ONEFIX

(01.07.2005)  

There is no reason why RTA furniture, POP displays should not be of good quality and have reliable connector technology.  With the Onefix one piece connectors, Häfele has brought a fitting into the market that achieves this goal and has achieved a prestigious award.  Onefix was awarded the “best of the best” Interzum award for its high product quality.

Award winning Onefix is the first one-piece, top quality, plastic connector that combines the housing and the bolt in one single fitting to hold the bases and side sections of furniture together.  Mainly used for RTA furniture, it can be pre-mounted by machine or inserted by hand and has been specially developed for panel thicknesses of 15mm and above.  This technical hardware innovation reduces the number of potential errors that can occur during the assembly of small and flat packed furniture items, minimizes the number of fitting components in the bags supplied with RTA furniture and makes assembly even simpler.  The housing is easy to align over the bolt after the fitting has been installed allowing for a damage free surface. 

The advantages of Onefix are obvious:  The parts bag in the RTA furniture only contains one cabinet connector, making it impossible to use the wrong fitting.  No tools are needed to install the fitting.  It can simply be pushed in by hand.  The housing is easy to align over the bolt after the fitting has been installed.  There is no risk of the end consumer having to screw the bolt in and out several times during assembly in order to position it correctly.  The surface damage that is frequently complained about is effectively avoided with Onefix.  The screw is screwed in at an angle which provides a good grip for the screwdriver during tightening.

Onefix from Häfele provides furniture manufacturers with decisive advantages:  The fact that the connector consists of a single piece makes storage and ordering easier.  The housing diameter of 20mm means that the drilling pattern is identical to that of the Rafix SE, the Pushfix, and the Slimfix.  This rationalizes automated workflow, since no reconfiguration is required when product changeovers occur.  No horizontal drilling is required.  Onefix can be pre-mounted without problems.

When it comes to top quality connectors, Häfele has the answers.
