Knuckle Nail Plate for Timber Joinery and Framing Applications
Knuckle nail plates are reliable metal connectors used to reinforce structural timber joints in residential, commercial, and modular construction. Each plate features sharp, knuckle-shaped teeth that grip deeply into wood, forming strong, permanent connections without requiring additional fasteners. These plates are essential in high-load wooden structures such as roof trusses, beams, and wall assemblies.
Crafted from galvanized or stainless steel, knuckle nail plates resist corrosion even in outdoor environments. Their wide surface area allows for even load distribution, minimizing stress and maximizing structural integrity. These plates are especially useful in prefabricated wood framing and panelized construction.
Our knuckle nail plates come in standard thicknesses of 1.0mm to 1.5mm, and we offer OEM customization for size, hole patterns, and branding. Installation is fast and straightforward—just press or hammer the plate into the timber. It’s a cost-effective, tool-free solution ideal for production efficiency and on-site use.
