FAQs

What materials can I attach this bracket to?

The bracket can be attached to wood, engineered wood products, and certain types of composite materials using appropriate wood screws. For metal applications, use suitable bolts and nuts.

Are screws or bolts included with the bracket?

No, screws or bolts are not included. You will need to select fasteners appropriate for the materials you are joining and the required strength of the connection.

What is the purpose of the hot-dip galvanized finish?

The hot-dip galvanized finish provides a protective layer that significantly enhances the bracket's resistance to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Can this bracket be used for right-angle (90-degree) corners?

No, this bracket is specifically designed for obtuse angles, meaning corners greater than 90 degrees, with a fixed 45-degree slope.

What does 'obtuse angle bracket' mean?

An obtuse angle is an angle greater than 90 degrees. This bracket is shaped to reinforce corners where the two surfaces meet at an angle larger than a right angle.

How do I determine if this 58 x 75 mm size is appropriate?

Consider the size of the joint you need to reinforce and the available space. The 58 x 75 mm dimensions offer a balance of support and compactness, suitable for many furniture, shelving, and structural applications.

Troubleshooting

Bracket does not sit flush against surfaces.

Ensure the surfaces being joined are flat and properly aligned. Check for any debris or obstructions. The bracket is designed for a 45-degree angle; ensure this is the correct angle for your joint.

Fasteners are not holding securely.

Verify that the correct type and size of fasteners are being used for the materials. Ensure the holes in the bracket are adequate for your chosen fasteners. For softer materials, consider using pilot holes or anchors.

Corrosion or rust appearing.

While hot-dip galvanized, extreme or prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals can affect the finish. Clean any affected areas gently and consider applying a compatible metal paint or sealant if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides strong and stable structural support for corner joints.
  • Hot-dip galvanized finish offers excellent corrosion resistance.
  • Compact size is suitable for applications with limited space.
  • Easy to install with pre-drilled holes.
  • Durable steel construction ensures longevity.

Cons

  • Fixed 45-degree angle limits use to obtuse corner applications.
  • Requires appropriate fasteners (screws/bolts) not included.
  • Silver color may not blend with all project aesthetics.
  • Not designed for extremely heavy load-bearing applications without additional reinforcement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install the Unifix Obtuse Angle Bracket, align the bracket with the desired corner joint. Use appropriate screws or bolts (not included) through the two pre-drilled holes to secure the bracket to the materials. Ensure fasteners are suitable for the materials being joined (e.g., wood screws for timber, appropriate bolts for metal).

Compatibility: This bracket is compatible with most wood, composite, and some metal materials when used with the correct fasteners. It is specifically designed for 45-degree obtuse angle joints.

Care: The hot-dip galvanized finish provides inherent corrosion resistance. To maintain its appearance and integrity, avoid abrasive cleaners. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Periodically check fastened screws or bolts for tightness.
