Key Specifications

Panel Thickness15-18 mm
Housing / Bore15 mm cam housing
Bolt / Dowel Size10 x 40 mm dowel
Joint TypeRight-angle cabinet joint
MaterialBeech wood dowel
Assembly ToolPress-fit plus screw fixing

Values are configurable for OEM/ODM orders and confirmed on your datasheet.

Selection Factors

  • Knock-down (KD) assembly and whether it must be re-openable
  • Cam lock + dowel systems vs bolt-and-barrel-nut joints
  • Panel thickness and the matching drilling pattern
  • Drilling diameter and depth for the cam housing and dowel
  • Joint strength and how many times it will be assembled
  • Flat-pack / RTA packaging and tool-free or single-tool assembly

Installation Notes

Bore the cam housing and dowel holes to the system pattern, press in the dowels, insert the cam bolt, drop the cam, and turn a quarter-to-half turn to draw the joint tight. Drilling accuracy is what makes the joint flush.
