The QUICK-SET is a simple and efficient cabinet connector based on dowels. Two versions are available with a 5 mm and an 8 mm thread. The 8 mm plastic dowel remains the same for both versions and the thread length is 7.5 mm for both versions. This means that the QUICK-SET can be used in the 5 mm shelf support holes and in the 8 mm dowel holes. It can also be used for center panels with a material thickness of 16 mm or more.
The QUICK-SET is self-tightening and is not visibly mounted. The two-part connector is processed in the same way as a conventional dowel – but in a much shorter time. The QUICK-SET can be loaded immediately and used in standard drill holes.
Features and Benefits:
- Invisible
- Concealed, self-tightening cabinet(carcass) connector
- Efficient
- High degree of prefabrication
- Easy transport
- cabinet(carcass) elements can be transported in individual parts. Final assembly is possible on site
- Industrial
- Ideal for CNC machining centres
Tips:
- The thread length of the screw bolt is 7.5 mm. This makes the connector suitable for vertical centre units (from 16 mm material thickness) in cabinet construction to run a Ø 5 mm hole through and screw in the screw bolt on both sides. This allows shelves to be mounted on one level, for example.
Fabrication:
For the 5 mm bolt, the holes must be drilled once with 5 mm and once with 8 mm and for the 8 mm bolt, an 8 mm hole can be drilled on both sides.
The drilling depth for the plastic dowel should be 31 – 32 mm. This ensures an optimal tightening of the steel bolt down to the base of the dowel when joining. This prevents the formation of a „hairline joint“. The plastic dowel is inserted loosely into the drilled hole without any glue.
After preparing the two components, the carcase or furniture parts are joined together with light pressure. We recommend distributing 5 to 6 pieces of QUICK-SET over a length of 600 mm.
Can be used with an automatic dowel machine, CNC machining centre or dowel drill
