Hillman Fasteners 122627 Escutcheon Pin 5/8in X18 Brass

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 122627 is a solid brass escutcheon pin sized at 5/8 inches by gauge 18. Escutcheon pins are small, thin-shank nails used to secure hardware trim pieces such as keyhole covers, hinges, and decorative plates to wood substrates. The solid brass construction resists corrosion and provides a finished appearance suited to exposed decorative applications. This package contains 2 oz of pins, providing a practical quantity for small trim and hardware installation tasks encountered in residential service and light commercial work.

Escutcheon pins are commonly used by finish carpenters, cabinetmakers, locksmiths, and general contractors when fastening decorative hardware escutcheons, name plates, and similar trim components. The 18-gauge shank diameter is well suited to thin or delicate materials where a larger nail would split the substrate. Solid brass construction makes these pins appropriate for exterior or moisture-exposed hardware installations where ferrous fasteners would corrode and stain surrounding surfaces.

Key Features

• Solid brass construction for corrosion resistance in decorative and moisture-exposed applications
• 18-gauge shank minimizes splitting risk in thin wood and delicate trim materials
• 5/8-inch length suits standard escutcheon and decorative hardware mounting depth
• 2 oz package quantity provides a working supply for trim and hardware installation tasks
• Finished brass appearance matches standard decorative hardware finishes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fastener for securing decorative escutcheon plates, keyhole covers, name plates, and similar thin brass or wood-mounted hardware trim components.

Installation Notes

Escutcheon pins are typically driven by hand using a tack hammer or small finish hammer. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended in hardwoods or near edges to prevent splitting. No power tools are required, but care should be taken to drive pins flush without denting surrounding decorative surfaces. Follow the hardware manufacturer's fastener recommendations when securing structural or security-critical trim components.
