Corrugated Fasteners

In picture frame manufacture and timber joinery, a corrugated fastener provides a quick, strong, and nearly invisible way to reinforce a mitre joint or butt joint without additional hardware. At the DIY Hardware Store, our corrugated fasteners - also known as corrugated staples or wiggle nails - are available for the applications where these simple pressed-steel fixings are the most efficient joint reinforcement method available.

A corrugated fastener is a small section of corrugated steel with a serrated leading edge, driven across a timber joint perpendicular to the glue line. As it enters both pieces simultaneously, the corrugations lock into the timber fibres and resist any tendency for the joint to open. They're the standard reinforcement for picture frame mitre joints, for joining timber rails to panels, and for temporary holding while glue cures on butt joints.
