Panel pins

Panel pins are small, lightweight nails used for delicate joinery and trim work. They’re commonly used to fix mouldings, decorative beading, and light timber panels. In modern building practice, they’re chosen for internal applications where a discreet fixing is required. Their slim profile allows for minimal surface damage and reduced risk of splitting timber, making them suitable for visible finishes.

Available in a range of lengths and finishes, panel pins can be plain or galvanised to offer light corrosion resistance. Builders may choose pin nails or panel nails as alternatives, but panel pins offer a finer shank for cleaner detailing. Panelling pins with a slightly larger head are another variation, used when more holding strength is needed. Whether you're fitting skirting boards or assembling cabinets, panel pins are a reliable choice for neat, secure joins.
