Window and Door Manufacturing

The DUO Hook Connector is commonly used in window and door manufacturing to attach components by simply hooking them together. With window frame fasteners, you can slide your window frames together in one easy step without having to screw through the inside of your window jamb. Likewise, because of its shallow profile, you can also use the DUO to attach door panels into place without the use of screwing or nailing through the face. They’re completely concealed and give you a beautiful look without any visible window or door frame fastener parts.

The DUO consists of two identical round shaped steel brackets that hook into each other in a dovetail-like manner. First, install your connectors to the components and then simply slide them into place. The DUO 35 fastener is installed to the component with Euro-screws. They are ideal for the industrial use with a CNC and especially suited to attach and mount windows on site.

The UNO 30 connector set consists of a round stainless steel bracket with a V-shaped receiver socket and a CS-screw, including a washer. Easy and fast assembly is guaranteed, as the generously V-shaped receiver socket receives the CS-screw head when mounted. Optionally, a locking clip made out of spring steel can be added to latch the connector. Because of the bracket’s round shape, it can be easily fitted into a 30 mm round x 7mm deep rebate. As the CS-screw is mounted to the component, the washer is there to perfectly set it to the right height to fit perfectly in the bracket, while still giving the ability to adjust in order to compensate any differences in dimensions. Apart from its use in window and door manufacturing, the UNO 30 can be used for applications such as interior wall panels, baseboards, moldings, handrails and much more.

The QUICK-SET is a simple and efficient 2-part Locking Dowel connector including a threaded stud and a plastic sleeve. It comes in ∅ 5 mm x 7.5 mm, ∅ 5 mm x 11 mm, ∅ 8 mm x 8 mm, and ∅ 8 mm x 26 mm. The plastic sleeve remains ∅ 8 mm x 31-32- mm in length for all versions. The metal stud, however, can be used on flat surfaces with a material thickness between 1/2″ (12.7 mm) and greater. With 4 sizes available you will be sure to find the perfect diameter and length you need for your application.

Like the KNAPP-Dowel, the QUICK-SET is self-tightening, non-visible, and can be inserted immediately into standard boreholes without waiting for glue to dry. You can install cabinets and case goods on-site quickly and easily, thus high transport costs are omitted. The processing of the two-piece connector is the same as with a conventional dowel – but in a much shorter time. In addition to its main area of application as a modern case goods connector, you can also use the QUICK-SET for drawer boxes. Used as a gluing aid in window and door manufacturing, the QUICK-SET can considerably facilitate the installation of stiles and rails without having to clamp your workpiece or wait for glue to dry.

The KLICK is one of our concealed window and door connectors used to snap-in components with small dimensions, such as trims and moldings. After you’ve made your route, you can simply snap the KLICK into the custom dovetail groove. Because two dovetail routes must be made, the KLICK is commonly used where most pre-manufacturing can be done in the shop. You can combine the KLICK with the KLICKpro, making a firm connection by utilizing one dovetail route and a 12 mm groove. Use our KLICK System to take the place of unsightly nail and screw holes while maintaining a beautiful finished look. If you do more on-site applications, try our sKLICK Dovetail Connector.

The sKLICK is a hidden connector used to snap on trims and moldings with small dimensions. It is highly used in window and door manufacturing applications. The sKLICK is screwed on the face or edge of the component and simply snaps into a custom dovetail groove. The route is made with our KLICK Dovetail Router Bit. You can pre-route the dovtail profile in your shop while the sKLICK connectors can be screwed onto the components on-site. Because it can be screwed in on one side, it finds its use in many on-site applications. This also allows for on-site precision and adjustments to be made if necessary. The sKLICK is a fully self-tightening connector for window and door trim applications without any visible fastener parts.

KLICKpro is an adaptor with a dovetail groove for inserting both the KLICK and sKLICK connectors. You can snap the KLICK into a dovetail route on one side and snap it into the KLICKpro on the opposing side. Likewise, you can screw the sKLICK onto one component and snap the other side into the KLICKpro. When using the KLICKpro plastic dovetail receiver, the connection is stronger, therefore, you can assemble and disassemble the connection as many times as needed without any tear out of the wood. Mount the KLICKpro into a 12 mm wide groove or rabbet and carry out the installation by screwing, nailing or gluing. It can also be pressure fitted into the 12 mm groove, although gluing is recommend to ensure a long lasting connection.

The FIXClip is a glass pane and glazing bead connector for window and door manufacturing. They are made of plastic and are completely concealed after you install them. With the FIXclip, you can simply fix glass panes, moldings, and trims without damaging the components like it would happen with conventional nailing or screwing. You can use the FIXclip connector for wood windows and wood-aluminum windows, as well as fixed glazing. The connector is available in two sizes, H16 and H20 (H12 per request).

Features and Benefits:

• Perfect look – No visible fasteners.
• Fast – Reduces labor and effective production process guaranteed.
• Fastening – by nailing or screwing of the connector.
• Non-visible – Concealed mounting of the glass pane and glazing bead.
• You can disassemble without damaging the pane.
• Tested – for wind load C5 (EN 12210) and shock resistance class 3 (EN 13049).
• For glazing beads, moldings made of timber and/or plastic.
