No: 13 Metal Flat Angle Bracket 2x60x96 mm (100 Pieces)

No. 13 Metal Flat Brace – 2 × 60 × 96 mm, Box of 100

No. 13 Metal Flat Braces are durable connecting plates designed for furniture and timberwork requiring wide‑format, robust joints. With a 2 mm thickness, 60 mm width, and 96 mm length, they spread load over a generous surface and deliver reliable grip at medium‑ and large‑scale connection points. The flat profile suits panel joints, beam reinforcement, and frame connections. Supplied in boxes of 100, they offer economical stock management for workshops and projects.

Applications

• Medium‑ and large‑scale furniture carcass and frame assemblies
• Broad‑surface joints in plywood, particleboard, and thick panels
• Base‑to‑body connections for tables, cabinets, and storage units
• Reinforcement for timber partition walls and support systems
• Strengthening window and door joinery frames
• Repair of weakened wide‑area connections during renovation
• Custom‑built and heavy‑duty furniture manufacture
• Mass‑production and medium‑scale projects

Product Advantages

• 60 mm Wide Format: Far broader grip area than standard narrow plates; spreads load across six separate points and greatly reduces the risk of base material splitting or tearing
• Balanced 96 mm Length: The ideal middle ground between compact and long models — neither too short nor excessively long — and a versatile fit for most standard applications
• Six‑Point Security: Dual‑row fixing minimises rotation, slip, and loosening over time; the connection stays firm for years
• Robust Build: 2 mm thickness; will not bend, warp, or deform under normal and medium‑weight loads
• Zinc‑Plated Finish: Rust‑resistant indoors; no discolouration, maintains a clean, neat appearance
• Simple Installation: No special tools required; secure with correctly sized screws in seconds
• Dual‑Function Design: Acts as both connector and reinforcement in a single piece — no separate components needed
• Convenient Bulk Pack: Easy stock holding for large projects; low unit cost delivers an economical solution

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the mounting surface is flat, clean, and structurally sound
• Mark the joint position; centre the plate so it bears evenly across both mating members
• Select suitable fasteners: use wood screws with 5 mm head diameter; match screw size to the hole diameter
• Tighten progressively in a crossing pattern; do not fully tighten until all screws are seated
• Avoid over‑tightening — material may split or the plate may distort
• Use additional plates for heavier loads; install symmetric parallel pairs rather than a single line
• Use stainless‑steel screws in damp locations such as kitchens and bathrooms
• Loosen screws gradually in a cross pattern during disassembly to avoid straining the base material

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this differ from other wide‑format models?
No. 21 is 80 mm wide and 115 mm long; No. 13 is more compact at 60 mm wide and 96 mm long. It is the ideal choice where broad grip is needed but No. 21 would not fit.

What weight can it support?
Six‑point fixing gives higher capacity than narrow plates. Reliable in medium‑ and heavy‑duty applications when installed on sound base material.

Will it rust?
Zinc plating provides adequate protection for indoor use. For exterior or persistently damp environments, the stainless‑steel version is recommended.

Are other sizes available?
Yes — widths and lengths include 40 mm, 80 mm, 100 mm, and 160 mm. Select the dimensions that best match your application.

Are screws included?
No — plates only. Purchase fixings separately, matched to your material type.
