Wooden Dowels
Beech wooden dowels align and reinforce butt joints in timber and board furniture. They fit into pre-drilled holes in both panels. When glued in place, they create a strong, flush joint. Available in 8mm x 40mm and 10mm x 40mm sizes, in packs of 100.
Wooden Jointing Biscuits
Jointing biscuits are flat oval wafers of compressed beech wood. They slot into matching slots cut by a biscuit jointer tool. They align panels and add joint strength. Available in sizes No. 0, No. 10, and No. 20, in packs of 100 pieces.
Modesty Blocks

Knock Down Blocks
Knock down blocks are a two-part furniture joining hardware system. One part screws to each panel. They lock together to form a rigid joint that can be taken apart and reassembled. Useful for flat-pack units built to be dismantled.
Panel Connectors

How to Choose the Right Furniture Fixings Fasteners
Start with your joint type. Then think about the material. Then decide if the joint needs to be permanent or demountable.
Permanent wood joints
Use wooden dowels or jointing biscuits with wood glue. Dowels suit round-hole joints. Biscuits suit flat panel edge-to-edge or face-to-edge joints. Both need a biscuit jointer or dowel drill for accurate holes.
Flat-pack and knock-down furniture
Use knock down blocks or panel connectors. These allow the joint to be taken apart and rebuilt. They are the core furniture joining hardware used in flat-pack cabinet systems.
Cabinet and shelving assembly
Modesty blocks and rigid joints work well inside cabinets and shelving units. They hold panels at a right angle and are hidden from view once the unit is assembled.
Frame reinforcement and repair
Corner braces, corner plates, mending plates, tee plates, and stretcher plates are all flat metal furniture fixings. They screw to timber surfaces to add strength to weak or damaged joints. Good for chair frames and table bases.
Door and drawer closure
Magnetic catches suit cabinet doors where a quiet, flush close is needed. Ball catches and roller catches work well on lighter doors or where a positive click is preferred.
Wardrobe fitting out
Wardrobe rail brackets hold the hanging rail inside fitted wardrobes. Choose the correct tube type, round or oval, and match the bracket finish to your internal fittings. Polished chrome and white finishes are both available.
Buying tip: Many furniture fixings fasteners in sold in small packs. This makes them easy to try before buying in bulk. Corner braces, for example, come in packs of 4 or packs of 50. Modesty blocks come in packs from 4 up to 65 pieces. Check the pack quantity on each product page before you add to basket.
Dowels vs Biscuits vs Modesty Blocks: What Is the Difference
These three are all popular furniture joining hardware options. They are often confused. Here is how they differ.
Wooden dowels are round pegs. They fit into pre-drilled holes in both pieces of timber. They align the joint and add strength when glued. They create a permanent, hidden fixing.
Jointing biscuits are flat oval wafers. They slot into grooves cut with a biscuit jointer tool. They are faster to fit than dowels over long panel runs. They also create a permanent, glued joint.
Modesty blocks are plastic corner brackets. They screw to both panels from the inside. No glue is needed. They are quick to fit and can be removed. They are visible inside the unit but hidden from outside view.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are furniture fixings used for?
Furniture fixings connect, align, and reinforce parts of furniture. They are used to join panels, secure frames, and hold doors or drawers closed. Common uses include cabinet assembly, wardrobe fitting, shelving units, and flat-pack furniture construction.
What is the difference between a modesty block and a knock down block?
A modesty block screws directly to two panels at a right angle. It is a simple, low-cost furniture joining hardware option. A knock down block is a two-part connector.
