Panel Pins / Moulding Pins for Thin Timber Trim and Decorative Panels

Product Information

Panel Pins, also called Moulding Pins, are small flat-head nails commonly sold through UK and Australian DIY and hardware channels. They are intended for fixing thin timber mouldings, decorative panels, light trim and small woodworking parts where a compact, controlled hand-driven fastener is needed.

Compared with fine brad nails, panel pins are generally a little thicker and have a small flat head that provides a more positive mechanical hold. The head remains small enough to be set just below the timber surface with a Nail Punch, allowing the recess to be filled and finished when a less visible fixing is preferred.

Use a Claw Hammer to drive the pin close to the surface, then finish with a Nail Punch to reduce the risk of hammer marks on the moulding or panel. Panel pins are for light trim and decorative woodworking; they are not suitable for structural framing, load-bearing joints, concrete or metal fastening.
