By providing a robust, clamp-like hold, these bolts ensure your worktop joints remain tight and stable over time, though users should note that a specific drill bit or routing jig is required to prepare the recessed holes correctly before installation.

FAQs
How many bolts do I need for one joint?
A standard kitchen worktop mitre joint typically requires three bolts to ensure even pressure distribution along the entire length.
Can I use these bolts on stone worktops?
No, these bolts are specifically designed for timber or laminate worktops that allow for routed recesses.
Do these bolts come with a tightening tool?
The pack includes the bolts; however, you will need a standard spanner or nut driver to tighten the nuts.
Is the 150mm length suitable for all worktops?
150mm is the standard size for most worktop thicknesses; ensure your worktop depth allows for the bolt housing to be recessed correctly.
Should I apply sealant to the joint?
Yes, it is highly recommended to use a waterproof wood adhesive or specific worktop sealant on the joint edges to protect against water damage.
Troubleshooting
Bolt will not tighten fully
Check that the routing recess is deep enough and that there is no wood debris obstructing the bolt's path.
Joint is not pulling flush
Ensure the mitre cut is accurate and that no high spots on the wood grain are preventing the surfaces from meeting perfectly.
Bolt keeps falling out during installation
Use the Easibolt holder to keep the bolt positioned securely within the recess until the nut is engaged.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures a rigid and secure connection for mitred joints
- Compatible with time-saving installation tools like the Easibolt holder

- Durable silver finish resistant to standard kitchen moisture
Cons
- Requires precise routing or drilling to accommodate the bolt housing
- Not intended for non-mitred joints

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your worktop sections are cut accurately at 45-degree angles. Use a router and a worktop jig to create the housing recesses on the underside of the worktops according to the jig manufacturer's depth specifications. Place the bolt into the slot, ensuring the metal teeth bite into the wood, and tighten the nut using a spanner until the joint is pulled flush. These bolts are maintenance-free once installed, but it is recommended to apply a small amount of waterproof PVA or sealant to the cut edges of the worktop before tightening to prevent water ingress and swelling.
