Zipbolt - Counter top Connector

Easy to install or adjust, these knock-down connectors simplify the process of joining worktops, panels or handrails. Instead of having to use a wrench at an awkward angle to tighten or loosen the joint, you simply adjust the geared mechanism using a hex bit (2" long steel bits with 1/4" hex shanks sold separately). Sturdy all-steel construction, for use in wood or composites.

Other types :

Miter Connector

Used to secure mitered butt joints, this hinged connector draws together two pieces of stock that join to form any angle up to 180°.

Half-Miter Connector

To create a strong, snug joint between a mitered end and an adjacent face, this hinged connector can be set at any angle up to 180°. At one end of the bolt, an anchor seats in a 25mm (1") dia. by 12.5mm (1/2") deep recess, centered 60mm (2-3/8") from the heel of the miter. At the other end, a 10mm (13/32") diameter, 21mm (13/16") long flanged insert nut is mounted in the wood (or wood composite). As the parts are drawn together, an elbow hinge in the bolt adjusts to ensure a flush connection.

Railing Connector

Useful for perpendicular joints such as when attaching a handrail to a post or railing, this sturdy connector draws the parts together firmly, long flanged insert nut screws into the post or horizontal rail.
