Hello, and welcome to 80/20's Product Highlight Series. Today we're going take a look at the corner bracket. 80'20's corner brackets are not only easy to install but also require no machining. They come in fractional, metric, and are available across a wide range of profile series.
When using it, you have a choice. A corner bracket can be used as a stand alone fastening method, or to reinforce another fastening method. Here we can see a small sample of the corner brackets that 80/20 offers. As you can see, brackets come in a wide variety of shapes, and sizes. Making it one of the more versatile fastening methods that 80/20 offers. Now one thing you'll want to keep in mind when using the corner bracket, is you'll need bolt assemblies to install it. Recommended bolt assemblies for all corner brackets, can be found in the 80/20 product catalog.
Now when it comes to installing your corner bracket, the first thing you're going to want do is preload your hardware. Preloading not only makes it easier to install your corner bracket, but also saves time during assembly. To save additional time and money, you'll want to look for opportunities to substitute out your single T-nut for a double, or a triple T-nut like in this example. Now to get started we'll take our corner bracket, with the preloaded hardware on it, put one last bolt and one last T-nut on it. Now when installing the T-nut it's important to know to face the pilot hole downwards, away from the bracket.
Once we have the preloaded on there, we'll take our first bar, and slide the bracket right onto it. Once we have that set on there, we'll take our other bar, and slide it right onto the bracket. Once you have it set where you want it, we'll take our wrench and tighten down. Once you have that tightened down, you have a strong, secure connection. Now hopefully you found this segment on the corner bracket helpful. For more information, visit 8020.net and make sure to subscribe to future 80/20 videos. And as always, make it a great day.

Would be helpful to provide a source on how to determine when a load necessitates a standard vs gusseted corner bracket.
Hi Armando. We have a fastener application test in our catalog that you might find useful: catalogs.8020.net/80-20-Inc-Catalog-23/62/
Is this the bracket you would use to attach a profile to a wall? Thanks.
Hi, I have selected 40-4040 T-slotted profile, so which size nut can I use in that for corner joint?
Depth of the nut shoulder should be considered for this selection or not. Can you please help me
Thanks for the question. A standard Slide-In Economy T-nut, part# 40-1961, is what we recommend for 40 series corner brackets. Bolt size varies depending on profile series and corner bracket style. When selecting a corner bracket style, be sure to check out the "Suggested Hardware" section in the catalog, or online, to ensure you have compatible hardware for your fastener.
Thanks for the information 👍
I'm using 30 x 30mm 80-20 but struggling to fit the spanner into the corner brackets to do up both nuts. Do you have any suggestions?
Our suggestion would be to either use socket head cap screws, or contact our Tech Support team to help figure out a solution unique to your project. The easiest ways to contact us are here: 8020.net/contact-us
What is the reason to face the pilot hole away from it? Would it not just sit in the track between the pieces and prevent any motion?
Hi, Lee - thank you for reaching out. When using the 1/4-20 or M6 t-nuts with the 10 and 25 series, the "coin" will instantly wedge into the t-slot and prevent removal or movement of the t-nut. The 5/16-18 and M8 t-nuts with the 15, 30, and 40 series will usually wedge into the t-slot when the 2 degree drop lock is engaged on the extrusion.
Do you have a distributor in Texas?
We have a couple different distributors in Texas. Our distributor lookup tool can help point you towards the distributor that will best suit your needs. 8020.net/distributor-support
Do you only make 90° corner brackets
Thank you for asking! We currently have the 90 degree gusseted brackets, but we do make angled joining plates for the 10, 15, and 40 series that would allow for other connection angles.
