KLICK Dovetail Connector

KLICK – Dovetail Connector

The KLICK dovetail connector is a double dovetail, snap-in connector designed for smaller components such as mouldings and trims. It fits into dovetail grooves cut in both joining components, creating a secure, concealed connection without visible fasteners.

For projects without a routed groove, the KLICKpro adapter can be installed with nails, staples, or screws, providing a compatible mounting solution for both KLICK and sKLICK. Grooves are 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 durable, UV- and weather-resistant PA6 plastic, KLICK connectors are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Their self-tightening design eliminates the need for clamps or glue, reduces labor, and helps maintain clean, seamless finishes without nail holes or surface damage.

Features and Benefits

• Quick assembly – components snap together in seconds

• Concealed connection – no visible fasteners in the finished workpiece

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

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

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

• Demountable – can be re-assembled if needed

• Weather-resistant for indoor and outdoor use

• Reduces labor compared to traditional nailing or screwing

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

• Window and door casings

• Face frames

• Case goods and cabinetry

• Architectural millwork

• Shopfitting projects

• Furniture and interior fittings

• Clamping aid for glued joints

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

• Coating: None

• Connector Type: Snap-in dovetail connector

• Mounting: Clips into dovetail grooves in both components

• Installation: Use a plunge router or CNC with the KLICK Dovetail Router Bit to cut dovetail grooves; alternatively, use the KLICKpro adapter in dado or rabbet applications

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

• Advantages: Concealed, self-tightening, demountable connector; works at angles from 0–90°; UV- and weather-resistant for indoor and outdoor applications

Steps

1. Cut dovetail grooves in both workpieces using the KLICK Dovetail Router Bit (K048/F).

2. Press the KLICK connector into the groove.

3. Align and assemble the opposing workpiece by snapping it into place with a rubber mallet.

Tips

• The KLICK is designed to pull itself deeper into the dovetail groove, making it self-tightening.

• 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).
