Sectional Couch Connector (Flat HD Fixed Mount #345)

These came just as described - pretty heavy duty to hold our heavy sectional furniture together. Definitely get the swiveling snaps as no matter how good the measurement you do, a bit of a mis-alignment would be well adjusted by the swiveling snaps. One thing that I had a doubt on was that the before attachment, the swiveling part looked pretty hard to move and covered two screw holes and I was wondering if I would be able to use those screws. But once partly attached with two screws, the swivel moved easily and I could get to the now-exposed screw-holes easily and worked just fine. They are expensive for what they do, but they are made well, look and feel durable and worked well on my sectional. cheers

This couch connector is excellent. I was able to install it on our sectional couch set where the previous connector was plastic and broke soon after the couch was new. For years we dealt with it, but finally in a recent move I decided to the Snap Connector. It was great, made of steel and did the job well. Very easy to install. I would highly recommend it.

Our sectional, purchased a year ago had one bracket already installed. We were not aware of this however and our sofa seemed to be in constant motion. Once discovered, we did all that we could to get it to lock but apparently it was faulty. And so, I turned to Amazon as I do with any problem of this type. We ordered two and installed them immediately. We heard it lock and our sofa has not moved at all since installation. We have a quirky problem where the male bracket was not long enough to engage. We solved that problem by using shims to align it properly. I highly suggest that you place two brackets on your furniture. Having only one creates a pivot point. Two brackets creates stability for that problem. BTW, we have hardwood floors and had tried no skid pads for the feet which did not help us at all.

bought a sectional sofa only to realize each section was not attached in any way and slid apart constantly. bought 2 of these to be safe, although one may have been strong enough attached one to the bottom front and one to the bottom rear of each section. they screw in easily assuming there is a piece of wood on the bottom into which you can screw them. you put one part of this item on each sectional piece and they slide it together, and the piece securely ratchets and clicks itself together. easy to install, easy to click together, solved the problem perfectly. sectional is now securely together.

We had a sectional held together by one traditional bracket--that was not working for us as people tend to flop down on our couch. We bought two of these and they're working so well! The sofa is strong, moves as a unit when I vacuum and seems very sturdy. NOTE: I didn't realize these installed on the flat underside of the sofa. Our couch is a cheap one and didn't have that structure. I ended up installing one on the back leg and one near the front just secured with fewer screws. Also, directions weren't included. I had to google and do my best to find the information on my own--that didn't please me. In terms of function, they're great!

Mounted 4 of these on a sectional. Installation was easy and straightforward. The clamps engage easily but do not hold well. These have spring loaded teeth that are supposed to lock into the wedge when pulled apart. The problem appers to be that that the wedge is too small for the teeth. On some of my units, the gap is large enough that they simply will not grab. Others will grab but can work free if moved side to side. My units were clearly from different batches (2/4 bought here). I am going to try bending the jaws shut some to eliminate the gap. I don't expect this to be a perfect fix since it will likely warp the flat metal and the jaws will no longer be parallel. As other reviewers have noted, the included screws do not fit the holes well and are also too short. I used different screws which were longer and fit better and could feel them holding much better when tightened.

We have a detached sectional that we could not keep in place. Once installed correctly, two of these did the job. They are sturdy and secure. No more wandering sectional, and they have withstood children who like to tickle on the couch. We did accidentally install one arm upside-down..... but that was easy to correct, and then they held like a charm.

After 6 months back and forth with the store, it was time to solve my sectional problem myself. These connectors are well made, sturdy and work very well. After 2 months they are still holding firm. I gave ease of installation 4 stars only because my hardwood frame made it challenging to install the connectors. Pre drilling definitely helped.
