Flat angle brackets 100 mm, wide and galvanized

They are mainly used in woodwork and furniture fittings, for example to reinforce frames, cabinet frames, crates or simple constructions. Because the bracket is flat, it fits well against a flat surface and can be mounted quickly with screws.

Flat angle brackets 100 mm: when do you choose this size?

De lengte van 100 mm geeft per been een redelijk groot montagevlak. Dat is handig als je meerdere schroeven wilt plaatsen of als de verbinding wat meer belasting moet opvangen. Voor lichter werk of kleinere profielen kan een kortere maat volstaan. Meet daarom vooraf hoeveel ruimte je op het hout hebt en hoeveel schroeven je wilt gebruiken.

Galvanized steel and what to look out for

These angle brackets are galvanized, which gives the steel a protective layer against corrosion. Preferably use them indoors or in places that are not permanently wet. Choose screws that suit the wood and the holes in the angle bracket, and do not tighten them so hard that the wood is damaged.

How do you fit an angle bracket?

Place the two pieces of wood at the correct angle and check it with a try square. Hold the angle bracket against both parts, mark the holes and pre-drill if necessary. Then screw it down on one side first and then on the other. For heavier loads you can use two angle brackets, for example on either side of the joint.

Frequently asked questions

What are flat angle brackets suitable for?

They join and reinforce two pieces of wood at a right angle, for example in window frames, cabinets, frames and simple wooden structures.

Which screws do I need?

Choose screws that fit through the holes of the angle bracket and are long enough for the wood, without poking through on the other side.

Are these angle brackets suitable for outdoor use?

They are galvanized and therefore protected against rust, but extra care is needed in case of permanent exposure to moisture. If necessary, choose a version that is specifically designed for that purpose.
