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.
