Cross Shaped Mending Plate Metal Products Furniture Part Angle Bracket

A cross shaped mending plate is the part of a hinge, handle or latch that mounts the hardware to a cabinet. Mounting plates make it easier to attach doors to frames. A mounting plate is the portion of a hinge that attaches to the wood. Mounting plates can be used in doors, cabinetry, and furniture. They can also make it easier to assemble drawer slides. Mounting plates are available in a variety of sizes and finishes to ensure that each project has suitable hardware. The size of the mounting plate affects the door overlay, so carpenters must be careful to choose the correct hinges for their projects. Incorrect sizes may cause gaps or overlapping doors. There are also mounting plates on the market that are designed to be hidden from view, which can enhance the appearance of cabinetry. Some types of hidden hinges are installed inside the cabinet, while others are inlayed for a flush fit. Ever Hardware provides custom-made fasteners and customizable packaging.
Zinc coatings prevent oxidation of the cross-shaped mending plate by forming a barrier and by acting as a sacrificial anode if this barrier is damaged. Zinc oxide is a fine white dust that (in contrast to iron oxide) does not cause a breakdown of the substrate’s surface integrity as it is formed. Indeed, the zinc oxide, if undisturbed, can act as a barrier to further oxidation, in a way similar to the protection afforded to aluminum and stainless steels by their oxide layers. The majority of hardware parts are zinc-plated, rather than cadmium-plated.
