KYA 15 Gauge 34 Degree DA57 Finish Nails are angled strip finish nails with a 57mm / 2-1/4 inch length for compatible 15GA DA-style finish nailers. The DA57 size is designed for professional finish carpentry applications including crown molding, baseboards, door and window casings, cabinetry, furniture and other trim work.
The current KYA DA Series specification uses a 3.1mm head width, 1.76mm shank width, chisel point and 34° angled strip collation. Galvanized steel and 304 stainless steel options are listed within the DA Series for different corrosion-resistance requirements.
Each DA57 strip contains 100 nails, with 4,000 nails per box. The 57mm length provides deeper penetration than DA45 or DA50 sizes and is commonly selected for thicker trim, molding and finish-wood assemblies where the receiving material can accommodate the longer fastener.

Request DA57 Finish Nail Pricing
A 15 gauge finish nail has a heavier cross-section than thinner 16GA or 18GA finish fasteners. This makes 15GA nails suitable for trim, molding, cabinetry and other finish-carpentry applications where greater holding strength is required and the material can accept the larger fastener.
The angled magazine format helps a compatible finish nailer reach corners and confined positions encountered around door casings, window trim, cabinetry and molding. The featured DA57 belongs to the standard 34° DA-style angled finish nail family.
At 57mm / 2-1/4 inches long, DA57 provides greater available penetration than 45mm or 50mm DA nails. The correct length should still be selected according to trim thickness, substrate thickness and the depth accepted by the nailer.
The DA Series uses a chisel point for controlled penetration into suitable wood. Correct nail orientation, tool pressure and material selection help reduce the risk of splitting or nail deflection during finish work.
The approximately 3.1mm head provides greater bearing area than a small brad while remaining suitable for finish applications where the driven head can be set below or close to the wood surface according to the nailer adjustment and finishing requirement.
The 2-1/4 inch length can provide useful penetration for thicker crown molding and decorative profiles when the substrate and installation design suit a 15GA finish nail.
DA57 nails can be used for substantial baseboard and skirting installations where the longer nail is required to pass through the trim and securely engage the framing or suitable backing material.
Angled 15GA finish nailers are commonly used around door and window casings because the angled magazine improves access near corners while the heavier finish nail provides secure fastening for thicker trim.
The DA57 can be used in appropriate cabinet face frames, built-in cabinetry and related woodworking where 57mm penetration is required and the material thickness permits a 15GA fastener.
Furniture manufacturers and woodworking shops can use 15GA DA finish nails for suitable frames, decorative components and assemblies where stronger fastening is required than a fine brad can provide.
Longer 15GA finish nails can be useful for selected stair trim, decorative strips and substantial finish components. Nail length and corrosion resistance must be selected according to the specific installation.
| Item | Length | Nails / Stick | Nails / Box | Boxes / Carton | Cartons / Pallet |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DA/25 | 25mm / 1" | 100 | 4,000 | 4 | 120 |
| DA/32 | 32mm / 1-1/4" | 100 | 4,000 | 4 | 120 |
| DA/38 | 38mm / 1-1/2" | 100 | 4,000 | 4 | 90 |
| DA/45 | 45mm / 1-3/4" | 100 | 4,000 | 4 | 80 |
| DA/50 | 50mm / 2" | 100 | 4,000 | 4 | 60 |
| DA/57 | 57mm / 2-1/4" | 100 | 4,000 | 4 | 60 |
| DA/64 | 64mm / 2-1/2" | 100 | 4,000 | 4 | 60 |
Finish nail length should be selected according to the thickness of the trim or workpiece and the penetration required in the receiving material. A longer nail is not automatically better because excessive length can increase the risk of nail deflection or breakthrough.
| Length Range | General Selection Consideration |
|---|---|
| 25–38mm / 1"–1-1/2" | Light trim, smaller molding and thinner finish components |
| 45–50mm / 1-3/4"–2" | General trim, cabinetry, baseboards and medium-thickness finish components |
| 57mm / 2-1/4" | Thicker molding, casing, substantial trim and applications requiring deeper penetration |
| 64mm / 2-1/2" | Heavier trim assemblies where the nailer, workpiece and receiving material permit maximum DA Series length |
| Feature | 15 Gauge DA Finish Nail | 16 Gauge Finish Nail |
|---|---|---|
| Wire Size | Heavier | Thinner |
| Holding Requirement | Useful for heavier trim and molding where stronger fastening is required | Often selected for lighter finish work where a smaller fastener is preferred |
| Visible Hole | Generally larger | Generally smaller |
| Typical Applications | Crown molding, baseboard, casing, cabinetry and substantial trim | General trim, molding, paneling and lighter finish work |
| Shank | General Characteristic | Selection Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Smooth Shank | Straight shank supports clean driving and is common for finish carpentry | General trim, molding, casing and cabinetry |
| Ring Shank | Annular rings increase engagement with wood fibers | Selected applications requiring increased withdrawal resistance, particularly in softer wood |
KYA lists both smooth and ring-shank options in the wider DA Series. When ordering DA57, specify the required shank type rather than assuming both versions use the same product code.
| Material / Finish | General Use |
|---|---|
| Galvanized Steel | General indoor finish carpentry and protected applications where the specified zinc coating provides sufficient corrosion protection |
| 304 Stainless Steel | Moisture-sensitive and corrosion-sensitive applications where 304 stainless steel is appropriate for the service environment |
For exterior trim, coastal locations, treated lumber or other demanding environments, follow the project and material manufacturer's fastener requirements rather than selecting a finish solely by product name.
DA57 requires a nailer designed for 15 gauge 34° angled finish nails and capable of accepting a 2-1/4 inch fastener. Gauge and length alone are not sufficient; strip angle, head geometry, collation and magazine specification must also match.
