Shed Planning - Woodworking Fasteners
Using Assembly Fittings and Hinges
Now that your workshop shed is up and running and you are moving along in those first few projects you realize there is going to be some fittings and hinges needed. These fittings and hinges will provide rigid joints and easily opening and closing doors. Thanks to the flat-pack furniture industry, which is also called RTA (Ready-To-Assemble) or K-D (knockdown) furniture, there are numerous useful woodworking fasteners and assembly fittings available.
Some fittings that you are most likely to use include:
- Panel Connectors - this is a device for connecting two panels side by side. The device clamps two units together and provides lateral location by having a bolt that screws into a sleeved connector.
- Corner Bracket - corner brackets are designed to attach table legs and also strengthen the corner joints. Two lugs fit into slots in the rails of the table and lock them together. A centre bolt is then tightened into the leg. This is a very common connector.
- Cam Fitting - a cam fitting allows two panels to be joined at right angles. An integral screw in one panel is twisted a quarter turn tightening against a cam in the other panel pulling the two pieces together. This connector has been widely used in knockdown furniture.
- Confirmat Screws - this is a nifty little screw designed to use with chipboard without splitting the material. A pilot hole of exact size is drilled into the chipboard core and then the parallel threads of the screw grip the chipboard fibres without expanding the board.
Some common hinges that you are most likely to use include:
- Concealed Hinge - when a door is closed (on a base unit perhaps) the hinge cannot be seen. The hinge clips onto a base plate that allows the door to be easily removed and is adjustable in three directions. To accommodate the hinge boss (the cup on the end of the hinge) a mounting hole is required.
- Lay-on Hinge - this is also a concealed hinge but a mounting hole is not necessary. This hinge just lays on the surface of the door and the frame and is screwed into place. This type of hinge allows opening of 180 degrees and is spring loaded for a positive closing action.
- Butt Hinge - this is the classic door hinge. It requires chiselling both the door and the frame to recess the hinge. This hinge comes in many sizes from as small as ½ inch to as large as 4 inches for hanging full size doors.
- Flush Hinge - this is a slim line hinge designed to be fitted without having to chisel a recess. One leaf folds inside the other making a very neat connection.
All of these fittings and hinges can be purchased in any good hardware store or do-it-yourself store. If you know exactly what you are looking for you can also purchase through mail-order suppliers.
