clickandlock
Clickandlock refers to a type of fastening mechanism commonly found in flooring materials, particularly laminate and engineered wood. This system allows planks to be joined together without the need for adhesive or nails. The "click" action describes the sound and sensation when the tongue of one plank securely engages with the groove of another. The "lock" signifies the secure, interlocking fit that creates a stable and unified surface. This interlocking design creates a tight seam, preventing gaps and contributing to the overall durability and structural integrity of the floor. The installation process typically involves angling the edge of one plank and then pressing it down until it clicks into place with the adjacent plank. This method is known for its ease of use, making it a popular choice for both professional installers and DIY enthusiasts. Click-and-lock systems are also prevalent in other products requiring a simple and secure joining method, such as certain types of shelving or paneling.
