Dowel Connectors 12
KNAPP dowel connectors provide fast, precise, and concealed joinery for furniture, cabinetry, and architectural woodworking. Designed for professional production and installation environments, these dowels deliver immediately load-bearing connections without the need for clamps, visible fasteners, or extended curing times.
This category includes self-tightening plastic dowels, two-part locking dowels, and spring steel compression dowels to support a wide range of assembly requirements. From lightweight case goods to high-load cabinetry and shopfitting, KNAPP dowel connectors ensure consistent alignment, strong holding power, and repeatable results in both manual and CNC-driven workflows.
Built for Speed, Accuracy, and Reliable Holding Power
KNAPP dowel connectors are engineered to lock securely into the borehole, creating tight joints that are immediately ready for handling or further assembly. Plastic dowels made from weather-resistant POM offer stable performance without swelling or shrinking, while steel compression dowels apply continuous pressure against the borehole wall for long-term stability in demanding applications.
Many systems are designed for automated dowel insertion and high-volume production, making them ideal for furniture manufacturing, cabinetry, and precision woodworking where efficiency and accuracy are critical.
