Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N272-716 is a zinc mending plate used to reinforce, repair, and join flat wood surfaces. At 2 inches long and 0.5 inches wide, this compact flat plate is a standard hardware fastener found in furniture repair, cabinet work, light framing, and general wood joinery. The zinc construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for interior applications. This bulk pack includes 40 plates, making it practical for contractors, maintenance crews, and shop environments that require consistent supply of small fasteners on hand.

This mending plate is suited for residential and light commercial applications where flat surface reinforcement is needed. Common install scenarios include repairing split furniture frames, reinforcing butt joints on cabinetry, and securing lightweight wood assemblies. The small profile keeps the plate low-profile against wood surfaces.

Installation Notes

Mending plates are typically installed by carpenters, finish carpenters, or general maintenance technicians. Center the plate over the joint or split and fasten with appropriate wood screws through the pre-punched holes. No power tools are required for basic installation, though a drill and screwdriver bit speed up production work. Ensure the mating wood surfaces are flush and tight before fastening to achieve a solid repair.
