sKLICK Dovetail Connector

sKLICK – Dovetail Connector

The sKLICK is a single dovetail connector designed for fast, concealed snap-in assembly of mouldings, trims, and more. Simply attach the connector with the included 3×13 mm pan head screw, and it locks securely into a dovetail groove cut on the adjoining piece. For applications without a routed groove, the optional KLICKpro adapter can be attached with nails, staples, or screws.

The dovetail groove is cut using the custom KLICK Dovetail Router Bit, available in 1/4″, 1/2″, and 8 mm shank sizes, ensuring a precise fit. Made of UV- and weather-resistant PA6 plastic, the sKLICK is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Its self-tightening design eliminates the need for clamps or glue, reduces labor, and preserves the finished surface by keeping it free of visible fasteners.

Features and Benefits

• Quick assembly – components snap together in seconds

• Concealed connection – no nail holes in the finished surface

• Self-tightening – pulls into the groove without clamping or glue

• Durable – fiberglass-reinforced PA6 plastic withstands up to 300℉

• Demountable – can be re-assembled if needed

• Works with components as thin as 3/8″ (9.5 mm)

• UV- and weather-resistant for indoor and outdoor use

• Reduces labor and equipment costs compared to nails or screws

• Mouldings and trims (light rail, crown, toe kicks)

• Window and door casings

• Face frames and chair rails

• Case goods and cabinetry

• Architectural millwork

• Shopfitting projects

• Clamping aid for glued joints

• Material: Plastic (PA6, dark brown, fiberglass-reinforced)

• Coating: None

• Connector Type: Snap-in dovetail connector for screw mounting

• Mounting: Attach with included 3×13 mm pan head screws; can also be mounted with KNAPP-Adhesive PU+

• Installation: Cut a dovetail groove using a plunge router or CNC with the original KLICK Dovetail Router Bit; can also be used without a groove in combination with the KLICKpro adapter

• Suitable Materials: Solid wood, plywood, composite panels, laminates, MDF, HDF

• Advantages: Concealed, self-tightening, demountable connector for 0–90° angles; durable and weather-resistant for both interior and exterior use

Steps

1. Cut a dovetail groove in the workpiece using the KLICK Dovetail Router Bit (K048/F).

2. Fasten the sKLICK connector to the opposing component with the included 3×13 mm pan head screw.

3. Align the workpieces and snap the sKLICK connector into the groove using a rubber mallet.

Tips

• Scoring a line or pre-drilling simplifies installation.

• The sKLICK pulls itself deeper into the dovetail groove for a secure, self-tightening fit.

• Use one connector every 8–10 inches (200–250 mm) or as needed for maximum holding strength.

Note for CNC Machining

• For easier processing, pre-cut a 4 mm kerf before routing the dovetail groove with the KLICK Dovetail Router Bit (K048/F).
