Sleeve Nut

Overview

Sleeve Nut is a knock-down furniture connector that joins panels for flat-pack and RTA furniture, giving a strong, tool-light joint with a consistent drilling pattern. The notes below cover construction, selection factors, sizes, materials, finishes, application fit, and installation for OEM production.

Key Specifications

Specifications are configurable for OEM/ODM orders. Exact values are confirmed on the datasheet for your order.

How to Choose

• 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

Material Options

Zinc die-cast cams with steel bolts give strong, repeatable joints; nylon dowels and housings suit lighter RTA furniture. Metal cams handle repeated assembly better.

Finish Options

Connectors are hidden, so zinc plating for corrosion resistance is the norm; nickel or brown housings can blend with panel edges where visible.

Recommended for These Applications

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.

Buying Notes for OEM Orders

For flat-pack and RTA production, standardize one cam system and drilling pattern across SKUs, and supply pre-counted hardware packs per carton.
