DURA DOWEL is a patented pocket-forming dowel system engineered to simplify concrete joint construction while improving slab alignment, load transfer, and long-term joint performance. Combining a high-density plastic sleeve with an ASTM A36 hot rolled steel plate dowel, DURA DOWEL helps reduce cracking, faulting, and uneven slab movement in concrete flatwork applications.

Designed for faster installation and improved forming efficiency, DURA DOWEL features JDR’s exclusive Die-Loc design with reinforced gussets that help prevent sleeve crushing while maintaining proper positioning during concrete placement and form removal. Additional nail holes above and below the sleeve provide added strength against upward and downward concrete forces, while tapered funnel nail guides help speed installation on the jobsite.

Ideal for industrial floors, sidewalks, warehouse slabs, highways, parking structures, and commercial concrete applications, DURA DOWEL delivers dependable load transfer while still allowing horizontal slab movement at expansion and construction joints.
