ZIPBOLT™ FASTFIT – One Piece Joint Connector

The Zipbolt FASTFIT is a next-generation one-piece, one-step connector designed for fast and efficient furniture and cabinet assembly. Incorporating Zipbolt’s patented gear drive technology, FASTFIT offers a simplified solution for knockdown construction and modern CNC-based manufacturing. Its innovative mechanism conceals the thread within the dowel section, which expands and anchors securely when tightened, creating a strong, self-tightening joint with minimal effort.

Key Features

• One-piece, one-step connector for quick and easy assembly

• Gear drive technology provides a secure, self-tightening hold

• Ideal for use with CNC routers and nesting-based equipment

• Concealed thread design for clean and reliable joints

• Saves production time and reduces manufacturing costs

• Case goods and modular furniture

• Closets and cabinetry

• RTA (ready-to-assemble) and KD (knockdown) furniture

• Architectural millwork and shopfitting

Steps

1. Pre-drill the Hole

   • Use a dowel hole drilling machine or CNC router to create a hole of the required diameter and depth.

   • Ensure the hole is clean and free from debris.

2. Insert the FASTFIT Connector

   • Drive the connector directly into the pre-drilled hole using a #2 Phillips screwdriver.

   • The unique gear drive system will automatically engage the thread and expand the dowel section for a tight fit.

3. Tighten and Secure

   • Continue driving until the connector is fully seated and snug within the hole.

   • The thread will anchor firmly into the material, forming a strong and concealed connection.

4. Final Check

   • Verify that the components are properly joined and aligned.

   • FASTFIT provides an immediate load-bearing connection without additional hardware or adhesives.

Tips

• Ideal for CNC-based furniture manufacturing and nesting production lines.

• Works with all wood and board materials, including composites.

• Do not overtighten to prevent stripping in softer materials.
