- Secret_fixings abstract "Secretly fixing one thing to another can be achieved in many ways. Crudely nailing one piece of wood to another is obviously not a secret fixing and neither is it easy to separate the two halves. Gluing the two parts together can be a secret fixing but again there is no easy way to separate them. It is a common need to apply one thing to another, to have those two parts attached firmly and to be able to separate them relatively easily as required. For example, a hook and loop fixing frequently found on children's shoes or trainers is relatively secret depending on what stitching is visible from the outside face. In woodwork, a split batten is sometimes used to hang timber panels or cupboards on the wall. the batten is cut along its length at an angle such that when fixed to the wall the bottom part forms a recess in which the top half of the batten fixed to the panel to be hung can fit into it. Some vendors supply an aluminium version of this frequently referred to as Z plates or hockey stick section. Typically, this kind of fixing can slide from left to right and has no positive vertical registration. Steel finger plates are another method of secretly fixing panels. These were invented in the 1950s and consist of two identical plates usually with four countersink screw holes in each part. There is some debate as to how these are best used; some joiners mate them finger to finger whilst others allow the finger of the top plate to catch behind the open void of the other plate. They are quite strong but they require eight screws to fix a pair, the countersunk holes are not usually deep enough for the screws so the heads clash and aligning them blind from the outside of the panel can be frustrating.There are several kinds of plastic secret fixings. The most common versions are made from polycarbonate plastic and require careful marking out to align them when fitting. Polycarbonate can suffer from environmental stress cracking. Some fixings are designed for light weight panels specifically suited for the aviation and nautical industries. Versions of these fixings can be face bonded into place. They are typically fixed by direct pressure therefore pull out by direct pull which makes them load bearing only at a right angle to the direction of connection. Newer fixings such as Button-fix are made from glass filled nylon and are much stronger and able to support far greater loads by using a drop down type of fixing which both clicks and positively locates. These fixing are easier to mark out as they use a marker tool similar to woodworkers' dowel pins, and are designed to mate very easily thus making blind fitting less frustrating for the fitter.".
