Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can these mending plates be used outdoors?

These plates are zinc plated for basic corrosion resistance and are best suited for indoor use. For outdoor applications, stainless steel or galvanized options would provide better long-term protection against the elements.

Q2: What screw size is recommended?

Typically, No. 6 or No. 8 wood screws are suitable, depending on your application. Ensure the screw head fits the countersunk holes in the plate to achieve a flush finish.

Q3: Are these plates suitable for structural or load-bearing repairs?

No. These mending plates are designed for light to moderate reinforcement and are not certified for structural or load-bearing use. For heavy-duty structural repairs, consult a qualified contractor or use purpose-designed brackets.

Q4: What types of wood can these plates be used with?

They are compatible with most softwoods and hardwoods, including pine, oak, MDF, and plywood. Pre-drilling is recommended for harder materials.

Q5: Are the screws included in the pack?

No, screws are not included. This allows users to select the appropriate screw size and type based on their specific project requirements.

Q6: Can I paint over the plates?

Yes. While the zinc finish provides corrosion protection, the plates can be primed and painted to match surrounding materials if a more discreet finish is desired.

Q7: Are different sizes available in the Securpak mending plate range?

Yes, Securpak offers various sizes of mending plates and other reinforcement hardware. Check with your local retailer or distributor for availability.
