No: 24 Straight Angle Bracket 2x40x40 mm (100 Pieces)

No. 24 Flat Brace – 2 × 40 × 40 mm, Box of 100

No. 24 Flat Braces are compact, wide‑format joining plates designed for furniture manufacturing, timber construction, and assembly work. With a 2 mm thickness, 40 mm width, and 40 mm length, they deliver broad‑surface grip specifically where space is limited. They are the ideal solution for tight, confined spots where standard narrow braces are insufficient but larger plates simply cannot fit. The flat profile fits neatly along panel edges, inside frame corners, and at small furniture joints. Supplied in a pack of 100, they offer economical stock management for workshops and small‑to‑medium‑scale projects.

Product Advantages

• 40 mm Wide Body: Far broader contact area than standard 16 mm braces; distributes load across four separate points and protects timber from splitting or tearing
• Four‑Hole Security: Enables two‑row fixing; minimises risk of rotation, slipping, or loosening — the joint stays secure for years
• Ultra‑Compact Length: Shortest in the series — shorter than No. 25 (60 mm), No. 26 (80 mm), and No. 27 (100 mm); the only practical choice where space is extremely restricted
• Robust Construction: 2 mm steel plate; will not bend, flex, or deform under normal and medium‑weight use
• Zinc‑Plated Finish: Rust‑resistant indoors; no discolouration, maintains a neat, professional appearance
• Quick & Simple Fit: No special tools — secure with suitable screws in seconds
• Dual‑Purpose Design: Functions as both connector and reinforcement in one piece — no separate components required
• Convenient Bulk Pack: Easy stock management for workshops and small‑to‑medium projects; low unit cost delivers excellent economy

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the mounting surface is flat, clean, and structurally sound
• Mark the joint location; centre the brace so it bears evenly on both mating components
• Select suitable screws: use wood screws with 4–5 mm head diameter; match shank to the 5 mm holes
• Tighten gradually in a crossing pattern; do not fully tighten until all screws are seated
• Avoid over‑tightening — timber may split or the plate may distort
• Install additional braces for heavier loads; use parallel rows instead of a single line
• Use stainless‑steel screws in damp environments such as kitchens and bathrooms
• Loosen screws gradually in a cross pattern during disassembly to prevent straining the timber

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this differ from the other numbered models?
No. 24 = 40 mm; No. 25 = 60 mm; No. 26 = 80 mm; No. 27 = 100 mm. No. 24 is the shortest — preferred where connection distance is minimal and space is tight.

What weight can it support?
With four fixing points, load capacity is higher than narrow‑width braces of the same thickness. Its short profile makes it especially resistant to lateral and twisting forces; for vertical heavy loads, select a longer model.

Will it rust?
Zinc plating provides reliable indoor protection. For exterior or persistently damp locations, the stainless‑steel version is recommended.

Are other sizes available?
Yes — lengths include 60 mm, 80 mm, and 100 mm; widths also offered in 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, and 50 mm.

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