The Fuerte KD furniture connection system?

Our Fuerte KD connection system provides a really robust and reliable way to connect furniture components without using nails, screws and tools.

KD simply stands for knock-down, (the without tools bit). However, the FUERTE system isn’t any run-of-the-mill knock-down (KD) connection system. Its strength delivers longer-term durability for furniture.

What is the Fuerte connection system

With the FUERTE KD furniture connection system, you can create robust 90-degree and 180-degree joints, perfect for building and repairing all kinds of furniture where joints can’t be on show, simply using an allen key and wooden dowels

There are many types of KD joint systems on the market. However, not all KD systems work the same way. Some cheaper KD components fail to hold a tight connection. With just a little movement, the walls of the holes made to fit the housing of the KD mechanism are compromised, allowing more space for movement when the joint comes under pressure. Over time, the movement means the furniture joint can become compromised. In extreme situations, this can risk damaging the visible elements of the furniture or compromising its structure.

Why choose the FUERTE KD furniture connection system

The FUERTE Knock-down system includes a housing with steel worm gear and a hardened steel dowel. Together, these ensure a permanent grip and a constant tension, keeping the furniture joint strong and avoiding the movement that cause a weakening in lesser KD joint systems.

The Fuerte KD Furniture connection system is extremely versatile. When you buy from us, you can buy the individual components separately or as a set. The Fuerte sets come in 90-degree connection or 180-degree connection options.

They come in 64mm, 74mm and 84mm dowels and, because we want them to look good in all your furniture solutions, they come with a choice of black, brown, white or beige caps, so you can choose the cap colour closest to the colour of the furniture you are building.

What could you use the Fuerte connection system for?

The Fuerte is versatile and, as such, is perfect for building or repairing all manner of items including:

  • Beds
  • Table frames
  • panels
  • Cabinets
  • Kitchen units and more.

How to use the Fuerte connection system?

Fixing furniture with the Fuerte KD system is really easy. Simply insert the housing and the bolt into the requisite holes, connect the dowel. Then, with an allen key simply turn the housing to lock the steel dowel into place. This securely draws the two sides of the furniture together and fixes it securely, in a way that means the furniture can still be disassembled and reassembled as required for house moves, sale or decorating purposes.
