Your cart is empty. 12-gauge steel fastener easily and securely connects table tops or desk tops to their apron. Using a 11/16” (or 5/8" will work in a pinch) spade or forstner bit, simply bore a shallow hole in the rail or apron of your project, so the fastener top sits flush with the top of rail.
Attach the fastener with a #6 screw into the apron, then secure the wooden top surface with another #6 screw. Simple chisel work near the shallow boring may be necessary to ensure a proper bedding and free lateral movement of the fastener.
Fasteners are countersunk on opposite sides to keep screw heads flush. It's important to secure screws to a snug fit, but do not over tighten to allow for seasonal wood movement.
This item can be purchased with #6 x 3/4" screws, please select appropriately prior to adding to your cart; depending on your project, wood stock thicknesses will vary, so it’s imperative to use a screw length that will adequately suit your individual needs.
As with any form of adhering a table or desk top to a rail or apron, it’s important to always lift the project by the rails and not the top surface.

These are great quality and helped me attached a butcher block top on a kitchen island. They worked just as expected - no concerns at all! Great Product!

I saw a YouTube video about using these to mount a shelf unit on a wall. Turns out these work pretty well. One part of each screw/connector is countersunk into the shelf, the other is mounted in a stud for safety. The price is ridiculously expensive for just using two of them and there is some effort involved in measuring accurately and countersinking the connector. But it is so worth it, a genuine solution to a difficult problem. I'm looking for other projects where I might use them.

I have used these before and they work great. This is my 3 order for them.

Picked these up to secure a 1" top to a bench in the garage that I had long lost the original clips for. For that use, you can't go wrong with these. The hardware is more than adequate, the clips sturdy with no concerns of bending if I do have to lift by the top, and I'm sure I'll have no issues with these at all. Cheap, quick, perfect solution!

I used these to fasten the top on a larger than normal coffee table that was commissioned by my niece. I was thinking due to the size of the top that I would need 6 to 8 of these fasteners since the weight of the base was so heavy. Didn't want the base to get ripped off when someone picked up on the top to move it.After installing 4 in the corners at the ends, I realized these things are super strong and didn't need any additional fasteners. They held without problem. One thing I did was to use a forstner bit to make the recess in the end rails and then a chisel to widen the inside so the fastener could move with any wood expansion.I would highly recommend these and will be buying more when I use these up.

I am highly disappointed in these fasteners. The install is not all that quick and I just do not like them. I tried a router with a straight bit to cut the mortise and I tried a Forstner bit. Both, to me, are a pain. I think a much better, and much cheaper option are the Z type clips. Several ways to cut the slots - trim router with edge guide and 1/8" straight bit - or a 1/8" slot bit using the router from above. Or a dado in the apron before assembly. All in all, I think the Z clips are the better way to go.
