Split Dowels / Bushings
Why choose SPLIT DOWELS/BUSHINGS?
Driv-Lok’s split hollow dowels are designed and manufactured to provide excellent retention forces and ease of assembly. Over the years, they have been tried and tested in real-life applications, proving to be a superb cost-saving option that other manufacturers do not widely offer. These fasteners are ideal for applications where two halves of an assembly are located and bolted together, but can also be used as spacers or compression limiters.
Description
Split hollow dowels are a cost-effective option that requires less material for manufacturing and eliminates the need for secondary operations like reaming and finishing. They are available in a variety of materials and finishes and can even be heat-treated for extra durability. These fasteners also come in straight gap and anti-interlock gap styles and can be auto-inserted for easy assembly.
Split hollow dowels are ideal for use in conjunction with bolts that pass through the dowel’s center after installation. This saves weight over conventional locating dowels, which typically require separate drilled and reamed holes.
As with all of our products, DRIV-LOK manufactures them according to your needs. Whether you need standard sizes, custom dimensions, or a particular design for your application, we provide you with the fastener that meets your specifications. We have many options available, and we’ll ensure that everything meets your quality standards.

Driv-Lok is the most experienced manufacturer of fastening solutions across industries. Our fasteners eliminate the expense and labor involved in providing separate locating dowels and their holes in assemblies. The bolt hole is counterbored on both halves of the assembly, and then the dowel is installed into one of the counterbores and used to locate the other half of the assembly.
