All Titus products enable furniture and hardware manufactures to improve their competitiveness.

Glissando TL 2nd Generation of add-on hinge damping
The 2nd Generation of Glissando TL add-on hinge damper replaces the existing Glissando TL. The 2nd Generation is a full substitute for existing Glissando TL with a sleeker housing which enhances the look of the hinge and wider damping scope for confident soft closing on a variety of doors. It retains the standard Glissando ‘One for All’ feature with one item fitting the whole range of ST 110 and Basic 110 hinges. It can be mounted at any time after the assembly of the cabinet and provides confident closing action and perfect functioning on every door thanks to adjustable damping force.

Titusoft – soft closing system for wooden and metal drawers
Titusoft is a universal add-on damping system that delivers soft closing feature to standard wooden and metal drawers. Intuitive installation and positioning above the drawer slide on the front side of the cabinet allows for simple, fast and precise mounting. The result is a stress-free user assembly process and reliable functioning on different types of drawers with no bounce-back. Installation needs no pre-drillings and can be made during the furniture assembly or later, when the furniture is already in use.

Titus range of connectors designed for high drilling tolerances
The range of technically advanced Cam3000 and Quickfit TL4 dowel combination helps furniture manufacturers to overcome inaccurate drillings that can result from marginal inconsistencies in the drilling process as well as the natural movement of wood-based panels. Quickfit dowel with in-built self-adjustment feature and enhanced cam profile provides an ETHC tolerance (Edge To Hole Center) of +/-1mm on drilling operation. The final result is a perfectly precise and aligned joint and improved quality of product.

New generation of advanced connectors for lightweight chipboard
Contemporary furniture constructed from lightweight boards of 12mm panel thickness or made of low density chipboard requires a connector solution that provides enough strength and accuracy. Titus innovative range of Cam3000 and High performance Combi dowel is able to cope high loads inside the lightweight boards. @¬#Full body@¬# design of the cam and dowel prevents chipboard to collapse and provides better stability in hole. Special dowel thread guarantees high pull-out resistance achieving high levels of strength. The result is a perfect closure and a strong, solid joint.

Titus range of Cam3000 S with an innovative low profile delivers an optimal performance with the maximum cost effectiveness. The off-centre drive recess on the cam prevents twisting of the cam when overloaded during the tightening action. It can be efficiently used in panels from 12 to 16mm. In combination with Titus Combi dowels it assures the high-volume producers of RTA furniture a cost saving solution without compromising on performance.

Titus damper for appliances
Titus hydraulic damper built into an oven door hinge improves the user experience by making the opening or closing of appliance door soft, silent and safer. It is conceived to deliver a life-long reliable and consistent damping. The latest development in the family is a solution appropriate for damping of objects with greater load which can operate in extreme temperature conditions. The high temperature resistant version of the Titus damper is effective in temperatures between -20 and +130°C assuring efficient damping in white goods@¬# applications. Its progressive feature keeps bounce-back to a minimum.
