Connecting fittings for stairs
In staircase construction, stable and vibration-resistant connecting fittings are crucial to ensure the safety and durability of the staircase structure. These fittings are suitable for panel thicknesses of 15-32 mm and from 40 mm and offer very high stability, preventing lateral panel movement. The durable connections are particularly important, as stairs are exposed to heavy loads on a daily basis. Suitable drilling jigs as accessories enable precise installation. Connecting fittings are therefore indispensable for making stairs safe and permanently stable, which is a top priority in staircase construction.

What furniture connectors are available?
Furniture connectors are indispensable components for the construction of stable and durable furniture. There are different types of furniture connectors that can be selected depending on the application and requirements. Common connectors include internally drilled connectors, which are drilled into the material and create a clean, invisible connection. These connectors are particularly sustainable as they allow furniture to be dismantled and reassembled several times.
Another connection system is groove connectors, where connections are made through grooves in the panels. This method is also stable and less visible. Gluing is a traditional method in which the boards are joined with glue. This connection is durable and strong, but not easy to dismantle. Wooden dowels are cylindrical pieces of wood that are inserted into pre-drilled holes to join panels together. They provide a strong connection but are less flexible than drill-in fasteners.
Metal angles provide a simple and strong connection, but are often visible and less aesthetically pleasing. Minifix connectors are easy to install and offer good stability. They are often found in flat packs for self-assembly furniture.
The most sustainable furniture connectors with little effort are those for drilling in. They allow a high degree of flexibility as they can be used to disassemble and reassemble pieces of furniture several times. Several factors are important when choosing the right furniture connector for a project. Durability is crucial, as is the right panel thickness and high-quality material. The strength values must be able to withstand the loads to which the piece of furniture is subjected. A good connection system prevents the panels from moving sideways and has as few visible parts as possible so as not to detract from the aesthetics of the piece of furniture.
Furniture connectors, carcase connectors and connecting fittings are therefore essential elements that should be carefully selected to ensure the quality and durability of the furniture. The right connection not only ensures stability and strength, but also contributes to the overall durability and reusability of the furniture. It is important to find the appropriate joining system for each specific furniture project in order to achieve optimal results.
Precise installation of furniture connectors with drilling jigs
The precise installation of furniture connectors is crucial for the stability and durability of your furniture. With the right drilling jig, the installation of these connecting fittings is considerably simplified and optimised. Our drilling jigs are specially tailored to the requirements of our furniture connectors and are available in two versions: for the basic and professional range.
The drilling jigs in the basic range are ideal for DIY enthusiasts and hobby craftsmen who are looking for a simple yet precise way to install connecting fittings. These drilling jigs are user-friendly and enable even beginners to create professional and stable furniture joints. They ensure exact alignment and placement of the drill holes, minimising errors and ensuring high stability of the furniture joints.
For professional users, we offer drilling jigs in the professional range. These tools are designed for intensive use in workshops and for extensive furniture construction projects. The professional drilling jigs offer additional functions and adjustment options that ensure even greater precision and efficiency. They are robust and durable so that they can easily withstand the demands of a professional environment. Even complex connections can be realised quickly and precisely with these drilling jigs.
The use of a drilling template or drilling jig is particularly important to ensure the exact position of the furniture connectors. Precise drilling prevents errors and damage to the furniture and ensures that the connecting fittings function optimally. This not only increases the stability of the connections, but also preserves the aesthetics of the furniture, as no unsightly flaws are visible.
In addition, drilling jigs facilitate the entire assembly process by ensuring repeatable precision. This means that the same high quality is achieved when assembling multiple pieces of furniture. Even less experienced craftsmen can achieve professional results with the right drilling jig and create high-quality, long-lasting furniture joints.
