Barrel Nut
Barrel Nuts, also known as Cross Dowels, are cylindrical internally threaded fasteners used in combination with connector bolts for strong panel-to-panel joints. They are manufactured to ASTM, DIN, and ISO standards in carbon steel, stainless steel, brass, or aluminum. The cross hole allows alignment with a bolt to create a secure and concealed fastening system. Available in zinc, galvanized, stainless, or decorative brass finishes, they provide strength as well as aesthetic appeal. They are widely used in modular furniture, cabinetry, shelving systems, woodworking, and structural panel connections.
