National Mfg N285-551 Double Wide Corner Brace 2pk Zinc

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N285-551 is a double wide corner brace sold in a 2-pack, designed to reinforce and support right-angle joints in wood framing, furniture, cabinetry, and general construction applications. Each brace measures 2 inches by 1.5 inches and features a zinc finish for corrosion resistance. The wider bracket profile distributes load across a larger surface area compared to standard corner braces, making it suitable for joints that require added structural support. Carpenters, general contractors, and maintenance professionals install this hardware where sturdy, right-angle reinforcement is needed on interior wood assemblies.

This corner brace is used in residential and light commercial settings for reinforcing shelving, furniture frames, cabinet boxes, and structural wood connections. The zinc finish suits interior applications where moderate corrosion resistance is required. The double wide design provides additional bearing surface at the joint, making it appropriate for applications where a standard narrow brace would not provide sufficient support. It is typically installed with wood screws through the pre-drilled mounting holes in each leg of the brace.

Key Features

• Double wide profile for increased load distribution at right-angle joints
• Zinc finish provides corrosion resistance for interior use
• Each brace measures 2 inches by 1.5 inches
• Sold as a 2-pack for back-to-back or paired installation needs
• Pre-drilled mounting holes for straightforward fastener installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use corner brace compatible with standard interior wood framing, shelving, cabinetry, and furniture repair applications where a 2-inch by 1.5-inch right-angle bracket is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by general carpenters, maintenance technicians, or knowledgeable DIYers using standard hand tools. Fasten the brace with appropriately sized wood screws through the pre-drilled holes into solid wood substrate on both legs of the brace. Ensure the mating surfaces are flush and square before driving fasteners to maintain a true right-angle joint. Do not overtighten fasteners in soft wood, as this may strip the mounting holes and reduce holding strength.
