TUCK 10×28 – Spring Steel Compression Dowel

The TUCK 10×28 mm is a medium-length compression dowel designed for furniture and cabinetry where stronger anchoring is required compared to the shorter 10×16 mm version. Made of spring steel, it is immediately load-bearing and requires no glue or clamping.

This connector is screwable on one end, providing secure anchoring to part A, while the compression fit in part B ensures a durable, concealed connection. Its balance of size and strength makes it a versatile choice for drawer boxes, cabinetry, and shopfitting projects.

Steps

1. Screw one end of the TUCK 10×28 into part A.

2. Drill a 10 mm borehole to a depth of 28 mm in part B.

3. Insert the dowel and assemble the parts with a rubber mallet.

Tips

• Provides stronger anchoring than the 10×16 mm version while maintaining a compact profile.

• Assemble by striking from below rather than against a hard surface to take advantage of the material’s natural suspension.

• For large components, use a clamping aid if necessary.

• Glue may be added, but the connection is immediately load-bearing without waiting for curing.
