Furniture Connectors and Knock Down Fittings · Application

Wooden Dowel for Flat Pack Furniture

Overview

For this application, wooden dowel is specified for knock-down assembly, repeatable installation, and packaging efficiency. It must handle the typical demands of flat pack furniture while matching the surrounding furniture finish.

See the full Wooden Dowel page for all sizes, materials, finishes, and specifications.

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.
