Manufactured from solid steel, these plates are engineered for long-term structural support in furniture, frames, and boxes. Their rigidity helps prevent wobble, warping, or splitting in corner joints.

The protective zinc coating helps resist rust and corrosion, increasing durability over time. This makes the brackets suitable for indoor use and lightly sheltered outdoor environments, such as workshops, garages, and storage areas.

Each plate features evenly spaced holes to allow quick and accurate attachment with screws. The pre-drilled design eliminates the need for manual measuring or drilling, saving time during installation.

Mark the Screw Holes: Use a pencil or marker to mark the screw positions through the pre-drilled holes.

Drill Pilot Holes (Optional but Recommended): For hardwood or thicker boards, pre-drilling helps prevent splitting and ensures precise alignment.

Secure the Plate with Screws: Use appropriate screws (not included) to attach the plate firmly to both wood surfaces.

Repeat for All Necessary Joints: For additional strength, consider using multiple brackets at each joint or reinforcing opposite corners.

Storage: Keep unused brackets in a dry, sealed container or toolbox to prevent exposure to moisture.

Cleaning: Wipe clean with a dry cloth or a lightly dampened cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaning materials to maintain the zinc coating.

Inspection: Periodically check installed brackets for tightness and corrosion, especially in environments with high humidity or temperature fluctuations.
