These plates are zinc plated for basic corrosion resistance and are primarily intended for indoor use. For outdoor or high-moisture environments, consider galvanized or stainless-steel alternatives.

Q4: Can this plate be cut or trimmed?

While it’s possible to trim the plate with metal snips or a hacksaw, it’s not generally recommended as it may compromise the integrity or protective zinc coating. Always try to select the appropriate size plate for your project.

Screws in the No. 6 to No. 8 range are generally suitable, with a length long enough to secure the plate firmly without piercing the reverse side of the wood.
