While it’s possible to cut the plate using metal snips or a hacksaw, doing so may affect its integrity or zinc coating. Its recommended to use a plate of the correct size where possible.

Yes. Securpak offers a wide range of mending plates in various lengths and sizes. Please check your local retailer for availability.
