The Timco Nail Plate is designed for professional carpenters, joiners, and DIY enthusiasts who require a robust, low-profile solution for joining or repairing timber. Its primary benefit is the combination of high structural rigidity via strengthening ribs and a flush-finish design, though users should note that the steel construction requires proper coating or indoor placement to prevent surface oxidation in extreme outdoor weather conditions. These plates provide a reliable method for securing studwork, general framing, and reinforcing weakened timber joints.

Each plate measures 104mm by 154mm with a thickness of 1mm.
Each plate contains 35 nail holes, each with a diameter of 3.75mm.
While the steel is durable, it is best suited for indoor framing. For outdoor use, ensure the plates are adequately treated or painted to prevent rust.
No, nails are not included; you will need to purchase 3.75mm compatible nails separately.
While the steel is strong, it can be cut with appropriate metal-cutting tools; however, this may compromise the rigidity provided by the strengthening ribs.
Verify that you are using nails with a head size compatible with the 3.75mm countersunk holes. Ensure the nail is driven straight and fully seated.
Pre-drill smaller pilot holes into the timber if the wood is particularly dense or prone to splitting, especially near the edges.
To install, position the plate centrally over the timber junction. Use the pre-pressed holes to hammer in appropriately sized ring shank nails, ensuring each one is driven home until it sits flush within the countersunk recess. For maximum joint strength, always use all 35 holes provided. If working in areas prone to condensation or humidity, it is recommended to apply a suitable anti-corrosion spray or primer to the steel surface after installation. Keep the plates stored in a dry location prior to use to maintain the silver finish and prevent pre-installation rust.
