National Hardware N220-327 Mending Plate 10x1 Inch

Product Description

The NATIONAL HARDWARE N220-327 is a flat mending plate used to reinforce, attach, and splice wood panels, boards, and structural members. Made from hot-rolled steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, this plate provides a straightforward, low-profile fastening solution. It measures 10 inches in length and 1 inch in width, making it well-suited for lap joints and inline splices where flat, flush support is needed. Carpenters, finish trades, and maintenance technicians reach for this plate when joining panels end-to-end or reinforcing a weakened joint without adding bulk to the assembly.

This mending plate is used in both residential and light industrial applications. Common installations include cabinet and furniture repair, wood panel splicing, fence rail reinforcement, and general millwork. The flat profile allows it to sit flush against a surface, so it works on exposed framing, finished panels, and shelving alike. It is sold individually and ships at approximately 0.41 pounds per unit.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, maintenance technicians, or general contractors.

No special tools are required beyond a drill and driver bit. Follow local building codes where structural applications are involved.
