Face Mount Knife Plate - (KP101)
KP101 Custom Hidden Face Mount Knife Plate Brackets – Invisible Strength for Clean Timber Connections
For timber-frame and log projects that demand strong, seamless connections, the KP101 face mount knife plate delivers the perfect balance of hidden engineering and effortless installation. This custom steel knife plate mounts posts, joists, beams, or rafters directly to a wall, face, or supporting timber—tucking completely out of sight so you see only the natural beauty of your wood. Whether you’re building a pergola, roof structure, angled brace, or full timber-frame home, the KP101 ensures a flawless, professional finish with rock-solid performance underneath.
Why Choose the KP101 Hidden Face Mount Knife Plate
Provide your timber or round log dimensions. We laser-cut and prepare each KP101 so it fits perfectly into position. Once installed with structural fasteners, the bracket vanishes, leaving only the beautiful intersection of your timbers. No exposed plates or bulky hardware—just strong, invisible support.Custom Options
While competitors offer basic or visible knife plates, the KP101 gives you true custom hidden performance with premium USA fabrication and finishes. Every piece is verified with a CAD drawing before production for perfect results.
- Fully Concealed Design — The plate slides into a matching slot or mounts flat against the face, hiding all metal. Clean, elegant timber lines from every angle.
- True Custom Fabrication — Made to your exact post/log diameter or timber dimensions, and hole size. Perfect fit every time—no gaps or adjustments.
- Heavy-Duty American Steel — Fabricated in Superior, Wisconsin from thick USA steel (1/8" to 1/2"+ options). Powder-coated for lifelong weather resistance against rain, snow, UV, and coastal conditions.
- Super-Easy Installation — Pre-drilled holes and precise sizing make mounting posts or angled timbers quick and secure—even for DIY or complex framing.
