National Hardware N266-569 Flat Iron Zinc 4x3/4 in

Product Description

The NATIONAL HARDWARE N266-569 is a zinc-finished flat iron mending plate used for general fastening, bracing, and reinforcement tasks in light construction and woodworking applications. Built from hot-rolled steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this flat plate measures 4 inches in length by 3/4 inch in width. It is part of the catalog 117 through V117 series. Tradespeople and contractors reach for flat iron plates when they need a straightforward, low-profile metal reinforcement without the complexity of a corner bracket or structural connector. The zinc finish helps resist oxidation in typical indoor and sheltered outdoor environments.

This flat iron is suited for residential and light commercial applications including door and window repairs, cabinet and furniture mending, wood framing reinforcement, and general shop work. The slim profile allows it to sit flush against a surface without adding significant bulk. It is sold individually and is appropriate for use wherever a simple steel strap or mending plate is called for in carpentry and construction tasks.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, general contractors, or maintenance technicians using standard hand tools. Fasten with appropriately sized screws or bolts matched to the substrate material and load requirements. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and structurally sound before securing the plate. Follow all applicable local building codes for structural fastening applications.
