Fast Balcony Knife Plate and Embed Mounting Kit

The Fast Balcony Knife Plate and Embed Mounting Kit is the structural connection package for bolt-on balcony installation: wall-side knife plates, matching embed hardware, and structural fasteners supplied as one per-balcony set. It is ordered by general contractors coordinating embed placement ahead of balcony delivery, and as replacement or add-on hardware on phased projects.

Each kit carries the knife plates for one balcony in 0.5 in stock A36 steel plate, powder coated to match the balcony finish, plus the embed plates or anchor hardware matched to the wall construction and the structural fasteners for the connection. Plate configuration follows the project connection design: seat, clevis, cantilever, and angle plate types cover bearing, tension, and small-frame conditions, and the plate schedule is matched to the balcony model during quote review. Embeds install with the structure using the released placement drawings, then the balcony lands on the plates and bolts through at set.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this kit included with a balcony order?
Balcony orders scope their mounting hardware during quote review, and on most projects the kit is coordinated with the balcony release. Order it separately when embeds must release early to the framing or concrete schedule, or when replacing hardware on a phased project.

Which plate configuration do I need?
The connection design sets the plate type: seat plates carry bearing for hoisted sets, clevis plates take tension and pair with rods, cantilever plates replace the pair on small frames, and angle plates serve small frames and guard posts. The schedule is confirmed to the balcony model during quote review.

What wall constructions are supported?
Embed and anchor hardware is matched to the wall type during quote review, including cast concrete, masonry, and framed walls with engineered blocking, with placement drawings in the released installation documents.
