miniKLICK – Dovetail Connector

miniKLICK – Dovetail Connector

The miniKLICK is a 2-piece snap-in dovetail connector designed for components with small dimensions, such as door and window stops, trims, and mouldings. Its compact, patented design makes it especially useful where traditional nails would risk splitting the material or leave visible holes.

Installed with KNAPP-Adhesive PU+ into a small kerf cut with the KNAPP Grooving Saw Blade, the miniKLICK provides fast, clean, and secure assembly. Made of fiberglass-reinforced, UV- and weather-resistant PA6 plastic, it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. The connector is self-tightening, concealed, and can be disassembled when needed.

Features and Benefits

• Fast assembly – snaps together in seconds

• Concealed connection – eliminates nail holes and surface damage

• Self-tightening – no clamps required during assembly

• Versatile – ideal for small-dimension components

• Durable – reinforced PA6 plastic is UV- and weather-resistant

• Demountable – joints can be taken apart if required

• Saves labor – reduces finishing time and prevents splitting from nails

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

• Window and door stops and casings

• Face frames

• Case goods and cabinetry

• Architectural millwork

• Shopfitting projects

• Clamping aid for glued joints

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

• Coating: None

• Connector Type: 2-part snap-in dovetail connector

• Mounting: Glued into a pre-cut groove with KNAPP-Adhesive PU+

• Installation: Cut kerf with spindle moulder and miniKLICK Grooving Saw Blade (2.2–6 × 120 mm, Ø 30 bore)

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

• Advantages: Concealed, self-tightening, demountable connector; compact design for small decorative components

Steps

1. Cut a kerf in both sides of the workpiece using a spindle moulder with the miniKLICK Grooving Saw Blade (Z065).

2. Apply a small amount of KNAPP PU+ Adhesive (Z011) into the groove.

3. Insert each half of the miniKLICK connector into the kerf.

4. Allow adhesive to cure for 60 minutes before assembling the components.

Tips

• Use a putty knife to apply pressure when inserting the miniKLICK to ensure the connector is fully seated in the groove.
