National Mfg N220-285 Mending Plate 0.75x6 in Zinc 5 Pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N220-285 is a zinc-plated steel mending plate used to reinforce, repair, and join wood members in framing, furniture, and general construction applications. Measuring 0.75 inches wide by 6 inches long, this flat joiner plate provides a low-profile metal bridge across butt joints, split wood, and cracked framing members. The zinc plating resists corrosion in typical indoor environments. This package contains 5 plates and ships without screws, allowing installers to select fasteners appropriate for the specific substrate and load requirements.

Mending plates in this size range are widely used in residential and light commercial woodworking, furniture repair, cabinet assembly, and rough framing reinforcement. Carpenters, general contractors, and maintenance technicians commonly stock these plates for quick structural repairs on door frames, window casings, shelving, and wood-panel assemblies. The bulk pack format suits service vans and job-site toolboxes where multiple repairs may be needed in a single visit.

Ensure the mating wood surfaces are clean, dry, and flush before fastening to achieve full plate contact. Follow applicable building codes when using mending plates in structural framing applications.
