Nails, Pins & Staples

Buy Nails, Pins & Staples Online

Nails, pins and staples are the quick fixings that either disappear neatly or ruin the finish. The wrong choice can split trim, leave proud heads, or work loose once the timber moves. Order nails online, pins online and staples online from Orion Supplies for the day to day fixing jobs where speed matters, but the result still needs to look right.

Choosing between nails, pins and staples

These fasteners do different jobs. Nails give general hold, pins keep trims tidy with a smaller head, and staples suit lightweight sheet and fixing where you want a wide bite. The best results come from matching the fastening type to the material, not forcing one size to cover everything.

Look for:

• the right shank style for the hold you need
• a head style that suits the finish you want on the face
• a length that bites into the base without punching through
• consistent pack sizes so you can keep the same few lines in stock

Panel pins for trims, beading and a neater finish

Panel pins are used when you want a small, unobtrusive fixing point on timber trims and mouldings. They are a common choice for door surrounds, architrave, coving and beading where you will fill and finish over the head.

They suit:

• lightweight trims and decorative timber
• fixing where you want minimal marking on the face
• jobs where a clean sand and fill finish is expected

Round head nails for general timber fixing

Round head nails are a straightforward option for general timber tasks where the head can sit on the face and you want a strong hold. They are useful for quick fixes and general joinery work where speed matters more than hiding the fixing point.

Good for:

• general timber to timber fixing
• repairs where a larger head helps clamp the material
• jobs where the fixing point is not a visual issue

Annular ring shank nails for extra grip

Ring shank nails are chosen when pull out is the problem. The profile grips harder than a smooth shank, which helps where timber movement and vibration can work standard nails loose over time.

Used for:

• fixings that need stronger bite in timber
• points that see movement and chatter
• areas where you would rather not be re nailing later

Staples for sheet fixing and quick, repeat fastening

Staples are a practical choice for lightweight sheet and quick fastening where a wider bite helps hold the material flat. They are commonly used with staple guns for repetitive work and small repairs.

They suit:

• fixing thin materials where a nail head would tear through
• quick, tidy fastening where speed and repeatability matter
• jobs where you want a broad hold without over driving

Quick checks for nails, pins and staples

A few checks keep the finish cleaner and cut down waste:

Timber type and edge distance
Harder timber and tight edges are more likely to split, so size and pilot habits matter.

Head visibility
Use panel pins where the fixing point needs to disappear. Use round head nails where clamping on the face is acceptable.

Grip requirement
If the fixing point is prone to pull out, use a shank style intended to resist movement.

Length choice
Aim for proper bite into the base material without breaking out on the far side.

Quantity planning
Standardise a small set of lengths so teams are not guessing on site.
