Scan fitting (cam bolt) is a type of which?

• A. Knock down fitting
• B. Jig
• C. Steam bending
• D. Wood screw

Answer: (A)

Knock-down fittings are designed so furniture can be assembled and disassembled easily, letting parts be shipped flat and put together later without damaging the pieces. A cam bolt is a classic example: it passes through one panel and, when a cam lock in the adjacent panel is rotated, it grabs the bolt and pulls the panels tightly together. That combination of adjustable, reusable joints is what defines a knock-down fitting, rather than a jig (which is a guiding tool), steam bending (a wood-forming process), or a plain wood screw (a simple fastener). So the cam bolt fits into the category of knock-down fittings.
