Blum Hinge Expansion Dowels - 8mm

They are used for securely fastening Blum hinges and other cabinet hardware to cabinet structures.

Each dowel measures approximately 8.6mm in diameter and 10.8mm in length.

You will need a screwdriver compatible with the Blum 608.1200 screw for installation. A drill may be needed to create the initial hole if one does not exist.

No, these dowels are designed specifically for use with Blum screws 608.1200 to ensure proper expansion and secure fastening.

Expansion dowels provide a more secure and longer-lasting hold compared to standard dowels, especially in applications subject to movement or stress, like cabinet doors.

The quantity can be selected from a dropdown list, allowing you to choose the desired number of dowels for your project.

Verify that you are using the correct Blum screw (608.1200) as specified. Ensure the screw is being tightened correctly and the pre-drilled hole is the appropriate size for an 8mm dowel.

Check that the dowel and screw are fully seated. Re-tighten the screw, ensuring it expands the dowel sufficiently. Confirm the material the dowel is inserted into is solid and not compromised.

Confirm the pre-drilled hole diameter is suitable for an 8mm dowel. If the hole is too tight, it may require slight reaming. If too loose, the dowel may not expand effectively.
