No: 1 Flat Angle Bracket 2x16x50 mm (200 Pieces)

No. 1 Flat Brace – 2 × 16 × 50 mm, Box of 200

No. 1 Flat Braces are standard steel joining and reinforcing plates designed to secure parts in straight alignment and reinforce joints in furniture making, timber construction, and general assembly work. With a 2 mm thickness, 16 mm width, and 50 mm length, they provide an ideal solution for light‑to‑medium‑duty applications. The flat profile fits easily along panel edges and inside frames. Supplied in a pack of 200, they offer cost‑effective stock for high‑volume workshops and large projects.

Product Advantages

• Low‑Profile Flat Design: Fits where L‑shaped corner brackets cannot — along edges, in tight spaces, and inside frame sections
• Strong & Durable: 2 mm steel plate will not bend or flex under normal use; stays firm and tight for years
• Zinc‑Plated Finish: Rust‑resistant indoors; maintains a clean, neat, professional appearance
• Industry‑Standard Dimensions: 50 mm length × 16 mm width matches the most commonly used fitting sizes across the trade
• Dual‑Hole Security: Resists rotation and slipping far better than single‑hole fixings; the joint stays locked in place
• Economical: Low unit cost delivers affordable reinforcement for every joint in large‑scale projects
• Simple to Fit: No special tools needed — secure with suitable screws in seconds
• Convenient Bulk Pack: Stock‑friendly quantity for continuous‑production workshops; suitable for smaller runs too

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the mounting surface is flat, clean, and structurally sound
• Mark the joint position; centre the brace so it bears evenly on both components being joined
• Select appropriate screws: wood screws with a 3–4 mm head diameter for timber; match shank size to the 4–5 mm holes
• Check alignment before fully tightening; do not over‑tighten — this may split the wood or distort the plate
• Use multiple braces in parallel for heavier loads; consider double rows rather than relying on a single line
• Space evenly when fitting more than one to distribute weight across the joint
• Use stainless‑steel screws in damp environments such as kitchens and bathrooms
• When removing, loosen screws gradually in a cross pattern to avoid straining the timber

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this differ from an angle bracket?
Flat braces join or reinforce parts lying in the same plane; angle brackets are L‑shaped for 90° corner joints. Choose the style that matches your assembly geometry.

What weight can they support?
Capacity depends on screw size, quantity, and base material. Properly installed with two screws in solid timber, they provide reliable reinforcement for medium loads.

Will they rust?
Zinc plating gives good service indoors. For exterior use or constantly damp areas, select stainless‑steel equivalents.

Are other sizes available?
Yes — alternative lengths include 30 mm, 40 mm, 60 mm, and 80 mm; widths also available in 12 mm, 20 mm, and 25 mm.

Are screws included?
No — the pack contains braces only. Purchase fixings separately to suit your material type.
