A simple way to secure knock-down panel constructions, these button-and-socket couplers are literally a snap to engage and disengage. Mounted to one panel, the 18mm (3/4") diameter button projects 8mm (5/16") and connects with a socket fitting on an adjacent panel, locking with an audible click, so you can be sure all parts are properly joined.
Each requires a 52mm × 45mm (2 1/8" × 1 7/8") mounting area for the socket and can be surface-mounted directly to the panel face using #8 pan-head screws, creating an 8mm (5/16") offset between the panels, or can be recessed (#8 flat-head screws required) for a closer fit, with 3mm (1/8") of offset.
Available with two different types of button fixtures; one has a 7/32" diameter hole for a #10 wood screw, and the other has a 6mm hole for use with a 5mm diameter Euro screw.
All parts are tough nylon; mounting screws not included. Four buttons and four sockets per set.
Made in U.K.
Requires two overlapping 5mm (3/16") deep holes made with a 24mm forstner bit.
Each set of button-fix in-line panel couplers includes four buttons and four matching sockets, enough to join two panels at four points. Mounting screws are not included, so you will need four #10 wood screws or 5mm Euro screws, depending on which option you choose.
You'll need two overlapping 5mm deep holes made with a 24mm forstner bit for each connector, sized to seat the button and socket flush with the panel face.
Surface mounting is quicker to install and creates an 8mm offset between the panels, while recessed mounting sits the connector into the panel for a 3mm offset and a tighter joint. Choose recessed mounting when the panels need to sit close together, and surface mounting when ease of installation matters more.
Yes, the button releases from the socket by hand, so panels joined with these couplers can be disassembled and reassembled repeatedly without damaging the connection.
It depends on the panel material and existing hardware. A #10 wood screw threads directly into solid wood, while a 5mm Euro screw matches the pre-drilled hardware typically used in manufactured panels such as MDF or particleboard.
