Why LOXX® Dowels Hold Stronger Than They Look

Why LOXX® Dowels Hold Stronger Than They Look

At first glance, the LOXX® dowel might seem like a lightweight solution. It’s small. It’s plastic. And it clips in with barely a sound. But underestimate it, and you’ll miss one of the cleverest fastening components in the LOXX® system, purpose-built for strength in places that don’t allow much room for error.

This isn’t just about holding parts together. It’s about reliable anchoring on profile rails where threading, drilling, or welding might be off the table.

Smart Design, Simple Setup

The LOXX® dowel is crafted from high-performance plastic, specifically molded to work seamlessly with profile rail systems. Its real brilliance lies in how it engages with the rail, no tools needed, no prep work required.

Here’s how it works:

  • Find the correct position on your profile rail
  • Click the dowel into place
  • Drive a self-tapping screw into the center

As the screw cuts into the dowel, it expands slightly, locking everything in with surprising strength.

Tiny Anchor, Big Grip

Once the screw is tightened, the dowel doesn’t just sit there. It grips. Firmly. It spreads the holding force across the inside of the profile, creating a solid connection that resists pulling, twisting, and vibration.

It’s ideal for applications where metal fasteners are overkill, or where you want a cleaner, hidden attachment.

And because the dowel is non-conductive, it opens up possibilities in electrical or mixed-material environments where metal parts can cause interference or corrosion.

When and Where It Works Best

The LOXX® dowel excels in settings like:

  1. Lightweight enclosures
  2. Electrical cabinets
  3. Framing systems
  4. Flexible paneling and removable components

It’s especially useful when you need modularity, something strong enough to stay put, but not so permanent that it can’t be reconfigured later.

Quiet Strength in a Click

Don’t let the plastic fool you. This dowel has muscle where it matters. It clicks in quietly, disappears into the profile rail, and holds on tight once engaged.

When you need clean lines, fast setup, and a fastener that punches above its weight, the LOXX® dowel delivers, stronger than it looks, and smarter than you’d expect.
