Products By Lockdowel
Lockdowel was created to improve the speed and ease of the assembly process using an innovative method that eliminated the need for using traditional dowels, glue, clamps, and special tools. If you have a CNC router and edge boring capability, you’re ready for Lockdowel fasteners! Keyhole slots are routed into your panels and the Channel Locks slide into place easily and accurately. The panels can then be assembled in your shop, or on-site for installation. We offer connectors that meet all of your types and thicknesses, and all are tested and approved to industry standards.
Lockdowel-ready panels can be flat-packed for lower cost shipping, and reduced warehouse space when storing, and the resulting finished joints are more accurate, stronger, and faster to assemble. Lockdowel connectors are used in cabinetry, closets, furniture, wall panels, and many other applications. They have now been used in over one million cabinets and are changing the processes throughout the woodworking industry for superior efficiency.
Our array of products includes EClips fasteners, metal snap fasteners, drawer slides, hinges, plastic cinch pins, hinges, spring pins and router bits. Check out our Online Catalog for details on all of our products.
Channel Lock Fasteners
The Channel Lock system is the most popular option as it uses only one fastener per joint and results in the fastest assembly in the industry! Select your connector based on the panel thickness and material you use..
Each Channel Lock provides over 100 lbs. of pull force and accommodate various thickness from 12mm and up. Lockdowel is also the ideal solution for flat-packing RTA and KD jobs efficiently, and on-site disassembly is no problem for rework or replacement of damaged parts. Channel Locks are versatile to use when constructing cabinetry, closet systems, furniture, and much more.
Channel Locks come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
H-Clip Fasteners
The H-Clip system is constructed with spring pins on every joint in a one-to-one ratio. This method provides the simplest form of assembly by just snapping together, and cannot be pulled apart or disassembled. As with all Lockdowel fasteners, the connections are invisible after assembly, and no tools, glue, clamping, drying or clean up is needed. H-Clips can be used when constructing cabinetry, closet systems, furniture, and much more.

10 x 8 Fasteners
Our 10×8 snap fasteners offer a secure connection for many applications. They’re also ideal for applying wall panels directly to your backers without requiring a reveal between the panels.

Once snapped together, they are permanently joined without the need for glue. Ease of installation and quality of strength over time make this type of fastener ideal for wall panels.

They are perfect for particle board, MDF, and plywood. They offer a secure joint in RTA assembly, lightweight casegoods, and outdoor assembly applications with no worry of rusting.
Pull Strength Data for Connectors
It’s important to consider pull strength when selecting fasteners for your projects to ensure they can withstand the amount of force you will need. Lockdowel’s fasteners have been tested to calculate standard average measurements you can reference when selecting our hardware. The charts below reflect average pull strength when using fasteners in plywood and particleboard. Keep in mind that our plastic hardware is a great choice for use in outdoor settings as they don’t rust.
