The NATIONAL HARDWARE N266-361 is a zinc-finish steel corner brace designed for reinforcing and repairing a wide range of household structures and furnishings. Measuring 2 inches by 5/8 inches, this compact reinforcing angle provides structural support at corners and joints where wood or other materials have loosened or failed. The zinc finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor applications. At approximately 0.04 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. This type of hardware is commonly installed by carpenters, handymen, and general contractors performing finish work or light structural repairs.

Sold individually, it can be purchased in the quantity needed for a given job.
