Concealed connectors for quick timber-to-timber assembly: the case of Radstadt

Integrating timber and concrete into a single project is a challenge that requires tools capable of precision, speed and structural solidity. In the heating plant in Radstadt, Austria, these requirements were particularly relevant: the roof assembly had to be completed quickly, in order to meet the site schedule, and required concealed connectors for quick assembly, especially in the timber-to-timber joints. 

Concealed connectors from the LOCK family proved to be the ideal choice for this project. Made of aluminium alloy, they allowed the quick fastening of the secondary beams to the ribbed beams, ensuring a stable and quick connection between the timber elements, where the concealed connectors allowed installation on site in just a few steps, and in the timber-to-concrete joints. 

The LOCK range: concealed connectors for every need 

The concealed connectors of the LOCK line are designed to simplify assembly and disassembly, ensuring high performance in various structural applications: 

LOCK C: is the aluminium alloy concealed connector for the construction of timber-to-concrete joints easy to install. The hooking system is ideal for quick removal of timber beams for seasonal requirements. 

LOCK FLOOR: is the aluminium profile for timber-to-timber and timber-to-concrete joints that provides exceptional strength. 
Quickly removable, it is ideal for the construction of CLT floors with support on concrete or CLT walls. Also suitable for hooking to the timber structure of prefabricated infill walls, stair ramps or canopies. 

LOCK T MIDIand LOCK T MINI: are innovative hook plates for completely concealed timber-to-timber joints that ensures exceptional strength. 
They can be easily disassembled, are ideal for the construction of small structures and can be used concealed even with elements of reduced section. 

They are the optimal solution for post-and-beam systems, carports, pergolas or slabs, in both indoor and outdoor applications. 

Thanks to these features, LOCK connectors optimise work time on site while maintaining structural quality and a clean aesthetic appearance without visible elements. 

A practical case 

At Radstadt, the use of LOCK connectors allowed the roofing to be completed on time, ensuring precision and efficiency and facilitating the continuation of construction activities.
