How many plates are in a pack?

What type of joints are these plates best suited for?

Do I need special tools to install them?

Troubleshooting

Plate does not sit flush

Ensure the wood surfaces are flat and free from debris. Check if any existing fasteners are obstructing the plate's placement.

Screws are not holding firmly

Use screws appropriate for the wood type and thickness. If screwing into softwood, consider pilot holes or slightly larger diameter screws. Ensure screws are long enough to penetrate sufficiently into the wood.

Joint feels less stable than expected

Verify that the correct number of screws have been used for the plate's holes. Ensure all screws are tightened properly. Consider if additional bracing or a larger plate might be required for the specific load.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:
