No: 14 Metal Flat Angle Bracket 2x40x64 mm (100 Pieces)

No. 14 Flat Brace – 2 × 40 × 64 mm, Box of 100

No. 14 Flat Braces are practical, durable connecting plates that deliver wide‑format grip in compact dimensions. With a 2 mm thickness, 40 mm width, and 64 mm length, they are the ideal solution where space is limited but a broad contact area is required. The flat profile suits furniture carcass joints, internal frame reinforcement, and small‑to‑medium timberwork. Supplied in boxes of 100, they provide economical stock management for workshops and projects.

Applications

• Small‑ and medium‑scale furniture carcass and frame assemblies
• Wide‑grip connections in plywood, particleboard, and MDF in confined spaces
• Joint points for cabinets, bedside units, shelves, and interior fittings
• Reinforcement of timber doors, hinges, and connection points
• Internal reinforcement pieces for window and door joinery
• Repair of weakened joints during renovation work
• Custom‑built and compact furniture manufacturing
• Mass‑production and small‑to‑medium‑scale projects

Product Advantages

• 40 mm Wide Format: Far broader grip area than standard 16 mm plates; spreads load across four separate points and greatly reduces the risk of material splitting or tearing
• 64 mm Compact Length: One of the shortest among wide‑format models; the preferred choice for tight, restricted spaces
• Four‑Point Security: Dual‑row fixing minimises rotation, slip, and loosening over time — the joint remains stable 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 workshops and 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. 24 is 40 mm long, No. 25 is 60 mm, No. 26 is 80 mm, No. 27 is 100 mm; at 64 mm, No. 14 strikes a balanced choice between compactness and broad grip. Selected where space is tight but width is essential.

What weight can it support?
Four‑point fixing gives higher capacity than narrow plates of the same thickness. Reliable for medium loads on sound base material; longer, thicker models are recommended for sustained heavy loading.

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 — lengths include 50 mm, 80 mm, 100 mm, and 160 mm; widths also available in 16 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, and 60 mm.

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